Hi guys!

I really enjoy this fantastic theme... (great idea!).

Therefore I would like to contribute to update earlier version with new stuff.

So, I would like to focus on kiosk version... so if you have some pictures with high quality do not hesitate to share them... Indeed, it's quite tough to get it.

Also If you have some ideas... Let me know !

In the meantime... Work in progress...! Here's some snaps attached...

PS : Appologized for picture quality!

@japanwings Will you make a SNES kit? Would buy instantly. (EU Snes/JP Super Famicom)

@TMNTturtlguy Late to party but just wanted to thank you for the hard work. This blends perfectly with your theme which is by far, the best one IMHO. Both versions run perfectly on my Raspberry 400 but I did run it through Handbrake to dumb down the gain. A little too loud for my tastes. Thank you again!

Great tool. You've saved me hours of eye, back and neck strain. Thank you for this!

@tictac_93 This works in most cases ... yes

But look. You take PID of runcommand and use pkill -P switch to kill child PID. That works in most cases but some emulators also just call annother process and this won't be catched by your method. You need at least annother pkill -P call.

You should just use your python script and you can use the multi_switch and it's command line options. Therefore use a python call like output = int(subprocess.check_output(['./multi_switch.sh', '--es-pid'])) and you can check if ES is running. If the ouput is 0 then python interprets this as false if a PID is detected the value is grater than 0 - this interprets python as true.
So the sniplet in python itself would be look like this.

if output: os.system("./multi_switch.sh --es-poweroff") else: os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")

@RedFarmer Out of pure curiosity, I asked the web about it:

Nice cab, I’d like to ask you for some help with mine, if you can.

@weirdh 😅 this pic is actually a week old, I have since then changed the monitor and the bezel..

@sleve_mcdichael thanks :) but its much easer with the poup adn needs les butons

Thanks for everything you do, Devs! Can't wait to see what awesomeness in emulation you bring us in 2020.

I've got to agree with @Stuffu. Pretty much everybody on this forum is super helpful whenever they can be. I see very few problems go unsolved.

Cheers to all the moderators and thanks for all your work. You're unsung heroes helping me (and probably a lot of us) keep our sanity through retro gaming and way too much tinkering.

Party on, dudes! (and dudettes and anybody else that doesn't include).

@virginsteele Love what you done with H.E.R.O. It was one of my favourite atari 2600 games.

@michel30
hello, I'm a noobie.
But I have a question:
Are you saying you have a code that will constantly play a mp3 file and play in the background and will continue to play while you do other things in the background
using pygame?

I got mine to play when i boot up the raspberry pi but, as soon as I do something like start my MAIN.py the mp3 stops playing: and I need it to KEEP PLAYING?
Can you help?
Thank you?

@BugAttack I am amazed on what can be done with a Raspberry Pi 1! :D

@nismo , Hi there! I'm absolute noob and I'm not a native english speaker, so please be patient with me! I'm using the ES portable build from herb fargus on windows 10 and I'm realy interested in the mentioned launcher which would make my Retro Gaming Experience much more enyoable! Any chance to get this launcher somewhere here in the forum?

I loved this theme. I am planning on make a fork just to change some preferences, like not force uppercase. Congrats and thank you

This particular goof actually reminded me for the first time in years that I once maintained an Atari 2600 fan page on GeoCities. The whole shebang has been archived for posterity by some sadomasochist madmen in a 90GB torrent. I might try to dig it out some day.

is it possible to have these as console screen savers. like when I click "a" it sends me to the console instead

Merry Christmas, y'all! (Or I guess Boxing Day, considering when I'm posting this.)
