      @BuZz I already have my two systems set up and working after the manual copying. I'm actually out of extra Pis and USB drives at the moment. If it's broken it's not bad enough that I wasn't able to fix it so it didn't really bother me.

      @thedeathstar It certainly isn't the point to keep going over the same material again and again no. It may have been better to perhaps say "Please read the arcade documentation." though - which is what herb really meant.

      It's frustrating because people don't even bother to read the information on registering - users are asked to agree to read the sticky topic then, and they don't. We only ask that users try to help themselves first a little - so our time can be used more efficiently.

      @robertybob In my experience with building themes, it is difficult to create themes with very specific placements that work for both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios. If you create a background image, ES will stretch that image to thew new aspect ratio, however it will not stretch the individual images or meta data, it will just "slide" them in relationship to the change in aspect ratio. For my theme, I ended up having to create 2 versions, a 4:3 version and a 16:9 version. Not ideal, but to achieve what i wanted and eliminate a lot of indivdual image files, i had too. The futura theme and several others will only work in 16:9 format as well. Some themes with solid color backgrounds and without overlays work well as they can "shift" the images and data over a background and not worry about alignment or scaling problems. I am not sure of the details of how you have your theme setup, but based on the images, it appears that you might be able to remove the "TV" from your background and make the "TV" a separate image. Then place the "image" that goes on the "TV". Of course your background would be listed at the top of the .xml, then the TV and then the specific image. I have not tried this, but what i am guessing will happen is that TV and the image will both adjust the same amount when switching between 4:3 and 16:9 and thus they will stay aligned? Worth a shot anyways. The only downside I can think of is that you want to make sure your image files are as small a file size as possible, you might get into some lag/load/refresh issues as you slide from system to system. Does this approach make sense?

      @obsidianspider I love James and Mike but I found this video a little frustrating. Maybe because I have to play this all the time and know the rules. I was surprised they didn't realize how to screw over the other player :)

      If you've read the guides, you would know that the bios only goes in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

      https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/PC-Engine
      The right side of the page also has seperate instructions for ps1 and arcade.

      Also, it's better to help if you would follow instructions from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

      Updating Retropie returns sounds to TVs via HDMI that never use to work.

      you might notice sound is then lagging and Retropie crashing. if this occurs uninstall pulse on Raspian.

      I really didnt notice any features worth noting in the newer versions of lr-fba, so i just set it back to lr-fba 2012 (or whatever year they tacked onto the older version) - fixed the whole set without needing to redownload anything.

      @AlexMurphy I did create that folder , and after I created the folder and inserted into pi it came out with all the emulator and Ron folders. But I'm not sure how to check if that other option is switched in or not..

      @mattrixk Yes, they are both in the /art/ folder. This theme is literally a copy/paste of the 'simple' theme that comes with the latest version of the windows ES build. I literally just copy/pasted the folder in the /themes/ directory, renamed the folder, and edited the .xml file

      My best bet is not to launch EmulationStation until you press that button. Now, how you go about it would require some investigation - I suspect if anyone would have done it, you'd have an answer by now.

      Best of luck.
