      Please provide the rest of the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      You should upload the gamelist.xml for the system where the faulty files reside, to make sure it's not been incorrectly generated.

      So this what I have. The grid actually works and all I really need to do now is add in all the Metadata and positioning of everything. I used <autoLayout>1 5</autoLayout> under imagegrid to specify how many columns I have as well as how many games are shown in the grid. Anyway, thanks again for the help, even though I ended up figuring it out for myself. At least I know that what I did matched your suggestion to a T.

      SpeedySausage

      @mitu used all the resolutions but they had the same issue. I fixed it by making the bars smaller and modifying some code. Here is what i did. Reference if someone comes with same problem.

      First here the two smaller images. https://imgur.com/a/BbOfzr7
      I named them gamelist_outline_smaller.png and gamelist_background_smaller.png

      Uploaded this files to my pi on /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/art
      then modified the setup xml with

      sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/setup.xml

      replaced both paths with the new images like this example

      <image name="gamelist_background" extra="true"> <path>./../art/gamelist_background_smaller.png</path>

      since my resolution is using 4x3 i went and

      sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/4x3setup.xml

      i replaced gamelist outline so it alignscorrectly, with this code

      <image name="gamelist_outline" extra="true"> <origin>0.5 0.5</origin> <pos>0.7055555555555556 0.5</pos>

      and done

      @smartazz104 Thank you! A lot of the dates for games that I've scraped state the 1st of January because I think the exact date is unknown. I shall have a go at adjusting the theme.

      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!

      Spectral

      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. :)

      @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

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

      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.
