Installing a ES theme not from default list
-
@liquidzoo it was something that was changed in the last year and there are lots of configs. Hard to keep track of them all :) lots of ways to do things on retropie
-
Great! Thanks for the prompt and succinct help :)
I tried adding the folder using Filezilla but kept getting permission denied so think I'll just take the SD card and sort it out that way. -
Hi guys - been hitting some walls with this as I can't seem to access the necessary folders using filezilla. Any tips?
-
@sphirst Are you able to access any files via samba?
-
I must confess I think Samba is a little beyond my expertise - will look in to it now but before I was using a ftp client with a GUI to access things on my pi - but certain files on that became inaccessible...
-
@sphirst Certain files are already pre-configured to be shared via samba. Are you using a Windows PC? If so, just open any search bar and type
\\RETROPIE -
Ah yes, this is how I access my roms and gamelist.
Accessing RETROPIE via my networks allows me to see four folders:
bios
configs
roms
splashscreens -
@sphirst Okay, good. Go to
configs>all>emulationstation>themesand you'll be good. If you don't have athemesdirectory (folder) just create one and put it in there. Reboot and it will be an option to choose from within the ES menu. -
Alex, as always, you're a saviour! I got it working exactly the way you described and am using the CRT theme with my video previews. All working fantastically!

Your patience with me goes a long way - sometimes people don't have the time to explain in simple terms to someone a little technically challenged like myself.
