Help / Re: Display games naming
« on: January 14, 2023, 09:42:47 AM »
I'm pretty sure you're in the minority here where you want 300+ games starting with "The". Most people favor the dismissal of articles when sorting. But if you want it that way you can absolutely alter the xml to do that for your use.

That's not the issue, Agent47. What is requested here is for RetroFE to display the name as "The Adams Family", but for the ordering to put it under A.

I'm afraid not.  You could delete the XML file, (and the database file so it will regenerate without the XML file), and have it use the file name instead, but there's no option in the RetroFE program for doing this configurably at the moment.

Normally it orders alphabetically, but you could turn that off in the settings.conf file of the collection.

It either displays the file name or the corresponding description in the XML file. If there's an XML file for this system, just change it there.

No, I edit that one manually to add all the new information. That's why it always took so long to make them: I had to start each new game to determine what kind of game it was, and then edit the text.

Are you running a normal RetroFE installation or did you download one of those full builds from the internet? Some of them overwrite files or have additional tools installed that may catch those keys instead of sending them to RetroFE.

I'll give it some thought; I may do some programming again next month anyway, and this doesn't sound like a very complex feature to add.

I don't see anything obviously wrong here; can you also upload your controls.conf? I'll test it here to see if I get the same issue.

Wouldn't you want all art to have roughly the same size?

You need to add a fade out animation onMenuExit.

That's probably a feature wanted for more animations; I'll give it some thought.

General Discussion & Help / Re: linux executable??
« on: July 10, 2022, 09:49:16 AM »
Those are all INFO messages, and can safely be ignored. RetroFE is merely letting you know which files it looks for, and which files it could actually find (or not). Random crashes like this are usually caused by problems with the gstreamer library, but you can easily check that by turning off the videos, and see if that solves your issue. Not all platforms have stable SDL and gstreamer libraries I'm afraid.

With regards to the Pi4, perhaps you should have a chat with the people who created the images for CoinOPS. They may have some useful information for you in that regard. I stepped out after the Pi3, and only run Linux on my PC platforms (cocktail arcade and laptop) I'm afraid, so I don't have a lot of experience with Linux on other platforms.

The latest executable was made on Kubuntu 22.04. Self compile is generally the way to go in these matters though; it provides you with an executable most suitable for your own system.

I don't keep particular source code releases, but if it's still on github you can get it from there. I switched from bitbucket to github at some point in the past, and I'm not sure at what version that was. I cannot get my older sources from bitbucket anymore, unfortunately.
