Announcing Pegasus Frontend

@fluffypillow it is a 64bit, but I am using an arm 32bit arch to compile it.

I will wait for 5.9 and see if there is better luck :D thanks!

So other than the wiki/documentation, I was also working on the gamepad config screen this week:

@fluffypillow technically the shoulder is the closest one and the trigger is the one toward the back so on the diagram they should be switched but otherwise looks good

I am so used to SNES controllers lately, seeing ABXY in that format threw me off initially.

@LiveFastCyYoung I'm thinking about adding an AB <-> BA switch option, and also a PS-style layout too.

Pegasus looks awesome!
Brilliant work..

And now for the most annoying question, that you KNEW was coming: what's the ETA on non-developers installing and using this on our RetroPies? :-)

fluffypillow

Hm I guess it'd be about time to release an alpha2. I'll finish the gamepad config screen, rebuild everything with Qt 5.9, write a basic user manual, create release packages, so... maybe the weekend/next week? (unless something comes up or takes more time than expected)

It won't be complete yet though; for the beta release, I want to add user theme support, a custom metadata format (to not depend on ES), script support, a nice icon/logo, some help texts (eg. "you don't have any games"), retropie install script, maybe steam support, and also write a theming tutorial.

script support

😍

Man, I really appreciate your hardwork. And it's incredible that you're doing that alone.

I humbly would like to ask you to consider making an On Screen Keyboard, you can put this task at the bottom of your ToDo list...

Happy Birthday @meleu !!! Hope you had a great birthday!

AlexMurphy

@lilbud I'm sorry....

meleu

Hey guys, thank you so much for the good vibes, I'm finally in version 3.6. :-)

But I'm afraid we are messing the @fluffypillow 's thread! Let's get back on topic. ;-)

AlexMurphy

@meleu Twenty one again! Go straight to gaol.. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200 whatever../.?~

Aw man, I'm stuck in version 1.6

A Former User

I'm stuck in 1.4.

@fluffypillow I don't know what all that means, but I sure am excited to get this installed on my Pie. What about all the artwork scraping ? Your video shows beautiful artwork images and fast scrolling, I guess Pegasus pushes the limit of which size images you can use? But how did you scrape, is it going to be a feature that's built in, or is it manually finding artwork on google for starters..?
