Announcing Pegasus Frontend

shantigilbert

@fluffypillow THANK YOU! after a week of strugglin it FINALLY WORKS!!! it does not have video yet, but thats because I need gstreamer, but at least I can see the FE :D

there is one small problem, not sure if its related to gstreamer, or if I should update my gamelist.xml. but no images show, I can see all the logos for the systems and names and information of all the games, but no images :( (btw the svg for famicom is missing)

But I really love how fast it loaded!

Edit: I should REALLY start reading all of the posts in this thread before asking questions xD

Does the alpha actually launch games?

shantigilbert

@lilbud it does for me, I am using the gamelist.xml from ES and other than what I said about the images, it works perfectly fine.

edit: but it crashes after a bit.

Executing command: /usr/bin/retroarch -L /tmp/cores/fbalpha_libretro.so /storage/roms/neogeo/aof.zip
Process 3145 started
QProcess: Destroyed while process ("/usr/bin/retroarch") is still running.

@fluffypillow I like the idea of asynchronous operation and would be pretty easy to implement from my side, but synchronous may be helpful for manual scraping. When I get some time, I may write up what that API could potentially be.

I've collected the weekly status reports and some info links in the first post.

@fluffypillow I've compiled the latest version, but I can't seem to get the settings panel to open, I've tried every button on my gamepad and on my keyboard but no luck, how to I open it ??

There's no settings menu yet, it's just a button :)

@CodeDrawer To quote Robin Williams

Could be tomorrow, could be 10,000 years from now

CodeDrawer

@lilbud I like that quote.

A Former User

So do I.

CodeDrawer

@itsnitro so is this a theme, or a whole new front end?

lilbud

@CodeDrawer Completely new frontend that will finally nail the coffin on EmulationStation

CodeDrawer

Nice! @lilbud that probably will win!

A Former User

Emulation Station is dead.

CodeDrawer

@itsnitro Really? Why?

A Former User

well, not dead, but RetroPie is going to because 1. We've got Pegasus. 2. PEGASUS

CodeDrawer

So how do I put pony on my retropie?

A Former User

You're gonna have to ask @fluffypillow for that cause I know nothing about that.
