Help / Background starting a game
« Last post by sonkers on August 02, 2024, 12:22:41 PM »
Hi!

Is there any way when I select a game and I want to put something in front while the game starts in the background?
Example:

I want to put an image when the game starts while this image stays for like 5 seconds, meanwhile in the background the rom starts like rocket launch

tks.

Many of the themes on the website are outdated, and haven't been tested with the latest versions of RetroFE. If you can post the entire log.txt I'm willing to have a look for you. I assume you've made changes to the default download though?

I've always used gdb myself.

The trigger is collections/MAME/system_artwork/video.mp4, but I'm no closer to understanding why. It plays fine in vlc. Nothing shown in that video is a game that is installed here so I'm just going to delete the file for now.

Did some manual cleaning and finally got symbols. It's choking in Page.cpp trying to iterate menus. Maybe now I can finally get somewhere.

I'm about at my wit's end here. No matter how I build it the retrofe executable does not contain debug symbols according to gdb - though it does say "not stripped".
You know, I suspect that --clean-first isn't really cleaning, since some of the timestamps in RetroFE/Build/CMakeFiles/retrofe.dir are hours too old. link.txt is not showing the -ggdb argument.
I need the --I-said-CLEAN-damn-it argument.

segfault with either core or core 1.4.

With the source and vscode/gdb I can see there is an exception but not what it is. (after mogrifying the .png files in Ergo Proxy)
Call stack attached, hopefully. But it's in gstreamer video land.

How are people debugging RetroFE on Linux? gdb? vscode? Something else?

I tried Ergo Proxy. First it logged a bunch of errors and exited.
Code: [Select]
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profileAfter a short web search I installed imageMagick and used mogrify to remove the incorrect profiles.
Now, it draws a green outline box in the middle of the screen and then immediately exits with a segmentation fault. This time there are no ERRORs in the log file.
Code: [Select]

Aside: in both of these layouts, in splash.xml, do we not want the logo comment closed earlier, perhaps right after the image element? It looks like it's commenting out everything through statusText.
