      Emulation Station Crashes on Boot with Themes

      @twalls

      Hello....
      Your thread is probably one of the closest that I can find online for my issue. Any help would be great...

      I've built 20 or so arcade 1ups with raspberry pi 3b+ and ran into this problem on the latest NBA Jam build with 4 players. Probably 50% of the time the arcade boots I get a message directly after the emulators load (right when it says done) that emulation station crashed. Talks about changing the theme and if it's the first time loading retropie, etc. Screenshot_20210917-210224_Photos.jpg

      I use the same image for every one of my arcades, 4 player and 2 player and have never ran into this problem. I've changed out everything....usb cables, encoders, raspberry pi, surge protector, tried a different outlet, changed the theme, etc. Nothing helps. Sometimes it boots normal and perfectly, but I'd say half the time I get the crashed message. I've tried doing one encoder/joystick at a time and it works fine...all the way up to 3 encoders/joysticks, but when 4 are connected that's when it randomly does it. I've noticed that after I turn on and one of the encoders flashes (red light) instead of staying on is when this happens. And it's random each time of which encoder flashes. Like I've said though, I changed out all the encoders, cables, pi, surge protector. I'm at a loss here and is driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      @mitu I see what I did. I got it to work. Thanks for the help. Would you have any idea why my video snaps for game previews are working in Attract mode but not emulation station? I would love to use this BTTF theme all the time but trying to find a game to play without preview is challenging.
      Again, thanks for your help

      I just want to use a theme that is already set up for three media types. That will look much better than forcing a third image into one that's designed for two. I just thought there would be more than the two I mentioned...

      If there's anything you can just point me to that I can try to look at for a fix, I'd appreciate it.

      You can look at the list of the themes available in RetroPie here. The list format is 'Github user', 'Github theme repository', so

      RetroPie carbon-centered

      can be found at https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon-centered. Once you have the theme's repository, you can download the theme as a 'zip' file using the Code button

      Most of the themes are not designed for a portrait mode - but you can try some of the 4:3 and CRT designed themes. I remember one them ( crt-centered ) had a simpler layout, with video on top of the gamelist, which would maybe fit the bill.

      EDIT: you can run the theme-gallery from the Configuration/Tools->Emulationstation to get previews for different themes, just to see how they fit on your screen.

      Theme is coming along nicely now. I intend to do a series (I got another 4 weeks minimum of furlough) of themes, based on hit SyFy channel TV programmes, starting with Warehouse 13.
      I am doing 1 system at a time and testing it, having different characters and artifacts for the system screen, and basic screen, with a warehouse type tag for each.
      So each one will look a bit like this;

      SYSTEM Screen
      system screen.jpg

      BASIC Screen
      basic screen.jpg

      However, I am having issues with the Detailed/Video Screen. I have this so far;

      Detailed screen.jpg

      But what I want, is just to incorporate a screen shot of the scraped game, then a video snap of the game, but I want it so that it is in the "screen" of the following image. I am happy where the gameslist is, as I wanted it in the lid of the farnsworth (fans will know what I mean)also with the positioning of the other Meta data and the console. This is the image.
      farnsworthjpg.jpg

      Is there anyway of manipulating the scraped image so they appear in the round window. I have tried most things, but don't know how to display only screenshots and videos, and discount the marquees and the boxart. With the one I have I was able to make it fit by making the screen square.

      As always, any help very much appreciated.
