New Comic Book Theme!

So, my workaround is just adding the title of game, Some Game (1988) and a blank line in the description ( <desc> in the gamelist.XML) which at least gives more reading time.

I once made a one-liner for RetroPie's command shell that adds x number of lines at the beginning or end of each game's description of a given system.

@Clyde Yes, I read your post with the added lines script. I wondered if the scroll box would include those lines as part of its line count? If so, it's not so useful yet to me, as I'm already short of lines for description.

[smartgenes]

@Lolonois That's a great idea, for sure I would upvote a way to move up and down the text box. Only some clowns downvoted my posts so I need three up votes to be able to vote again.

Any idea what is controlling the box's line limit? I can't see why it would need any limit at all.

[Clyde]

@smartgenes Alas, I don't know if the limit applies to the lines or characters of the description, i.e. if /n counts as only one or two characters or a line.

But you can test that easily by just adding 10 /n or so and see where the text stops being displayed compared to no empty lines.

@Clyde @Lolonois I've just noticed that if you switch to another console and back, then the scrolling text box doesn't reset - it continues from where it last was. So you can read the rest of the text. So emulationstation is "seeing" all the text but arbitrarily stops it after some count. So it should be changeable somehow.

Hmm. No. But you can try Ctrl-t when EmulationStation is started with the --debug flag. Maybe it shows a hint why the bounding text box does not show all of the text.

I don't assume it is related to this issue FYI.

Anybody got a "PC-FX" logo?

So lately I've been loving this theme and I've been making stuff but I can't make my own text? I know you can use PS but I don't have it so is there any way to make it in Paint.net?

I just finished making a switch theme for it I think it came out pretty nice!

The backround is low res because of the file limit too so.

Hi, I have a Retropie.

1. Can i put in a request for an Apple 2G theme/art?

2. I also have duplicate entries in my menu for sega genesis and the sega megadrive. I know they are the same -usa version and japan, but I'd like just the sega genesis menu and not the other. A way to do this?

Be well.
