Something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB2Cc4b3HXs
Or even the default theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55DOOFL80v0
ryuuji's theme is good also. If someone wanted to modify this for me to look more like the videos above. Text based GameList with Boxart and Video/Screenshot only.
This is for my Uncle. He could care less about media and he is not that computer savvy. He is also a PS4 user so the XMB style will be familiar to him. I don't need any images or anything just the basic layout. I would do this myself if I had time. Between work, school, and kids I have very little time left for making themes. I would appreciate any help on this. Like I said I can donate a bit of money, or bitcoin, or if an app is needed to help out with RetroFE, etc.. If anyone wanted to do it out of the kindness of their heart that would be cool too.

I would be willing to donate some funds to anyone willing to make a theme that resembles the Retroarch XMB. I can do this myself but I don't like RetroFE's theming system. I hate xml and I don't like having to continuously start the FE to view changes. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the way it is, I just don't like it personally.

General Discussion & Help / layout menuIndex problem
« on: September 02, 2017, 02:48:21 AM »
Using the latest version of RetroFE I can't get menuIndex=">1" to work. All other values for menuIndex are working fine for me except the greater than or less than values.

General Discussion & Help / Re: Open Citra fullscreen/maximized
« on: July 07, 2017, 07:28:37 PM »
Sorry such a late reply. I can't run Citra on this PC (Crappy integrated Intel Graphics), so it's terribly hard to write a script for it. I can however translate a rocketlauncher module to a basic script that you can use. I do however need to know what executable rocketlauncher uses to launch citra. "citra.exe" or "citra-qt.exe"?

General Discussion & Help / Re: Open Citra fullscreen/maximized
« on: July 04, 2017, 04:35:58 AM »Ohhh yes I don't know why I didn't think of using AHK. I made one recently to fullscreen Desmume:Code: [Select]#NoTrayIcon
#SingleInstance force
Loop
{
WinWaitActive, DeSmuME 0.9.12 git#1e96e73 x64-JIT SSE2
Send !{Enter}
WinWaitNotActive, DeSmuME 0.9.12 git#1e96e73 x64-JIT SSE2
{}
}
I think I could repurpose this for Citra, but there's no key combo that would make Citra fullscreen sadly. Do you know how I can replace the "Send !{Enter}" line so that it does the "Max" thing?
Thank you very much for the fast response also.
That's not exactly the best way to go about doing that, but if it works it works...
I just got around to downloading Citra. If you show me a copy of your Launcher (\RetroFE\launchers\Citra.conf) I can write a script for you.

Do you know how to use ahk (autohotkey)?
You could use something like this if so. Just compile the script and set it as the executable
If there is a key combo to make the emu fullscreen, ahk could do that on launch also. I do not have this emu myself, but if you need more help let me know and I will download it and make a working script. I do recommend you have a look at the autohotkey forums. Autohotkey is an amazing tool when it comes to emulation.

I'm sure you could find one. Though I don't think there is an official list. Seems like a PC Hyperlist is kind of subjective...

« on: June 21, 2017, 09:53:22 AM »
Hey Ripper I just got done downloading the TurboGrafx-CD set from PD. I noticed a few games that are missing. Bonk III for example. Is this on purpose? Also the SuperDat that is included in the torrent contains regions in the name and description fields but the roms themselves do not. Should I run them through clrmame and rename the roms or is this how things are supposed to be? Sorry for all the questions...

Glad to see you got your .bat file working. Here is ahk code in case you are curious.

mameEXE := A_ScriptDir "\mame64.exe" ;path to mame64.exe

try adding quotes like below
or try
Or you could just use your ahk script to launch mame. Compile the code and point your launcher to the ahk executable. Be sure to use
not
the latter will cause RetroFE to gain focus again because it will assume the ahk executable is the emulator and as soon as it closes RetroFE will gain focus leaving your game running in the background. The your launcher would be something like this
If you need help with the ahk code I can help you out. Just post your code
Code: [Select]
executable = emulators\MAME\mame64.bat
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"
or try

executable = emulators\MAME\mame64.bat
