General Discussion & Help / Re: video in menu

For system_artwork usage, name your mp4 as video.mp4 or if calling from the layout\collections folder, use the correct mode argument (mode="system" / "layout" etc)

Legend. Setting numscreens to 2 but setting the second screen to a number outside of 1 like 2 or 3 works. Retrofe is opening every time I run it. Thanks for your help Jonah.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation and glad its working for you.

FYI: Looks like it’s still happening. It’s only when you set settings.conf to use only one monitor but you have two connected. If you allow retrofe to use both monitors, even without a layout for the 2nd it works fine. I’ve only learnt of it now as I’ve just started using 2 monitors as I like to keep one up for browsing, but have my main monitor running retrofe.

See my post above, if you want to continue using the second monitor outside of RetroFE then set "screenNum1 = 1" to be a value higher than your max screens (something like "screenNum1 = 2" would send the output to a non-existent screen (0 is screen 1, 1 is screen 2 etc)). You can have higher than connected but not lower.

numscreens is for physical screens connected, not for how many screens you want to use.

May work, may not.

Log shows 2 monitors detected (physical) but only 1 requested (as the settings.conf is set to 1)

Change the settings.conf accordingly.

Code: [Select]
numScreens             = 2
screenNum0             = 0
screenNum1             = 1

fullscreen0            = no
horizontal0            = stretch
vertical0              = stretch

fullscreen1            = no
horizontal1            = stretch
vertical1              = stretch
You use a different build than I do but the process is still the same,

This isn't a retrofe code problem its avi video problem,
There will be a bad video in your big video build.
I've added 100+ systems since using rfe and never had a crash from a video all mp4 and all under 100mb.

I've never used avi in any build and had crashes with the newer libraries (1.18.3) yet under the old libraries (1.4) no such crashes occur.

In addition to the code changes, attached is a modified version of the Worlds theme with minimal usage of large sized (size on screen not file size) pictures.
As mentioned before large pictures are the primary cause of high GPU usage.
Just make a backup of your layouts/Worlds folder and extract the zip on top of it.
In the layout.xml file you can find my comments regarding what does what.

I've also derived a theme from this for the Arcade1UP cab (5:4 ratio) if anyone is interested.

Good job :)

Due to recent events, I can't help you any further, sorry.
You need to read the wiki further as it is explained on there, good luck.

@mikomi

Very similar to me and its a good way to work.
Also, using data sets and variables is an excellent way to cut down on any repetitive creation of images that use a text overlay such as those used for year and genre etc.

Unfortunately not, there is no drag and drop solution to making themes.
As for your other points, Pieter can confirm if those will happen or ask in the feature request/suggestions thread.

Some of these may need updating as they are from a while ago.

I love this theme, i hope soon can you upload this new mod to add collections

 :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thank you for the interest. The mod was completed a while ago and evolved to follow even more iGarikoitz's original vision and design as intended. Sadly I must tell you that there will be no release of it, for the moment, because of how some people decided to behave, unsurprisingly, when I started sharing here prints and work in progress. Their prerogative. I have no affiliation with them and don't want to have.

PS/quick edit: Just in case that wasn't clear, the mod has a completely different structure compared to the original theme or certain stuff out there.

This is such a shame. I hope you will reconsider?
