I think they're using a bezel in RetroArch to show the game bezel at the top during gameplay. It's not using Pimarquee(2), which is what I understood you're asking for. You could use a bezel approach (works only in RetroArch) for your idea.

@mitu thank you for these links!! I will give these edits a go when I get home this evening and report back!

Thank you again! So helpful!!

it's retropie + attract mode + hyperspin theme + piemarquee2 but i resolve starting it over from the beginning and the problem is gone
dont know why but now it work

thank you

@mitu I apologize. I had a feeling that would get me smacked. I have created a new post with a similar request for assistance. Thank you!!

@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.

Please add more details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu Thats great, it worked, just added an & at the end. Thanks very much!

@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 ?

@mitu thank you very much sir. you have helped me thru this entire project without knowing it seeing as how this is my first post and i have been living in these forums back in April when i started this. this was the only time that i have been completely stumped but i knew if i got on these forums it would be you that showed me whats up.

@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.

Use another front-end, maybe ?

@Rens hi. How do i order ? And do u ship internationally.
Kind regards....danie

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.
