Unfortunately I have a large list of ROMs that are not running on the Pie. Is it possible to add a Bezel/Border to the screen saver mode on retropie I have bezels for each game installed, but when the screen savers come on the black bars are on the sides and id prefer to not have to stretch the videos to get rid of them. Shame really, because I'd love to be able to see the names of the games during the screensaver with OMX.

That's been happening to every image I've made on a completely new install, so clearly it's a bug. OpenEmu is about to change the world of video game emulation Con RetroPie potrai rivivere i migliori videogiochi di un tempo Each system in EmulationStation is defined in the file essystems Every Day new 3D Models from all over the World Retropie roms full collection of games The First Collection gamegear, gameboy, gameboy color, game boy.

So create an empty file /home/pi/video.txt (run touch /home/pi/video. I've found that if you use the screensaver video captions with the OMX player, the video will display for a split second, then go black. Equipping with HDMI & Earphone Jack & 2x Micro USB port support. I've dug up the old video screensaver thread - which you probably read - and the advice there is to create a dummy file and attach the video to it. Enjoy the same experience on all supported devices.

Update: If don't see the code above in the file, then simply copy and paste what is shown in this answer at the bottom of that file. I can see the game on the retropie menu and start it ok. To edit the configuration file and make sure it contains: Section "Device"Ĭhange the Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" line to Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" if you want the xdisplay on the PiTFT or fb1 to fb0 for HDMI output. Sometimes you’ll find your custom video won’t play during the load screen. Make sure the file you’ve chosen is working properly and meets the file specifications outlined above. Another common cause for no display is file corruption. Will use the HDMI/TV framebuffer for X windows instead of the PiTFT Make sure the RetroPie is set to use a splash screen. In older Pi installs, use the fb0 framebuffer when you want to display stuff on the HDMI/TV display, for example: Initial run: SWAP VIDEO AFTER: 30s STRETCH VIDEO ON SCREENSAVER: OFF OMX PLAYER FOR. Maybe it is the same across the builds but I figure I won't know until I ask. I'm using a Pi 3B however and this used to always work. Then, I came across this information, which worked for me. OK so after multiple searches I found that a Pi 4 has issues with OMX Player and TITLE displays in the screen saver.

Once I figured out how to get my pitft display to work with Raspberry PI, I could not get Raspberry PI to switch over to HDMI output no matter what I did. I know I can disable audio entirely through the audio menu, but I would just like to turn it down. I found Jrassa's version which has the video screensavers working. I am running Raspberry PI 2 Model B with 2.8 PiTFT capactive display. I am working with a windows version of Emulation Station. Although this question is very old, I would like to post my answer that I found recently.
