Hi, could you share me how to use lr-mess/MAME Standalone in retropie step by step for

Supracan
NES-Datach

How to build runcommand in emulator.cfg with software list enable? (How to enable?)

I knew how to add system but cannot make it work like official mame 0.231 (in mame supracan -cart <rom>

Noted that I am using lastest lr-mame/mess (default) built from source on Ubuntu 21.04 Gnome40.

Hope to here from you asap!
Thanks for million times!

I have moved my reply to this thread :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-and-mame-standalone/317

Imho, not exactly the right place to ask in this thread.
Actually we want to preserve this for the themes.

I added my konamih carbon theme to my repository :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-themes-00/carbon

I also made a fork of the es-theme-carbon repository :
~~https://github.com/FollyMaddy/es-theme-carbon~~
EDIT (renamed) :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/es-theme-memedev-carbon

I added :

cdimono1
fmtowns
konamih

I have made a fork so it becomes easier to install it in RetroPie or via our frond-end script in the future.
If I can I will add some more.

If I wanna do that on github with my Cygnus modified theme. Is It easy to do?

Yes, I think so.
I will help you.

Btw I added tigerh too.

@dteam
Nice !!

Just to document, because otherwise I forget how I did this.
And also, perhaps we can use this solution to track forks from other theme-repositories as well.

From the es-theme-carbon repository there are 68 forks.
Here they are :
https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/network/members
I was thinking perhaps someone else is also busy with adding themes that are not yet pushed into the original es-theme-carbon branch.
So I scraped all es-theme-carbon forks for the systems you put in post 1.
I made a text file called search_systems adding all the systems like this :

all_in1
classich
jakks
... etc
(add one space extra otherwise the last system isn't used in the search)

Now I used this line to check all the forks for files that we can use without having to make them for ourselves :

cat search_systems|while read search;do curl -s https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/network/members | grep '<a class="" href="' | grep "es-theme-carbon" | cut -d '"' -f 4 | while read fork; do curl -s https://github.com/$fork|while read line;do [[ -n $(grep "\"$search\"") ]] && echo "https://github.com$fork contains $search";done;done;done

These were the useful lines showing that danyboy666 i quite busy without pushing his themes to the original branch.
So we can use these parts now, if we want.
https://github.com/danyboy666/es-theme-carbon contains advision
https://github.com/danyboy666/es-theme-carbon contains gp32
https://github.com/danyboy666/es-theme-carbon contains arcadia
https://github.com/danyboy666/es-theme-carbon contains cdimono1

For the logos, you can get mine if you want and use them for Carbon. Some of them are in png format and not in svg format. It could be a problem if they are not converted.

Folly

@dteam

Good idea !

Perhaps I can convert them easily.

Folly

@dteam

Used your .png's for jakks converting them to .svg's.
I am getting a better at it.

Folly

@dteam

Aha, I see some first steps in GITHUB 👍
Again another STAR , Thanks 😊

I hope you will get some grip on github.
At first it looks quite intimidating, but you will get the hang of it once you use it more.

If you need some help, just ask.

@mrseven
Thanks !!!

MrSeven

@dteam No problem. I'll do some more as I find some time.

@dteam @MrSeven

Great work !

What theme do we have to use to get this ?

Right now, they are not in a theme. I'm making them in the style of the comic book theme though.
Head over to this thread and towards the bottom you will find a bunch that I made for that theme.
I'm probably going to start a page for them as I have over 40 completed so far. A lot that I haven't posted yet. Stay tuned.

I just renamed my carbon theme to :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/es-theme-mamedev-carbon

Just to see if this is a good idea.
That way we can just add such a theme into the estheme.sh* without conflicting with others with the same theme name.
(/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/estheme.sh)

Like this :

....
local themes=(
        'FollyMaddy mamedev-carbon'
        'RetroPie carbon'
        'RetroPie carbon-centered'
....

We could do the same with other themes that we want especially for the "lr-mess/MAME development", like the comic-book theme or the cygnus-modyfied.

Then they also stand out because mamedev-<theme> implies that these themes are also constructed for lr-mess/MAME systems.

What do you think ?

Just a few. I have about 15 from your list already done.

WoW ;-)
