I tried to apply some of the themes from the list you linked and they don't work either. Same result as on the first screenshots I posted. The Carbon theme kind of does apply but now breaks when opening a system: I guess there's just something wrong with the package on AUR and I need to find some other way of installing the ES. Thanks for your help!

Because I don't want to lose all navigation sounds, I just don't like these specific ones, I think they sound tacky. Plus they vary in audio quality and volume. Replacing them with a silent audio file is definitely an option if I can't find a way to stop it from trying to play them. Ideally a way to edit the theme so it doesn't try to play them at all.

@mitu I have to apologize, as I discovered that my hasty assumption was wrong! You can filter by favorites = false, which makes it much easier to go through a list and catch faves that you missed. :)

@saikyo78 My pleasure.

Wow, that was fast! Thank you @mitu

@mitu I will. I've been into Retropie for a couple of years now so have a reasonable handle on the themes available, the challenge is always finding one which hits the spot but gives you what you want. Given it's a build in an actual PS1 case, the Playstation theme was the obvious, choice but it didn't really tick all the boxes. After a lot of trial and error, Showcase seemed the next best alternative. I'll keep on looking. I've been meaning to build this for about a year now, just sod's law when I get round to it, it looks like modding the PS Classic is now the way to go. :) Many thanks for your advice and assistance, greatly appreciated. Regards Andrew

Thank you.

Doesn't matter, I worked it out. I had the <folder> tag placed in the wrong place. Regards,

Hi Mitu. Sorry for the double post. Thought this would be a more appropriate place as this topic, because more than likely this isn't something that is already built-in. Thanks for the feedback.

It looks like I've solved my own problem. I found some older threads that mention changing the memory split in raspi-config advanced options. By default, mine was set to 256. I changed it to 512 and everything works flawlessly now. I've rebooted the system multiple times to make sure it wasn't a fluke and everything is still running great after a couple of hours.

@eldgrim said in Strangerstuff issue with segacd.: unfortunatly, the author no longer supports his creations But fortunately all the code is only and anyone can submit pull requests ;)

Yeh its been mega hot in the UK especially here. I must admit, I get most of my own personal work done when its colder haha :P

found https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases and that seemed to do the trick.

@stuart2773 said in logoText help in theme: any news updates on this theme? Hey @Stuart2773 not as yet mate sorry, still waiting for some of the features to make it to stable, not had much time lately to work more on it but I will eventually tho.

@EctoOne said in Change color!: Can't you just add the <color> tag to the ratings node? Although that would only work if your svg is completely white. This is correct. I added this sometime last year. I see the theme docs was not updated though. I will fix that shortly.

@cyclair I have never created a theme, but it seems to me that this page describes how to setup sections for metadata. Have you tried removing the sections for both the labels and the data (ie: md_lbl_rating, md_rating sections)? I think you have to make backups and try this. It will be trial and error, especially to get your positions correct since you also said you wanted to raise the text. There are no simple answers here. You will need to get in there and make adjustments. Also, I tried clicking your pastebin link and it looks like the XML is in a different language than your long post. Did you know you can go back and EDIT your long post? Folks might be more inclined to respond if you clean up that first post a bit.

Thanks so much EctoOne, that was some sharp eyes :D I tried to simplify the structure previously by using variables to populate filenames but this ended up causing issues. Changing back to the file structure and hardcoding the names of each graphic seem to fix that. I thought I was done with messing in them sub-theme files and didn't think to check in there. I was hoping to find that these problems where linked with the memory issues but alas, these problem with random missing images still prevails. Not to worry. Thanks for helping me solve this problem. Github updated Cheers Dal1980

@fluffypillow Strangely enough, these two themes work fine, including backgroundmusic in the 9999999-in-1 theme.
