I had a similar thought and "solved" the problem by running a webserver, where you can download the manual to another device by connecting to the retropie.

I write "solved" because it's very hacky and I've only implemented it for DOS and ScummVM games, as games on therse platforms usually need more "exposition" to enjoy properly (or even at all with some of the copy protections).

I haven't worked on this any further as I'm lacking the skills. But at some point I will probably refine the project, if I find the time.

@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.

@dankcushions I understand.

@lilbud Ohhh... I see... I hipe you get back soon man

You can always bypass software and just splice together a cable that combines the stereo audio channels into one output. Just strip the left and right channel wires, wire the grounds together, solder a 1kΩ resistor to the end of each audio channel and combine them together to get a solid mono output from a stereo source.

@dodoremi10010 you may want to look at the ODROID Xu4, it just recently got a full version of Retropie and so far in tests it can play a lot of the Dreamweaver, N64 and PSP games that you never could on a RPi

@dankcushions NVM than

as soon as i get home im going to fill out everything that can be helpfull

@ectoone these are all good ideas and I will look into them.

@jdrassa
As part of the theming-refactoring, I have started to split out the carousel into it's own GuiComponent-based class.

This gets complicated real quickly, as the carousel should also take care of member population, input handling (incl the texture loading/unloading), so I had dropped it again for now. Things move slow enough as it is X-).

But anyway, if you want me to send you the stubs, let me know.

Btw: if I read the OP correctly, this also is a CR for an 'automatic' carousel, in the sense that it will move through the contained members on a time interval?

@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

@Keigan I take full responsibility

@jdrassa This method seems to work great if the UI modes are not in use but if it's set into Kiosk mode the es_settings.cfg reverts to an unmodified state after reboot. Does enabling the Kiosk mode overwrite the es_settings.cfg file? If so can I modify the Kiosk mode to include the splash screen setting?

@dodoremi10010 said in [Request] SMBX With Wine port.:

SMBX

I have my doubts about being able to use it with wine, but if you really want to play it with your friends on your TV you can install Moonlight to stream it from your PC if you have a NVIDIA GPU

@Tao I know, I am a Linux user and I also know Opensource is not the same as free software
