      Not sure how that's related to RetroPie. What is H5 ?

      @dktpi I have experimented with dolphin on the pi4. Mario kart double dash was almost playable with an over clock. However it did have some issues with graphics. From what I have read Dolphin does not completely support arm processors yet. You can try though.

      @cdaters hmm, and if you maintain a set of collections? (Games starting with A, Games starting with B, etc.)? This works out-of-the-box already (and the TL/TR for paging in the game list as well as the Jump to... letter in the options menu, too).

      @sirhenrythe5th I had not considered this either. And yes, a very cool fact! If I remember correctly that's actually what got me in to the game in the first place after watching an Atari doc. Thank you for the ideas.

      @del1verance Hi, well, good question... If you try displaying it directly on the terminal you're logged into the RPI? (for example cat log.txt)

      Just to be sure, did you configure the marquees <marquee>.....</marquee> in the gamelist.xml?

      The fact that there's output in the log.txt file is that emulationstation is sending the information about the marquees, we need to figure out if it is the proper information (marquee image path) or not.

      @mitu Yup.

      I have taken this a step further: fbterm allows using any TrueType fonts.

      @MeltedPineapple you'll have to do the research on how to set that up. I haven't attempted it myself, I'm waiting for my Sinden Lightgun.

      @h2805270 Really clever idea, looks a lot like Teletext, and clean layout too. My only reservation is that I'm not sure I'd want to spend too long looking a Teletext screen, as they're not the easiest on the eye. I was never a big user back in its heyday though, and others may well have a greater fondness and nostalgia for it.

      @Bluebotlabs I know what your original post was asking. If you want mouse support right NOW, you can use the pegasus frontend as an alternative. It uses emulationstation's scraped art/gamelist info except for logos/marquees.

      @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.

      @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 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.

      PiTheme

      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?
