Understand thanks for your time.....

@mitu Thanks for the reply to both of you.

It turns out, I had set my ui settings to detailed. I switched it over to video and made sure the theme I was using supported video and... bingo. all set.

@sleve_mcdichael having had a cursory look I can confirm and I lean towards "won't fix".

Rationale: As long as there are SDL events they get pumped into the Window.cpp/GuiComponent::input() call chain an consumed from there. Every downwards component "sees" one event at a time. Processing of the event is stopped either at the last GuiComponent in the chain or if a input() call returns true.

This also happens with Use LR/LB for full page navigation set to false. It just does not occur as easily as the cursor most of the time is always placed middle.

One option to remediate may be to measure the time between the events and if they are too close (i.e. less time than between update()/render() calls) drop the second, and ofc only if the events are LR/LB.

Sweet!!

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks for that info. Worked a beautiful treat!

I also found where I likely messed up. Some of the roms I have were copied over from another system that uses the same file structure. I ended up finding some gamelist files where I didn't expect them to be and those were the files that had the "sortname" section. Just removed those files all together and re-scraped and generated new gamelists for all the systems. Everything is sorting perfect now.

Thanks for the help!

@Lolonois oh yah, it looks like this is the same issue as that.

I'm using linapple. It does not appear to support .zip files (platforms.cfg), but adding the Apple2 suffixes to that list in nametools.cpp does look like it might do the trick.

Edit: yah that seems to have worked: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/compare/master...s1eve-mcdichae1:skyscraper:apple2exts

@GreenHawk84 said in PSX Gamelist 0B?:

To anyone reading this, back up your image with a 2nd SD card, or at least copy your gamelists/roms/downloaded_images to a PC. This is really critical if you spent a ton of time perfecting your build.

I use to backup all relevant files to my smartphone.
This gives you the option to have all these files & folders ready anywhere and anytime :D

@Deathweaver .svm files should go in the main scummvm folder, not within the games' individual sub-folders:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm $ la atlantis.svm 'Beneath a Steel Sky (CD VGA)' 'Day Of The Tentacle (CD Dos)' 'Flight of the Amazon Queen (CD DOS)' 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)' 'Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (Amiga)' lsl1-amiga.svm 'Maniac Mansion (Floppy DOS v2 Enhanced)' maniac-v2.svm monkey2.svm 'Monkey Island 2 - LeChuck'\''s Revenge (Ultimate Talkie Edition - DOS)' monkey.svm queen-fallback.svm 'Sam and Max Hit the Road (CD DOS)' samnmax.svm sky.svm 'Space Quest 2 - Vohaul'\''s Revenge (Amiga)' sq2-amiga.svm '+Start ScummVM.sh' tentacle.svm 'The Secret Of Monkey Island (Ultimate Talkie Edition - DOS)' pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm $

@just_jeepin
Have you tried skyscraper? The default for it gives me a screenshot with the marquee and boxart. Not sure if you can add everything you would like but the GitHub for it does talk about customize the scraped art so maybe you can? If nothing else you get some boxart.

@NIGHTKILLER05 I would say any game that has a lot of patches would be best. Maybe some of the Mario or Pokémon games. If it is just a single patch you want to use for a game, it's probably not worth it. Especially if it's a translation or a color patch for a GameBoy title or something like that.

@sleve_mcdichael cheers and thanks again for reporting back. :-) One more thing: As a courtesy for other other forum users (and robots from some search engines): Could you please edit the title of your first post and add [solved] somewhere? Thanks.

@goestohollywood Don't worry about the order in the file: ES is always shuffling that around anyway if you have 'save metadata' enabled. The list SHOULD be in alphabetical order inside ES either way (or else it's conforming to any <sortname> tags you might have).

@mitu Thank you very much! It works!

@Nathan1031982 Skyscraper (and perhaps Sselph's Scraper too, but I haven't used it) will write gamelists in alphabetical order when it processes them.

After you play a game, ES updates the last-played and play count data. It removes the old enty with the old data, and writes the new entry with updated data at the end of the file.

You can re-write your gamelist with Skyscraper if you want an alphabetized snapshot of it to use for another project but you can't make it stay alphabetized if you play any games.

@mitu,

Oh yes you're right, if I go down to the directory I can see the images...

Thanks..

Cool idea and looks nice.

You might consider using <sortname/> [1] in the gamelist instead of modifying the display name of the ROM upon preprocessing.

What duration adds the preprocessing to the ES start?
Do you rewrite every extra information to the gamelist every time (video, thumbnail, ... and hiscores)? I would assume only rewriting the hiscores would be sufficient as they change more often than the "static" scraped data.
Last but not least: What are your plans to publish the sources?

@asdone77 said in theme gamelist text alignment problem:

How can the text of the gamelist be centered and left alignment at the same time。

I don't think it can. What do you mean?

@tomaz said in [ES-dev Bug Report] Attempting to modify Description metadata exits ES with a malloc error:

https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/779 should fix this

As expected, works perfectly. Cheers!
