@Lyle_JP, @obsidianspider: Ahh, so both a cultural and age gap thing then. Good to know. Cheers.

@Rascas said in New 4.1.20 RetroPie images for testing:

@BuZz Not in the repos (packaged), only if you are using rpi-update ;) And using rpi-update is generally considered unstable. But that shouldn't be a problem, although I didn't test it with emulators. I just wanted to know if you did this to include/fix some gamepad driver or something like it. And thanks for your work :D

The image is built based on the last Raspbian Lite image, so I may have just imagined being on 4.9 on another system I was testing. My bad - certainly no rpi-update is run anyway.

[edit] unless the last raspbian lite has an unpackaged newer kernel - which could be possible since they pushed out a quick zero w fix

[edit] nope, it's just my memory - images are definitely 4.4.50 as has been mentioned. will edit first post.

Downloaded the new image, went to install the Virtualboy emulator.... but can't seem to find it anywhere.

Ability to set custom ES themes in configs/all/platforms.cfg (can any setting in RetroPie-Setup/platforms.cfg).

What does this mean? I must have missed this development.

@AlexMurphy Yea I actually tend to agree.. but I wasn't aware that ES was being worked on again. Who can we talk to about getting the kiosk/child mode fork merged in with the newest? I really rely on that more than anything but it has the issue with subfolders still which is a killer.

Also thank you @BuZz and others for keeping RetroPie going great! Just sent a donation. I have started an arcade cabinet side job on etsy and I've customized retro pi for it, so I will be making a donation for each unit I sell. Keep up the good work (and please find someone to get kiosk mode into the core ES :P)

Good job !!!
But i tried to connect to my pi Zero W in SSH with Putty and he say "my network connection isn't established."
I can download update, my wifi connection is correct, ping also, samba work arlready, ...
No problem with other devices (PI2 and PI3)

BuZz

@figolu31 did you read my post? I detail SSH.

Please do not post on this thread for help - this is a thread for testing before release. If you need help you should not be using this image.

Where did you look?

I'm primarily after testing feedback rather than this being a support thread. If you are saying it's missing, I'll take a look.

DigitalMonkey

@figolu31 Its missing. I looked in all the different packages sections (main, experimental etc)

Can't find it at all.

Also: Excuse my noobness etc - downloaded/installed this image but my version says 4.1.19. Is that normal?

It's under optional packages as lr-beetle-vb for rpi2/rpi3 users (not available for rpi1/zero - I've just changed the code so it is, but it probably won't be playable on an armv6 based device).

You can ignore that, it's just because I didn't commit the version bump before I started building.

Friend could you add a favorites system to the official standard emulationsystion? I really want to see my favorite games at the top with not having the extra ES kids and kiosk features plus the mode switcher

InsecureSpike

thank you Buzz and everyone, i'm very pleased to see Attract-Mode still being supported, thanks

BuZz

@sergioad this is not the place for feature requests. There are already threads regarding favourites

sergioad

@BuZz ok, did you saw my new wiki page? I hope you like it 😀 talking about the new version I like the changes

Apologies for my request friend

@AlexMurphy Who is working on ES now? Looks like Aloshi is gone, but there are hundreds of forks.. which is being used in RPi?

AlexMurphy

@dsstrainer Various forks and changes are being developed by members of this forum. Hopefully some of that will be merged into ES. Or RetroPie will use its' own fork.

BuZz

@dsstrainer Our fork is here - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

Please can we get this back on topic. If you have something to say that is not related to testing the new images, please start a new thread.

Seems so far the only use of this topic has been for people to ask support questions, which was not the intention.

AlexMurphy

@BuZz Sorry.
