Nice to know. I thought that the resistor had to be a specific value to work.

Ill try this as soon as posible :)

One thing Im still worried about is the code described on the later pages. Is it plug and play or do i have to rewrite parts og it?

My knowledge on code is very basic and i usually just copy and paste what i need. I have only tried to tweek the layout in the different emulators.

Thanks for the reply. No im not on 3.0. I have been playing around with some files but havent found any way to get the controller to work. The emulator does not see the controller at all. I have been thinking about just deleting the n64 Roms and foget about it..

[gentlemanfinn]

anyone who can help?

[gentlemanfinn]

I removed everything exept the cover picture.. What i did was to go inside every emulators theme file and replase the y value with 2.. I really dont know where i sent it, but it is not showing anywhere on my screen anymore :)

[gentlemanfinn]

Everything worked as i wanted. Tanks again!

[gentlemanfinn]

Ill look in to that later today. Thanks:)

I dont see how it is connected to my questions.. Would it be posible for you to ask this in another topic?

[gentlemanfinn]

I have browsed the website you mentioned and have found it to be usefull. I havent downloaded anything yet, but it is looking promising :)

If i ever find a way to do the music i would be very pleased..

Hey everybody I have some good news!

I have found what I was looking for..

In the pictures you can see where im going. By mistake I maneged to remove the gametitles, but i have afterwards restored them (the grey box is just big enough to have the games title and the highlightbox inside). As you can see i am missing the footer, but that have been restored too.

The picture of zelda is just one i have found for this experiment.

This is rough and far from done, but what do you think?

[gentlemanfinn]

I have maneged to replace the images using method 1, but the i get an error when closing emulationstation. It is something like “lvl10 cant save to gamelist.xml…”
when trying this method I didnt alter the path to the images, but instead just overwote the existing image in the download folder.

When I try to use method 2 the pictures isent showing, but the interfase acts like they are there..

Edit: Did a new scrape and used method 1. I have now replaced most og my snes covers with higher resolution images and am happy with this solution.

I have a new question:

Is it posible to replace the grey background when browsing games in an emulator with an image?

[gentlemanfinn]

I own Photoshop. It shouldent be a problem:)

I have startet experimenting and hope for the best. Right now i am using a with og 700px. It may be to large but then i can just try a smaller size.

Thanks for all the help:)

[gentlemanfinn]

You was quicker than my edit! Thanks. That is much better then what i had in mind. I like how you can personalize the experince on the pi!

By the way when i searched the forum I found a video that said the pi cant handle too large picrures.. I have a pi 2 – is it better suited to handle the larger pictures?

Edit: I am the king og edits btw :)

How do i get rid og the old scraping files? Is it just to delete some files or do the manual scraping take control?

[gentlemanfinn]

I would love to scarpe my own images.. I dont understand how I do it tho.

By the way I am probably not going to use covers, but .PNG files of ingame stuff.

Would it be posible to guide me through the process?

Edit: I used my brain and searched the forum. I think I can do what i want now thanks!

Now to solve the music dilemma :9

[gentlemanfinn]

This may be a stupid question, but did you chance the ram size?

[gentlemanfinn]

I actually like it better as it is now. I have maneged to make the pictures bigger. I have also played around with the console titles.. Instead og having the logo AND the name og the console in the top I have moved the logo in to the middle :)

[gentlemanfinn]

Hey. Just registered to write here.. I copypasted your work over and everything seemed right, but i noticed that the games infotext is still showing in the options bar at the botten. What i am trying to say is that the text is the right coller, but it is showing in the lighter optionsbar at the bottom.

Do you know how to fix this? I imagine that it is a question about the placement of the text.

Ps. I did this for other emulators and found it worked all around. I just had to change the emulator names in the last lage text.

Edit: I have found a solution, but it is not perfect..

In

/etc/emulationstation/themes/simple/simple.xml

I have changed the “footer” from true to false:

<image name=”footer” extra=”false”>
<pos>0 1</pos>
<origin>0 1</origin>
<size>1 0.065</size>
<path>./art/bright.png</path>

i can still see the “press that to do that”, but i just dont have the lighter coller in the bottom anymore.
