@snapouille, have you found SVG files for all of the other controllers? Would you mind sharing where you got them? I can look at those and possibly create some SVG files for these that you are looking for...

This has now been fixed in the latest version of carbon-2021

Wow so cool looking forward to the finished product!

@lostless Thanks! I will have to look into that!
It's amazing what you did with your PlayStation theme you've made. I'm a huge fan of it. :)

@lister-of-smeg
mmmmmmmm... otherwise i thinks this github it's not updated.

Infact i can read it's theme 4.0 instead on github it's write 1.7

I'm not sure it's the same theme......

Yeah I also encountered this issue after updating everything. Reinstalling doesn't solve it. The theme probably needs to be updated by the creator.

Not sure what you mean by 'background' - are you referring to the frontend's background (EmulationStation) ? If yes, this is part of the theme that's currently active in EmulationStation - you can install other themes that may feature a different background or you can create your own. See the themes page for alternatives - not all themes are covered there, but it should give you an idea of what's available.

@mode11 said in SSIMPLE V theme for vertical screen:

or could the last half-displayed line of text be cut off or covered (as appears to be the case for Grid View, judging by your screenshot)?

Thank you for detailed feedback.

Unfortunately OMX video override theme image. if you enable OMX playback, video would be on top always. that i can't help I just change video size as you said. you are right it's better looking You can hide thumbnail tag by editing theme.xml file- about line 209
wrap with "<!--" and " -->" list and bottom buttons are just fine with me but I edited it just in case. I know currently grid view does not work on Pi4.
Performance is not guaranteed, but it will work in the development version of ES - you may need to change VRAM LIMIT high enough.

@unknown No, the default theme (carbon) doesn't support them.

@SireGo There are a few themes that support it - epicnoir or bluray (one of the many themes created by Dwayne Hursty - I think some of the other themes they created also support the new systems).

@Simrose In my personal experience, using and configuring multiple controllers in retropie involves going into the system file and changing the cfg file every time you want to change the controller (if you have custom mapping keys as I always use like volume). Also installing new systems, you have to enter to the repo and download different packages or drivers. With Batocera you place the bios files, roms and you are running, also you have a built in file browser inside the system, even if you want to configure any emulator setting you can do it right from the main menu without using a keyboard or entering any game. This is great to apply global settings like resolution, shaders or bezels.
For me its better and has much more options but Retropie has a better forum and support for solutions. This is my experience after years of using both.

Hey @A12C4 yes to behave like the carousel in wheel mode, a bit like the game wheel in hyperspin I guess. A vertical single grid that is rotated slightly.

I understand no problem, just thought I'd bring this up for a future update :)

There are a few things that I would love to see before this anyhow, such as sound scroll for the gridview, that would be awesome!

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.

@landyvlad said in What theme would you choose for a cabinet?:

Let's say for the sake of argument that you were to build an arcade cabinet for your retropie... what theme/decals would you choose?

Well, I actually built one and chose to design it like the original Asteroids cabinet:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17268/my-asteroids-themed-diy-upright-cabinet

I wanted a single, classic design with a black background and vibrant, high-contrast colours to emphasise the retro character of the cabinet.
