As in, if I just downloaded the box art as a .jpg or something, how would I have PiPlay show that? Is the scraper placing those images somewhere that I can access?

Mark thanks for all your help! This theme is coming along nicely. I'll post it as soon as it's done.

Well I only own a few games. I'll give it a shot later and see what happens. If I wanted to just set them myself, what would I do?

2 other things: 1) What if I wanted to have a different looking rom list for different emulators? Would that require creating a rom list config for each emulator, and then having the config.yaml call that rom list config when that emulator is select…

All of that worked flawlessly. Item height was just half of 1080. Now, on to the rom list. First question: how do I get the scraper to work? :)

What if the Nintendo section in the lower middle part is just a logo? So on the bottom row only the Gameboy and Shutdown icons work. I could always add something on that Nintendo icon, like a history thing.

Sorry, should have been more clear. As the themes sit now, the list includes every game ever made. I want it to show only the games I have roms for. I already eliminated the emulators I don't use. Also, how would I move the icons around on the…

Awesome! Thanks! How do I tell it to only show the roms I have in the list? Not the full list?

This may be a dumb question, but how do I actually activate the Tron theme?

I second that thought! I bought a Pi just for PiPlay. Copying the above folder worked fine. Now to start tweaking! :) Thanks again guys!

Wow! This is great, and the exact info I was looking for. Stupid question maybe, but if I just replace my pimame_menu folder with yours, should I expect it to run correctly? I saw the pictures of your build. It was VERY impressive! I am sure you b…

[SOLVED] Gamestop Controller Not Working
Lol just sort of spewing this out as it comes to me. So the controller works in game! YAY! Batman never felt so good. So only two things left to solve for the Gamestop controller: 1) Sporadic menu operation. Not sure how to change this but it'…

[SOLVED] Gamestop Controller Not Working
I decided to go by device ID instead of BUS:DEV because I realized BUS:DEV might change based on where the controller was plugged in. So now I can use the following to get the controller to initialize in the first player spot. sudo xboxdrv --device…

[SOLVED] Gamestop Controller Not Working
Tried a few more things: Xboxdrv can set a specific device based on BUS:DEV using: sudo xboxdrv --device-by-path BUS:DEV --type xbox360 So I used lsusb to figure out which BUS and DEV number my controller was using. Strangely the controller was li…

[SOLVED] Gamestop Controller Not Working
But i know it is working because I get sporadic input at the menu. The green selector jumps around when I touch the joystick.

[SOLVED] Gamestop Controller Not Working
It says "No Xbox or xbox360 controller found" Piplay has never been able to detect my controller. Not sure why? The light just keeps blinking.

Gamestop Wired Xbox360 Controller Issue
Yes. xboxdrv allows you to specify which one. The Gamestop controller is listed as supported for xboxdrv. I have the controller and I am using PiPlay 8 b3. Same issues.

Gamestop Wired Xbox360 Controller Issue
There must be some subtle difference in the two brands. I tried this as well and got nowhere. And I have mine plugged into the pi directly.
