@williamcaput said in Megadrive ROM language select:

RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.6.1

The 4.6.0 series had EmulationStation at version 2.9.1, your log shows an much older version (2.6.1) is in use. Are you sure you're using RetroPie 4.6.1 ?

The log shows the ROM files are launched fine. I would check the ROM files as @windg suggested and maybe post a verbose log from launching with lr-picodrive. Use pastebin.com for the output, since they're quite large.

@mitu Discovered my problem. There were actually two theme.xml files that needed editing, the first in the root of the designated theme and a second copy in the retropie subfolder.

Sure enough, modifying both theme.xml files got the font working!

Bonjour, j'utilise retropie sur ubuntu 18.04 et installé dolphin.
tout fonctionne a part que si je met la langue de la wii en francais , a chaque démarrage du jeu avec emulationstation le jeu change de langue automatiquement et repasse en anglais.
sur la gamecube je n'est pas ce probleme
quand je lance dolphin sans passé par émulationstation la langue que j'ai choisi se met bien et reste tel que je l'ai mise, des que je lance les jeux avec emulationstation la langue se modifie et ce n'est plus celle que j'ai mise
Es-ce que quelq'un a déja eu le cas et a une solution
merci

u understand me not correct the roms are from me thats i now thats it whos english bevor,

and i dont find the correct answer on the internet :( but ok

@Henadarr RetroPie isn't in Chinese by default. They included a modified RetroPie which we can't support (it's also against the licenses of software included in RetroPie to distribute it with a commercial product).

I was scrolling through the commits of the recalbox emulation station build and I'm curious if the following commits can be merged (maybe just partially) into the retropie version. From what I've seen and understood, those should add support for themeable menus and add an extra menu to directly switch theme settings in the GUI.

Main commit helpBox fix transition tag (not quite nessessary but would be nice to have)

wow!thanks all you guys! I fixed this problem.i used those command：

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fonts-droid-fallback
sudo reboot

and i changed theme‘s font file to chinese font.

ps: If you rom file name not enghish,DO NOT use usbway to copy roms.Because the rom name will be like that：“？？？？”no matter what you do.

@a-southern RetroPie is not an emulator. Are you referring to the Emulationstation frontend, used for browsing the games/systems and launching ROMs ?

Nevermind. It looks like I'm on Stretch, not Jessie. I guess I'll have to re-install Raspbian yet again...

Ok, Scrolling to the Left works, but i only get to Spanish before it Crashes. No German :/

I know this topic is old, but I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to install the localized EmulationStation on an old Raspberry Pi model 1B board.

However, I would like to install with Retropie version 4.3 (Debian 8 "Jessie"), because this version it runs much better on the Pi 1B model.

I've been using the old link (https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation) but to no avail

Below are the steps I am following:

Note 1* Updated the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" legacy path (https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=237469)
OK

Note 2** Update existing APT packages: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
OK

Note 3*** Installing the following issues (rapidjson-dev)
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rapidjson/rapidjson-dev_1.1.0+dfsg2-7.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i rapidjson-dev_1.1.0+dfsg2-7.1_all.deb
OK

Resolve dependencies of libraries Localized EmulationStation
OK

Create a clone from GitHub: (git clone --recursive https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation.git)
OK

Compile Localized EmulationStation
cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
OK

Testing Localized EmulationStation:
cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
LANG=pt_BR.UTF8 ./emulationstation
OK

Install Localized EmulationStation
cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
sudo cp ./emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
sudo cp -r locale /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
OK

Run Localized EmulationStation
Error message
lvl0: Error - File type unknown!
emulationstation: /home/pi/EmulationStation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:17: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Assertion `!err' failed.
Aborted

Can I have any solution to successfully install localized ES in Retropie version 4.3?

Just one more thing on this subject...

This piece of code here...is it possible to add a image to the background? (of the actual text)....so instead of the background colour, add a background image instead?

<text name="systemInfo"> <pos>0.010 0.1465</pos> <size>0.980 0.050</size> <backgroundColor>FFFFFF00</backgroundColor> <color>ffffff00</color> <fontPath>./art/montserrat-regular-webfont.ttf</fontPath> <fontSize>0.02</fontSize> </text>

To anyone with the same issue in the future: the solution is to change emulator altogether.

The lr-xxxxxxxx ones are too intermingled with retroarch and all that boogus to let you change the language easily (or at all.)

Go to the retropie setup, download a different package and go from there.

Mupen64 don't set language. Normaly they are in the rom and you can select theme directly in the game.
