#EmulationStation

Have been hacking at #rocknix last week or so. Implemented a few bits mainly cleaning up the networking code but likewise have implemented comprehensive memory-management subsystem and tonight did the integration bits to expose it natively through #emulationstation #RetroGaming #handheld #linux

Still thinking about getting a new gaming handheld. I’m currently reevaluating my #RazerEdge. The biggest problem I have with it is the defective USB-C port.

I was playing Fire Emblem Engage on it the other day and it would randomly decide there is liquid or debris in the port and disable the controller. I then had to unplug it and replug it a couple times to get it to work again.

Despite that, I'm now setting up #EmulationStation on it for the first time. Trying to make it seem less like an Android device.

#Hello #saturday

My #RetroPi stopped working (haven't tried it for some time) after update to #bookworm...

I figured #EmulationStation does need some recompiling, for the new libraries...

Poor #RaspberryPi 4, has been going for 2 hours now...😅

can probably handle all the games, but I dislike the user experience of fiddling with all the different emulators, and their different settings, or faffing with launchers and front ends trying to locate all the right directories. I prefer an or frontend that just boots to a list of games. I'm sick of configuring inputs for every system I want to play. A handheld should be pick up and play.

I feel seen.

To explain a bit, #EmulationStation supports themes, and this one features noir/dark/or, hey, horror-themed images of the game systems it can emulate. They obviously did it just for me!

– C'est facile à installer un vieux jeu ?
– Oui de ouf tu veux que je te l'installe ? Ça va prendre 5 minutes.
*One eternity later…*

Télécharger Emulation Station et RetroArch, chercher pourquoi l'AppImage de ES s'ouvre pas dans Gearlever, trouver que la dernière version de Gearlever est cassée, chercher comment downgrader un flatpak, lancer ES, comprendre pourquoi il y a un message d'erreur au lancement du jeu, télécharger le cœur de l'emulateur qu'on veut dans RetroArch, configurer RetroArch pour qu'il se lance en plein écran avec une mise à l'échelle correcte, ajouter ES à Steam, comprendre pourquoi maintenant il se lance plus, chercher les logs, trouver le message d'erreur, Steam est installé en flatpak et on peut pas lancer d'AppImage dans un flatpak, laisser tomber l'ajout dans Steam, lancer ES depuis le menu démarrer, ça marche.

– C'est bizarre, elles sont un peu longues tes 5 minutes.

знайшов чудову статтю з налаштування RetroArch та EmulationStation (опційно). Звісно, стаття не розкриває всі-всі можливі налаштування, але принаймні пояснює структуру файлів налаштувать і те, як налаштування можуть бути перевизначені для окремих образів, директорій з образами або для всіх консолей, які використовують конкретний емулятор.

Захотілось встановити на десктоп якийсь фронтенд для retroarch, але було ліньки компілювати emulationstation від batocera або retropie, і тому вирішив спробувати emulationstation-de, який доступний для лінукс у вигляді AppImage. В цілому штука цікава, і досвід позитивний, але налаштування емуляторів спершу в retroarch вручну з вас він не знімає.

I've got all these games on my steam deck, but what do I end up playing? What's the one game that keeps me playing?

Tetris for the Gameboy.

A 30+ inch TV with a Steam Deck gaming device and a stuffed fox toy as well as a stuffed hamster toy to the right of the steam deck. On the TV there is Tetris for the Gameboy, a very old game.

There are still some kinks left to work out:

lets you swap the confirm button from B to A in , but it's still that way in and .

I'd like for it to auto save when I quit a game and start back at that place the next time I play, like in

I fucked around in the settings and started scanning the SD card but it only partially finished. It did manage to find some and I got it to play 2. still doesn't see any games though, so I think that may be the wrong way to do it.

I downloaded the image for my , and flashed it to an SD Card with Balena Etcher. It boots right up! I managed to setup the WiFi and pull down the latest update too, so it's already functioning better than the stock OS!

It can't find any of the , even on the stock SD card, but it wouldn't be if there wasn't something to fix!

#EmuDeck is pretty damn cool and runs very well. I’ve got this neat theme running in #EmulationStation.

I’ve decided to download all of the #Zelda games, except for BotW and TotK as I haven’t got the means to set up Switch emulation. Never saw them as my kind of games, but as I’ve never played any of them I thought I’d give them a go.

Emulation Station running a theme that displays the console being emulated (currently the NES) on a notebook which is placed on a table. There is a sticky note on the notebook showing how many games there are downloaded for that system. Also on the table is highlighter pen, paper clips, paper, a pen, a drawing pin, and a Polaroid photo that dynamic shows fan art of a game for the highlighted system (currently The Legend of Zelda).

We do be tweakin' tho.

I couldn't be more dissatisfied with the catalogue of #knulli #themes for the #rg35xxh. All of them try to cramp so much information into the screen, and they end up feeling bloated. To be blunt, they all suck.

After weeks of searching, I was able to find this theme called "es-theme-tiled" made by Claudio Filipe. It's surprisingly customizable. The menus are just image grids. The system view shows modern-looking system logos, and the game view shows the box arts. It felt great, but still not good enough for me, so I'm removing useless texts and images and tweaking it to my liking.

And it feels so good! Now I really feel like I can enjoy this UI!

Uuuuund die Sammlung wächst weiter … Hier im Bild noch die Original Firmware zu sehen, ich habe aber mittlerweile drauf gemacht (in Ermangelung von für diese Plattform). Auf meinem – systemgleichen – RG35xx+ habe ich auch Knulli drauf. Gefällt ganz gut, ist aktuell mein Favorit. Vor allem auch wegen als Frontend. 👍

Die "Sammlung" 🤭 wächst so langsam. 😊 Von links nach rechts: ein , ein und ein Anbernic . Ich bin ja wahrlich kein Freund von . Aber mit und ist das schon ne echt coole Benutzungsoberfläche!

I created a #python script to generate a custom #emulationstation collection of all 5-star #retrogaming games present on #steamdeck. this is a great way to have the best games easily at hand, especially when using large collections.

how to do it?

1. copy the script from pastebin.com/rjam3wYp and name it create.py
2. run it on your steamdeck by running 'python create.py'
3. start emulationstation, enable custom collections and voila! all the best games now show in a single list!

EmulationStation Desktop Edition, or ES-DE, is a popular user interface for organizing, launching and playing video games designed for consoles. It’s not an emulator itself, but it makes it easy to manage emulators for a console-like experience on devices like handheld gaming PCs or computers plugged into a big-screen TV.
