emulationstation themes are setup to align by percent placement on a screen to account for various resolutions. So it should automatically align (not always perfectly but still functional)

Are you using HDMI or Component?

[quote=3805]How did you get the NES controller working? mine wont let me save the config because I don’t have enough buttons to set them all
[/quote]

which config? the input one for the emulators or the main one for emulation-station?

[roquen]

v64 files should be supported and recognized. Mine are, anyway. The only thing I can think is to make sure that the path in your es_systems file is the path that you’re putting the roms.

Default path is

~/RetroPie/ROMS/N64/

Do you have your controllers key bound to emulationstation ? You’ll need to have a menu button mapped in order to do this.

You can delete your input config file and remap with only the Controllers.

[roquen]

The emulationstation menu has “shutdown” as an option which executes a command to halt the system with the following command:
sudo shutdown -h now

[roquen]

or lightdm instead of lxdm

[roquen]

The easiest and safest route is to Use # to comment out the systems you don’t want displayed in the es_systems file .

[roquen]

If you run into this again do
sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm stop

[roquen]

^ what he said

Turn on the pi

Let emulation station do its booting

Go to menu then select exit

It will shutdown emulation station and take you to the console

At the console type

sudo raspi-config

It will open the config app and you'll select

Arrow to "expand file system"
Press TAB to get to yes/no options at the bottom

Save, reboot, done.

<gameImagePos>$infoWidth/2 0.18</gameImagePos>
This is the position x,y in percent

<gameImageDim>$infoWidth 0</gameImageDim>
This is the dimensions w, h (I think it’s w,h and not h,w)

<gameImageOrigin>0.5 0</gameImageOrigin>
This is the x,y placement of the center of the source image.

Make yourself a grid background and it makes finding your exact placements much easier. Once I get back to my dev computer I’ll post my theme building theme. I’m not good enough to just know mathematically how things layout so I have to make myself a cheat sheet.
