Now next I'm trying to get the shutdown working.
I've followed a guide but I'm struggling with this
Finally convert shutdown and reboot scripts within "~/Retropie/roms" into executable's by the commands:
a. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/ashutdown.sh
b. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/reboot.shI'm getting permission denied when I try and execute them. So I think I've done something wrong!
Also the dots are fixed apart from power... Which is finding the right icon... But is being selected in alphabetic order... Rather than at the end
-
@Jste84 you need to reorder the power menu from the es_systems in order to be the system number 18 in your file
-
@chicuelo still hasn't worked... I taking you mean going into etc/emulation station?
I moved it to after Nes (my 17th system?)
Should I be including systems I don't use.... Like amstrad for example?
-
@Jste84 tried this too it's not working... So when I go through the indicators...it jumps from pc engine to power at the bottom them to psp...
-
@Jste84 What I mean is that power indicator is on the 18 position if you count from the first dot. you have to edit the es_systems.cfg to make the power menu appear in that position.
Your es_systems.cfg should have a structure like this: The systems will be displayed on your screen according the position you place the tags
<system> SYSTEM NUMBER 1 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 2 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 3 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 4 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 5 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 6 </system> <system> SYSTEM NUMBER 7 </system> COMPLETE UNTILL YOU REACH 17 SYSTEMS AND HERE PLACE THE POWER SYSTEM -
@chicuelo that's what I did and still no joy. It's in 18th place in that system list...
But when I scroll in retropie... Its jumping down to the power icon at the bottom of the screen after pc engine... then when I hit down again... It jumps up to the dot below pc engine.. (I think it's psx.)
It was doing that before I moved power from the bottom of es systems and it's still doing it after I moved to 18th position
-
Is it because I have more than 18 systems? It's weird though as favourites and settings work fine...
-
@Jste84 Do you have configured your indicators properly? you have to rename them too, for example if you set mame as the first system, you have to rename the indicator with the first dot as mame, so if you decide to display mame first, you also make the indicator named mame display the dot in first place.
You have to do it with all 18 systems, auto favorites is always the last system showed so it will display automatically -
@Jste84 Check the indicators folder now, we have updated them, its very easy to set up:
-
@chicuelo I've renamed the indicators.. they all work perfectly apart from power.
-
@Jste84 could it be because power isn't last in my indicators?
-
-
@Jste84 It should work, if the name matches it has to be displayed.
The system is displayed but ain't the indicator?
Make sure you name the folder as "power" (case sensitive), you have also tu place the files on the roms directory inside a "power" folder. -
@chicuelo it is displayed... Just not in order.... Tried to video the end result... But I can't uploaded it even after shrinking
Thanks for your help... I'm not sure why it's not working.

@Jste84 Im seeing on your snapshots that you have:
...
Gameboy Color
Power
Mame-libretro
...they will be displayed in that order, you have to move power to the 18th position, in order to match the graphic criteria. If you have more than 18 systems, those who are below wont have indicator

That's not how the theme is working for me. I have 16 dots on the page... Then a settings icon, then the power icon then the favourites icon. Power is currently in 18th position in es systems
When I get to the 16th indicator (the last system) which in my case is N64. When I scroll down. I've got it show the next console as dot 1 (in my case new). So when I scroll down from N64... It doesn't go to settings, power or favourites... It goes to nes... This is great as it's what I want it to do.
When I scroll down from bed it works fine, goes to dot 5 - pc engine I scroll down again and it takes me to power - and in turn the power indicator 2nd from bottom. If I scroll down again it takes me to dot 6 Sony PSP. I then scroll down again until I get to the bottom of my systems and then It goes to settings and favourites...
-
@Jste84 I think you have more indicator files than you should, if you say that after N64 that is your 16th system you have nes, and instead you must have retropie menu (number 17 and before power that is 18) after N64, not nes, but maybe you have another indicator file, with the white dot in first place called nes, so you have 2 (or more) files with the first white dot, and it doesn´t matter in which order you place the system, when you are on that system it will show the first white dot.
Can you paste here your es_systems?
-
@chicuelo Yes I also think that the Zelda series is one of the best games on SNES and N64 however it just seems better to not have the same identical poster on both SNES and SFC. I know how to manually edit the xml files and change the poster for the system. What I do not know is how you got the black fading effect on the poster so that it fades within the menu/indicators.
It doesn't have to be Bomberman for SFC. It could even be Super Mario World. Just an example.

@tpo1990 one of the most hard tasks on making this theme was finding or greating the image, not any image could go with the theme, if you find a very good one I could prepare

Hey all,
Apologies for the delay in uploading the latest changes but I've been quite busy with some other programming projects and I had to keep the theme in the back burner for a moment.
As Nico / @chicuelo mentioned, the latest fixes are now online. In the next few days I'll be working on the Power scripts (shutdown, exit, reboot etc) and I'll upload them also for testing.
If anyone has any issues or any wishes please let us know. :)
