      @Ashpool just to let everyone know, the author posted a revised file on that github site to fix this.
      Nevertheless, appreciate everyone's attempts to help me with this. Cheers!

      @mitu said in EmulationStation Marquee Bug (with work-around):

      EDIT: Try the Magazine Madness theme, it has support for marquees in Detailed view.

      You're correct @mitu. Just tried in both Detailed and Automatic views and without videos referenced, the marquees do indeed appear.

      For each theme I used that exhibits the problem, the marquee section is under <view name = "video">. Updating the themes, including Carbon, by moving the marquee section under <view name = "Detailed"> works (and would seem to be a more common scenario).

      Seems that many themes used Carbon as a baseline and have marquee under the video view section. Easy to fix (or change, if it was what the author intended).

      Thank you, as always.

      @mitu said in Screen tearing in pi 4:

      Try using fbi, it's an image viewer that works on the console also.

      Thanks that looks promising. I’ll have to see if there’s a way to control which display it outputs to.

      What's your use case ? When do you want to display the marquee - gameplay/game browsing ?

      @tulathron Actually I did test with dsi display, but... I failed.
      even though put "display_default_lcd=0" in config.txt, DSI display works always as the default screen
      (that option was worked for vga666 dpi display, I don't know why it doesn't work on dsi)
      Sorry I can't help.

      @Davelusa yes P4 should be fine, I'm actually doing a Street Fighter cab conversion to an LED marquee and P4 is the best fit for that. Hit me up and I can send you some pics on how it turned out. Here also is a recent Bartop project I did https://www.instructables.com/id/Arcade-Machine-With-Changing-LED-Marquee/ . That one is PC based and has a nice feature unfortunately only available on the PC where the marquee will change also when scrolling through games and emulators on the front end.

      you could try this project http://pixelcade.org , includes artwork for 128x32 too. Disclosure, I'm the creator of this one and sell them as kits.

      @jwbmonk @meleu created an amazing script https://github.com/meleu/generate-launching-images that creates launching images for a specific theme.
      What I think it does is take the console images of the theme and create launching images. I guess it could be possible to add an option to use the scraped box art instead of the console image.

      It's not possible yet. Although @Zigurana is working on making the system carousel mechanic available in other views. Until then we only have text available as gamelists.
      Unless you want a theme that only shows 1 image per game without any other elements.

      @EctoOne I second this, I've requested this before. It makes sense to have boxart and a screenshot option in detail view using the md_marquee. this could give people the option of displaying either static (screenshot) or video view, while still displaying the boxart.

      Plus - for my personal preference, i could turn off my annoying fan noise when using screenshots lol.

      @valhalla_pi I couldn't find it at first but I found the lines were there in carbon.xml, not in theme.xml.
      Like you said, I only had to change the showSnapshotDelay into true and add the extra delay line. Works!

      Thank you.

      @lurker It can be done. A lot of people jump to the direct GPU which cannot be done, however the Displayotron Hat LCD panels you can get for the Pi which run over the GPIO interface use a frambuffer which runs independently from the GPU, so terrible framerates overall but for displaying 2D graphics.static images it is perfectly acceptable. All you need is a display of similar construction with an SPI interface to send the image to.

      @y0da oh. You should also be able to find the option inside the "other settings" menu, isn't that the case?

      You can select a different theme that doesn't use overlays as predominantly. What theme are you using?
