@Sparkathor There's a joystick selection tool that can be used to configure which controller is Player 1 for different systems - https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection.

I agree! Would be pretty nifty to actully have it being USED as a touchscreen! :)

@mitu sorry, must have read too quickly. I was thinking one credit per each time the emulator is started, and then drop a credit when the game exits.

I can provide a bitcoin address on request if needed. Thanks.

I opted to skip on the Achievements for right now and am in the process of making this now. As all themes I've ever made, I'll give people the files and info if they care to make it a theme, but I manually create all my gamelist files and make all my own screen shots/start screens/sprite files, so unless you're going to take the time to do that, theme won't look good. Here's a looping GIF of what it looks like so far. I've only grabbed 1/2 my SNES sprites so far and am using start screens for the screen shot until I get it fully set up and then I'll replace them with actual screen shots. I think it came out pretty nicely, I may look into the Pegasus avenue, and need to really buckle down and improve any coding knowledge before I can even come close to my end goal. Things that I plan on fixing is the GAME INFO box, and the Title Box. I'll have them expand to the size of the text inside, but I don't believe there is a way to pad the edges, so I don't know how I'll like the look.

So its looking like I want to do the mausberry varient if these power mods, which varient are people using mostly to get what I'm after tho? https://mausberry-circuits.myshopify.com/products/shutdown-circuit-use-your-own-switch direct-plug micro-USB, 2-pin spring terminal header, or the versions with a USB female plug? I'm still not 100% certain how this works but it looks like the switch only controls either the reset or power switch? If that's the case does the power switch still power everything directly? What I'm thinking is this correct me if I'm wrong? Power switch = hard on off power (no script for safe shut down) Reset switch = mausberry switch with script that if in emulator and pressed quits the emulator and if not in emulator and is pressed runs script for safe reset?

hummmmmmmmmmm got it, sorry to hear that =x thanks alot anyways for this amazing comunity and software!

@buzz ok! cheers :)

@used2berx said in [Idea] Game Manual viewing in ES: @mitu OOPS.... I meant a PDF to PNG, or a PDF to JPG converter. I believe I found what I was looking for. Have to do a few more tests. It was something called "PDF to Image" that just one dude made and he offers it for free, and it's portable so you don't have to even install it. I was able to take a 26MB PDF of a magazine and turn it into over 2GB of PDF files using 600DPI. Way overkill and not what I'm looking for. lol I'll have to try out the 300DPI and 72DPI settings and see what happens. calibre is a good one, if that doesn't work out

@hex said in Tutorials Category ?: Currently the search is broken. If I want to check if a thread solved a problem I have or a feature I need, there is no way to check other than scrolling a lot or asking again When I face such situation I search at google and it works really fine. I just use "retropie" as the first term searched.

I don't think this is needed in ES. Sselphs scraper frontend has append option included btw.

@lilbud it would seem like a good idea if doing theme development to get a keyboard.

@red2blue It does resize them if you wish, correct. That being said, if you lack ideas on the use of that real estate, browse the theme gallery and see what others may have done, or what ind of info you can present. Some images may be taller (boxart), which may fit well there, but some other boxart is horizontal, so won't be ideal. But keep experimenting!

@Capeman That's true but isn't that the same for some of the other options? If the option was included it would at least be noticeable that it's possible to deactivate the splashscreen. I only found out that is possible to do so because someone mentioned it in some thread which I was luckily watching for some other reason.

@Hex https://github.com/miroof/node-virtual-gamepads was updated a month ago, the other one not, but if it works? :)

@ruckage just wanted to give you a heads up. I have finally wrapped up adding rotation support for themes. You can read about it here
