@nemo93 mapquest directions said in Gridmonger - a cRPG mapping tool :

Gridmonger is a free and open-source dungeon mapping tool to replace pencil-and-paper mapping when playing old-school computer role-playing games (cRPGs). It aims to do one thing and do it well:

Cool, nice work! I'll be sure to give this a go next time I play something mappable.

@NIGHTKILLER05 I would say any game that has a lot of patches would be best. Maybe some of the Mario or Pokémon games. If it is just a single patch you want to use for a game, it's probably not worth it. Especially if it's a translation or a color patch for a GameBoy title or something like that.

@sleve_mcdichael @mitu @YFZdude Thank you guys for all your kindly help, check this out:

I don't have a skyscraper folder inside /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper folder:

Thats a little weird, but then I saw the las post from @sleve_mcdichael about execute the command with "./" and worked like a charm:

Release MAME / Retroarch bezel / overlays tool v4.0 · cosmo0/mame-retroarch-bezel-converter (github.com)

@mitu Thanks I will look into that.

@EctoOne Oh, that's a real bummer. I thought the package with the "-Linux-64Bit.tar.gz" in the filename from the releases page, which is build with PyInstaller would solve issues like that in the future. I get a fontconfig error with it on my current system and it can be a local issue on my machine. Not very encouraging, but maybe you could try to run that.

But well, it contains binary files, so from security standpoint I can understand when you don't even want try that.

@thelostsoul said in Gamelist Addon - an assist tool to manually add new game entries:

About the automation, yes I want that implemented in the main app too someday. Just in case you did miss it,

I actually did miss it. Thanks for the directions.

@Fabioborsoi said in RetroStats Web Application:

Weekly Activity works for a while ( first 6 days ) then disappear, if i check the /schedule it seam populated properly.

I see what you mean. There was an indexing error, not sure if or when I might have introduced it. Should be fixed in 0.0.7.

Edit: I rushed the fix and it is not complete in 0.0.7, 0.0.8 should work.

@KimDb said in [TOOL] RPi ES Kids Mode Toggler:

@mitu, I've also provided a special build (the Mitu Build) with the feature you requested.

Thank you, but you shouldn't have - it was merely a suggestion. It's less likely I'd use it, since I don't have a windows machine at home - where my Pi is sitting. Thanks anyway !

No problem. May be good though for anyone who reads this(, has Windows) and likes the idea as well.

@cosmo0 I just booted up the ol' Retropie after a few months off and did a frest update of all packages. My 3yo toddler was going to meet Pac-Man for first time, and the overlays in FBA for Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man now go over the game. I tried Galaga as well, and that looked good. Did something get goofed up recently in an FBA or Retropie update?

I installed new version of Arcade Manager, and it isn't dl'ing any new overlays for me.

Lemme know what you think. Thanks and happy holidays!

Thanks guys! Notepad++ did the trick for me. Most likely the most essential piece of software for windows for me :)
