RetroFE forums

I don't know what to say, I was cleaning out my email and came across an email from retrofe from 2017 so two years since I have been here.

I thought that I would see what has happened, and I am BLOWN AWAY by seeing this skin. BLOWN AWAY.

I really am stunned for words, so I shall have a look at your tube videos.

*** Update ***

Just to ask, you have place holders for images, is it at all possible to have video playing or does it look too small?

One thing I will say about this, in the top left it says retrofe information, will this be changeable or can it be system specific?

The other is that this seems to be just one page not including the game information? Is this skin aimed at quality rather than quantity?

Surely you can use a controller to navigate on RetroFe? You would not need a mouse to be displayed then, could just use the controller, indeed the keyboard for navigation?

Yeah, I did ask a while back, but he said that the 4:3 is not almost ready properly. Life apparently, when he should be busy skinning lol

I just love this skin though, the 60 in 1 cabinet, all this rubbish about oh namco made this in 1975 and it was designed by, it does not interest me so much.


It is just too geeky, and although I don't really play games any more, not in the sense that I did, but I want to collect because I can, one game I completed thanks to infinite credits R-Type.

Always so close but not enough 10'ps to feed it. I was disappointed that it was shorter than expected.

One good thing about an HTPC though, compared to a dedicated arcade machine, you do not want the rubbish games, space is more limited.

Anyway I am waffling, but 3am and can't sleep lol

I just tried the arguments, that was on the Wiki page for arch. I did a search here on how to get arch to work, but was very little info. At the moment I have my first system almost up and running, but all comes down to trial and error, you edit one file, but then you have to edit another, and another.

Sadly this is not as user-friendly, as some, it is more aimed at the higher food chain, than people who got puters for Christmas. The closest that I get to Linux, is Linus, my X key is worn out now, why p tube comes in handy.

If it was not for two skins, then I would not even have tried this really, it reasonably is not cab friendly, most of the skins are more for HTPC in my eyes, I am still patiently waiting for one lovely mod, to turn one skin into 4:3 no names mentioned, but you know whom you are

Anyway, this was aimed at the novice, so I do apologize if the arguments, was not up to spec. Once I get more accustomed with the software, then I shall try to do better.

If like me, you wish to use RetroArch instead of MAME for launching games, I tried looking through the forum and could not really find anything conclusive on how to do so. However, I now have the Nintendo NES working, so once I get more systems added then I shall add to this. Please note that you have to have the cores installed to make things work.

PLEASE NOTE : I AM USING WINDOWS ONLY AND CANNOT COMMENT REGARDING LINUX

Nintendo Entertainment System (Text in red means that you might need to change to your file directory)
---------------------------------
executable = E:\Emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = retroarch -L E:\Emulators\RetroArch\cores\nestopia_libretro.dll "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

I hope this helps someone, I shall add to this slowly as I get bored after a while and then work on other things.

Infact saying that the chances are that all systems will work, as long as you just change the nestopia_libretro.dll to suit whatever emulator you need such as snes_libretro.dll for example

Thank you for the offer, but I think it is just one folder that is affected which is the system_artwork folder, I can find files for that, and Ryuuji has posted the story for me, so I can sort that folder out and it should work.

It is just weird how that was the only one I have had problems with and all the rest were fine, but you have downloaded and all good your end.

Thanks for all the help anyway, I am still pretty much nowhere but I shall probably take the rest of this week, trying to get the systems online.
