@EctoOne Correct. Once you upgrade, if you are using a theme that doesn't support video, it should use the detailed view instead. Hopefully the carousel changes will land soon.

So, I purchased a mini HDMI to a standard HDMI cable, and replaced the cable and adapter I had (the amazon basics mini HDMI to female full size HDMI adapter). Everything works perfect now. Thanks everyone!!

@jdrassa awesome, will try it.

thank you

I know, I follow TWiT and that bradcasting network emits in a national US radio, many users do not want to see RetroPie widely known because of the policies of Nintendo for example but being broadcasted nation wide via a radio station and internationaly via internet, the project is widely known

Perfect, worked great. Thanks!

I use something similar to this to hook my pi to an old wood grain tv with a single coaxial input, but there are hundreds of different brands.

@mattrixk will check it, ty.

@herb_fargus theres worse things going on in the world opposed to copyright infringement lets be honest here :)

@fnkngrv Yeah. That's 0.01 seconds :)

You'll need to set

<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>

to true, and add a number of seconds there - you may try 1 to start with.

@Melvin.FoX The link i provided refers to changes you can make in the boot.txt file. 😉

@LiqwdE ah ok. I don't actually know - I didn't read it in detail. If it requires software probably not.

@jdrassa awesome work mate. Can't wait.

@UDb23 You are referring to the concept of overscan. I think old CRTs often had slightly different borders where the image could be drawn. As a game builder, you maybe had exact specs on the monitor that would be used in the arcade cabinet, but best practice included placement of important items (like cockpit readouts, score text, etc.) within the "safe" area so that the image could be adjusted to fill the screen. Actually, the image may have been adjusted to go beyond the screen, ensuring all areas are covered. It's a bit like printing ink on paper using a full-bleed, knowing that the final piece will be cut such that your image goes edge-to-edge.

Anyway, I am glad you got it figured out.

@Vlad Yes Enhanced Resolution shouldn't be used for 2D sprite games.

Hi, I realise this is an old post but I thought I'd try to revive it by asking for a command help to run in windows PowerShell.

I've noticed some users on the forum asking for a 'release date' modification, changing the release date from, e.g 18/10/1985 to simply just 1985 and thought this could maybe be done with windows powershell.

Standard format for the gamelist.xml
<releasedate>19851018T000000</releasedate> (note the first 4 digits)

to be turned into...
<releasedate>1985</releasedate>

I just wondered if this was possible using WPS and maybe having the option of adding an if statement of 'if no date found' add '19xx' to the release date tag inside the xml?

Thanks :)

Just a quick bump to know if the devs plan on adding this feature or not :>

@Cooloring if on a pi 3, disable overscan on /boot/config.txt.

If on a pi 4, doesn't work with omxplayer because of different video handling. Use VLC for screensaver.

You may choose to use VLC for screensaver on the pi 3 as well, but performance isn't great.

@dover19 note you don't have to do this manually - it can be changed from within RGUI when in a game.

@edmaul69 said in Stella Screen Size:

If lr-stella supported that stuff i would use it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, lr-stella has a lot of non playable games due to it's lack of peripheral and console switch support. However, I've been very happy with the native version of Stella. I don't believe there's a single game that you can't get working in some way. There is a bug in the older version used in RetroPie, that causes the paddles to stick to the walls, but it's still preferable to the complete absence of control found in RetroArch.
