      @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.

      @mcfaria2000 You are using the "Level I" ROM instead of "Level II". There is no SYSTEM command in "Level I" ...

      The order is alphabetical by default, and EmulationStation shows them in the order they appear in the configuration file (es_systems.cfg). You can create your own es_systems.cfg and re-arrange them in the file as you want - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#es_systemscfg-edits.

      I don't understand how they eve manage to sell these. The images are easy enough to find for anyone who would want one. I can't even offload some surplus Pi 3 Model B's @ £15 a piece.

      @mitu @BuZz @Efriim I finally got it working! :D

      local bin_file local bin_files local default local id local index local version ... some other code ... for index in "${!bin_files[@]}"; do default=0 [[ "$index" -eq "${#bin_files[@]}-1" ]] && default=1 # Default to the last item in 'bin_files'. version="${bin_files[$index]}" version="$(echo $version | cut -d'_' -f 2)" addEmulator "$default" "$md_id-$version-$id" "godot-engine" "$md_inst/${bin_files[$index]} --main-pack %ROM%" done

      So it seems like the error had something to do with the index variable (previously it was named i). Either it needed to be initialized as a local variable or the script didn't like that it was called i... I really don't know. But I got it working :)

      Another thing that I found and maybe it's worth mentioning (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that when I run:

      sudo ./retropie_packages.sh godot-engine configure

      the config file:

      /opt/retropie/configs/godot-engine/emulators.cfg

      seems to just add the new stuff on top of the previous configs that were already there. I mean, it doesn't delete the file and creates it again with the new configs.

      Shouldn't "deleting the old file and creating a new one" be the "correct" thing to do?

      Thanks! :)

      @cybermonkey01 most of the free to download games that can run on the pi are already in our ‘ports’ package manager.

      @thomthumb

      The newer versions of MAME can emulate Tamagotchi devices, but I'm not sure about Digimon. If not, new LCD games are being added all the time, so it may just be a matter of time. As far as RetroPie is concerned, running the newer versions of MAME would normally be a bad idea, as performance would be terrible. However, LCD games like these might not demand as much to run well. It'd be a great experiment. Here's an article discussing the games being added to MAME's repertoire and below is a video to see a few of them in action.

      @xvo Reicast doesn't have BBA emulation support. Demul on Windows is the only DC emulator that can play online, as far as I know.

      There are premade disc images for Sylverant called PSO DC Ives Pack 2.0. They're all bugfixed, online and offline capable and ready to go. Not linking them here, obviously.

      I'm sure there are other private servers out there too.

      Just put some decent kits together, create PDF/video guides on how to install Retropie, how to put ROMs on the system and all the other basics.
      Don't forget to use homebrews for examples and mention that using ROMs of games you don't own, or BIOS of systems you don't own is illegal.
      Give credit to RetroPie/homebrew developers.

      Doing this I think you are in the clear.

      I have updated this method as well as updated the comic book theme to support custom systems. @meleu has also create a very nice linking method as well. If you are interested see the post here which provides directions and links to both methods. New Comic Book Theme!

      Panic over everyone.

      I run an ls -a on the folders and found the cause of the problem, the files were hidden with a "._" prefix making them hidden.

      Removed all those and the system returned to normal.

      Thanks all.
