Updated EmulationStation for Windows

I don't have the problem. Content display depends on the value of the option "show folders".

I will check again, didn't find it the first time. Maybe I'm just blind :P

What ? I don't understand your point. Be more precise.

Just like the current system carousel, but it's more an images gallery (for systems list) : we provide a folder full of pictures (screenshots, boxes or support), the carousel displays images randomly and switch automatically.

That's an example, it's may be too complicated this way. A simple change of image can do the job too.

If I understand well, it already exists. Look at the "carousel" view in my fork of the carbon theme on my git.

@f-caruso Hi,

I took a look at your theme, but unless I'm mistaken, it's not quite the same. Here's a screenshot of my theme : link

As you can see, there's a "list" of GD-roms, but it's static (it's integrated into the png background). In a general way, I find the system list too static in ES, a small dynamic images gallery can change that :)
(or even video(s), why not)

But, it's still a suggestion of course.

Oh, ok... You can also (almost) do it , using random playlist, see my theme (smallbox.xml or smallscreen.xml). Images are static but they change everytime.
Et sinon tu serais pas francais par hasard ?

@f-caruso
I did a few tests, and I think it could get the job done.
However, I have a few questions :

Can we use a folder path for {random:} ? Or what game properties can be used ? I tried to add some properties in my gamelist, but I doesn't work.
I saw a delay property for videos, can we use a similar property for images ?

(Suisse, mais je parle français ;-)

Hello, how are you? I wanted to ask you if you have any idea how, from the es_input.cfg file, to be able to transcribe the different emulators other than those of Retroarch. Because for example Cemu or PCSX2 have an INI file but the values that go in the X and Y do not understand how to transcribe them. Do you know anything about the subject? Would you have an email where you can conttact you for these matters? Thank you!

f.caruso

@dukeblooders

Can we use a folder path for {random:} ? Or what game properties can be used ? I tried to add some properties in my gamelist, but I doesn't work.

No {random:image}, {random:thumbnail}, {random:marquee} only. It takes random scrapped resources only.

I saw a delay property for videos, can we use a similar property for images ?

No...

@maxiducoli

No. I tried to do that in a CEmu launcher written in c#.
But it's complex code, and it's very far from perfect.
I didn't try with pcsx2.

Also, you can find me on discord. The easiest one is Batocera's Discord...

maxiducoli

@f-caruso
In Pcsx2 Just copy a already configured xnput INI and works perfecto. The problem is dinput, cause change on diferents controllers

dukeblooders

@f-caruso
OK I managed to make it work, thanks.

maxiducoli

@f-caruso

Can you send me the source code of Cemu Launcher and maybe i could help or do some executable for ous.
i have Discord but i dont know how to use jja my user is maxiducoli too.

I see PCSX2 source and have a plugin named OnePAD. This plugin use gamecontrollerdb.txt and is like joysticks out the box of batocera or autoconfig of RetroArch. Can you compile this source for windows? Just the DLL. I can´t undertand too much of C++ and my HDD its only os 160GB and Visual Studio is too large for all my programs + Visual Studio Community. I can´t install for now.

See that.

@maxiducoli
What do you want me to do with all this ? It's not really related to ES.
Plus, it's not the good place for that kind of exchanges. Find me on Discord.
I can't see you on any server I'm in. Please, name servers you are in so I can find you.

porterballs

@f-caruso hi was just wondering if you will update the gamesdb scraper at some point, I want to use your screenscraper one but I cant choose to have only 2d boxes! Thanks

f.caruso

@porterballs said in Updated EmulationStation for Windows:

gamesdb

Done + Added ability to use Box as image for screenscraper. You can download the latest version.

porterballs

@f-caruso thank you much appreciated :)

CarissaIsWierd

@f-caruso I had arrows before (see here) that now show as question marks after the 'Unicode Strings' update :/

f.caruso

@CarissaIsWierd The version of your theme I have does'nt have all these options, so I can't test what you did...
EDIT : Found & fixed

CarissaIsWierd

@f-caruso Did you do something to the way "folderImage" & "gameImage" are displayed in the past month? If you check my theme I shared with you, folders and games without images show up like this, when before they used minSize like games with images do. Do I need to add something different to fix it?

f.caruso

@CarissaIsWierd Check the new release it should solve your case.
