@anthrax Yes. You can edit the theme.xml file within the theme folder to change the size developer text. There are some more details about how to do that here:

Theme Editing

If you are interested in the layout I edited in the post above, I can send you that specific theme file.

@rkoster said in Adding Text to Custom Theme:

I posted an example of doing exactly this just the other day: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22800/add-console-year-next-to-games-count/2

Thanks so much! That does look like it might be what I'm after, but I still can't see to get it to work quite right. I have tried it a few different ways, but the code is not displaying properly. Can you upload links to the two XML files you reference in the other thread so I can see you're work-flow (and will help discover where I'm going wrong)

@mitu Noted. Thanks ;)

my fault !! I was skipping it. Thanks

@mitu Fixing the case sensitivity worked! Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I'll try it!

@mikeydoom Sure, go for it! Sharing is caring.

Looks like you found the EmulationStation config file. You want configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg
you are looking for the line that reads
mgba_gb_model = "Autodetect"
Change Autodetect to SuperGameBoy

@saikyo78 My pleasure.

@ferhound Just use a Collection to group those games under a different section - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#custom-collections.

That was it! So it seems the selectorColor property is a multiplying value.

Regards and thank you very much.

EDIT: You can see the result here alt text

...no I can remove the UP/DOWN help from the bottom.

@dankcushions Ah! Wonderful. I'll look into that

@mattrixk many thanks!
All images, icons and logos of consoles, images of buttons, etc., I drew myself. The only thing I borrowed is the icons for the RetroPie settings. I don’t even remember who their author is, but it was someone from the same forum. They are in the catalog: retropie/icons

@j-e-f-f You probably had OMX enabled in your old build.

WARNING: Overlocking can damage your pi.

Hello,

I have been messing around with the pi 1 model b, and I have found that if you overclock the retropi, to 1000mHz, and sigificantly increases your speed of pi and are able to play emulators that you were not able to play before. This includes Sega 32x and GBA. However overclocking your pi can seriously damage your pi. This is because you are forcing the CPU to work faster then it was designed for. Recommand you do this for short periods of time, but never long term. The only Pi that you can successfully overclock is the Pi Zero, which has been designed at the hardware level to run at 1000mHz. To overclock go to retropi settings and then go to overclocking.

Also if you add a keyboard and mouse you can use the ports emulator. In the retropi settings, to to retro pi setup. Click on optional packages, that then scroll down to the bottom of the list, you will find a selection of open-source (free) games to play with a keyboard and mouse. Connect the pi to the internet and download from binary. Reboot the pi and then play. All work on the pi 1 model b without overclocking.

Thank you and regards.
