@Agustinb14 said in Controls don't work in retroarch or in console games: I can't seem to be able to bind 2 different hotkey keys for my controls but that's ok. At least I can play now. Only Player1 is able to access the hotkeys' functions - P2 cannot control them (including opening the menu). Glad you got it working in the end.

@Efriim yes that is where it goes. You change the line to: emulationstation --no-splash #auto

@mitu Which folder can I find the code to edit? Would you please describe it in detail? Thanks! @mitu said in How to modify the description of EmulationStation?: @Leonard-Lin You'll have to edit the code and change it, then recompile.

@hiulit The code you posted seems ok. I've scoured through the existing modules and I've found something similar to your case - Oricutrun. It adds a few emulators for the same system (i.e same emulators.cfg). Incidentally, the code has a bug (i.e. always ads a default emulator instead of using $default). I've run the install script and the .cfg file is created correctly - has all the emulators' entries. Just a crazy idea - remove the emulators.cfg and re-run the configure action for your module sudo ./retropie_packages.sh godot-engine configure and check again the .cfg file.

@johny8 How did you determine that ? You claim is rather ridiculous. 'Sabotage' ?

@alkah3st which premade image are you using?

@maplestory Correct. It doesn't matter. Those lines relate to the extra folders - nvram, etc. Thanks for reporting! Hope you're having fun.

@Hex Thanks for the info!

@m0h most joypad extractions are handled through retropad with retroarch, I know they had some plans at some point to make the retropad more visual but I don't now where they are at with it.

All set! Thanks again!

@jdrassa said in Request: Option To Disable Carousel in ES UI Options: FYI, Someone submitted something similar to this previously that was rejected. https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/85 It looks to be rejected mainly based on how rudimentary the request was that was submitted. The guy who originally submitted this push did so by simply making a flag that disabled the back button in ES, which is too simple of an implementation for buzz, he wrote that he wanted to make sure it was a better coded function. @Hex, i promise I'll get to the next step soon, perhaps tonight if i get a lull, hahaha! Too many adult, work and parenting responsibilities come first. Damn these 30's.

I do still have the original LCARS ES theme online on my MEGA account. However, it was made well before all of the new enhancements were made so it does NOT support the All Games, Last Played, Favorites, nor any Collections. That's why I removed it along time ago. I believe I still have the original Photoshop PSD file for the LCARS wheels I made as well. I'll have to look for it. I'll get the MEGA link updated with a new one in the next day or so (I'm not at home right now) so you can download it. It'll still work with ES of course, it just doesn't support any of the newer menu items.

@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?

@Capeman: Dude! This theme is by far the best theme I have ever seen for RetroPie. I know you sort of lost the files and that life itself takes time too ;) but it would be awesome if you would be able to pick this up some day. Really, really nice work.

@jdrassa I just encountered a big flaw while using ${system.theme} in an <include> tag. If it can't find the specific file, e.g. if someone uses an custom collection, it breaks the whole theme for that selection. All theme settings are suddenly ignored. I had the idea to create some sort of external metadata library for systems that could be simply used by theme makers just by including a single file which further imports the metadata from ${system.theme}.xml files and also provides labels. It also imports a file which is used to theme those text elements. I integrated that into my Flatline Theme here for testing purposes and noticed that behaviour. To make the process clear again: theme.xml includes _assets/mds_include.xml mds_include.xml includes mds_data/${system.theme}.xml and mds_style.xml It would be great if you could take a look at it and tell me if I made something wrong or if that is unavoidable for now. I mean I know that ES will fall back to the default theme if it can't find an include file. Maybe there's an way to ignore that error. Edit: I just had another idea, would it be possible that ${system.theme} returns default if an unknown system is selected? Then we could use files like default.jpg or default.xml.

@jdrassa my hacky perl involved reading the rating and path of every game it then creates launch scripts for any game with non-zero ratings under a new emulator "ichiban" i'm pretty sure the xml is fully parsed i'll dig a little deeper when i get a chance but saving gamelists is a cpu-bound operation ie, the bottleneck is not: reading the xml (which are only a few megs at most) querying the filesystem

@justhoeber if it does it again with a new pi then you may have a bad TV ;)

Love the screensaver option. Random is great and all. But would like to request an option to select custom video files to play as screensavers?

@Ladyslayer0160 sorry to bring this up. I just got the same problem. I can't use the keyboard or joystick up and down after update. but works fine in terminal. Have you resolve this issure yet? Thanks!
