Add alternate themes for North American systems

jaykass commented 8 years ago

Add alternative themes for Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Turbografx-16, and Turbografx-16 CD to correspond to North American releases.

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

Agreed. I've tried coping es systems cfg file to system share as wiki says with no luck after editing mega drive entry

ghost commented 8 years ago

@mcmasterp @jaykass You guys want to add, or edit the current systems in a theme? If I get you right, you want to add Sega Genisis with its own logo, but run as Mega Drive, right? Just to represent the N.A. System?

If so, you need to do the following

Create a folder in /roms and name it genisis
Make a backup of es_systems.cfg
Inside es_system.cfg you need to copy and paste the whole Megadrive part ` Sega Megadrive megadrive /recalbox/share/roms/megadrive .md .MD .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP .gen .GEN .smd .SMD
python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.pyc %CONTROLLERSCONFIG% -system %SYSTEM% -rom %ROM% -emulator %EMULATOR% -core %CORE%
genesis, megadrive megadrive genesisplusgx picodrive
`
In the copied section you edit the <fullname>, the <path> and the <theme> to the following <fullname>Sega Genisis</fullname> <path>/recalbox/share/roms/genisis</path> <theme>genisis</theme>
The theme should then include a folder called /genisis in which you have the theme.xml (or whateverer you call it.
If you then put sega roms in the /roms/genisis folder it should show up in ES as Genisis since you created the Genisis folder in the theme and declared it in es_systems.

jaykass commented 8 years ago

@Nachtgarm I don't think it even needs to be that difficult.

When I was using retropie, I could just change megadrive to genesis from within es_systems.cfg.

I have no issue doing this and even providing the pull request for it.

My issue is that I do not have the skill to create the artwork (6 svg files) stored in /themes/recalbox/megadrive/data/

If someone more capable could provide those svg files then I could contribute the remainder to the project.

jaykass commented 8 years ago

I looked again, looks like logo2.svg in the megadrive/data folder is a genesis logo.

jaykass commented 8 years ago

see pull request #134

This takes care of everything except a few of the .svg files which I do not have the ability to create.

ghost commented 8 years ago

@jaykass I thought you want to add a Genisis folder, so I described how to do that, because you wrote "Add alternative themes for..." and my description was for @mcmasterp as well. Since you have changed the XML Files with #134, you're still missing the part I described above. How do you want to seperate the European Megadrive from the US Genisis in a theme without adding it as system in es_systems.cfg? If you have both at the same time pointing to the same directory of roms, it will always show both systems with the same games in it.

jaykass commented 8 years ago

unless I am mistaken, simply changing <theme>megadrive</theme> to <theme>genesis</theme> in es_systems.cfg would enable the theme from /themes/recalbox/genesis (once merged) to be applied to the megadrive entry in es_systems.cfg. There should not be a need to duplicate everything within es_systems.

ghost commented 8 years ago

You need to dublicate it in the es_systems.cfg because we won't replace megadrive by genesis, but keep, if at all, both systems available, so that the user can choose which system he/she wants to have displayed in ES.

jaykass commented 8 years ago

I don't expect to replace megadrive. I'm simply saying that now, a simple text edit either by the end user or maybe a config script would allow for changing from megadrive to genesis if so desired. I get that a lot of users will want megadrive for the same reason I want genesis. its a nostalgia thing.

rockaddicted commented 8 years ago

One way to do should be to have a folder/theme for each region specific system (EU/US/JP) then add a switch in ES options / UI Settings. Once the region selected, themes will be dynamically switched.

paradadf commented 8 years ago

@jaykass if you just change the name, the file will be overwritten after every update.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I second that @rockaddicted. Do it the right way, or no way. :smile: @jaykass I wrote the above with the common user in mind. As usual. To have an easy way of choosing the region, without having the users to edit anything. That's what we always try to achive. Therefore @rockaddicted's idea is even better, but makes a new theme folder for each region conditional.

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

Is there a way for us common users to get this working until merge and update? I did follow the steps you laid out @Nachtgarm but of course I have no theme files to add. I assume I would add said files in a folder called genesis in share/system/.emulationstation/theme is that correct?

digitalLumberjack commented 8 years ago

The best solution would be a switch in es that is used in theme to set the theme image for each region :

<image name="console" extra="true">
            <path region="fr">./data/console1.svg</path> 
            <path region="us">./data/console2.svg</path> 
            <path region="default">./data/console3.svg</path>

Time consuming :) anyone with C++ skills ?

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

Ok so

I installed the carbon theme into the \system.emulationstation\themes folder
I added the genesis rom folder and added games
edited my es_systems.cfg file in \system.emulationstation to change the mega drive entry to this:

`
Sega Genesis Genesis /recalbox/share/roms/genesis .md .MD .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP .gen .GEN .smd .SMD python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.pyc %CONTROLLERSCONFIG% -system %SYSTEM% -rom %ROM% -emulator %EMULATOR% -core %CORE% genesis, megadrive genesis genesisplusgx picodrive
`

hard reboot and now it works!

Unless there was an update at the same time I assume this will work for all? though I see in my es_log file:

ghost commented 8 years ago

Hi @mcmasterp

yep. That's it, but with an Update it'll revert all those changes, but yes. You can edit all systems like this. But as said before. Why don't you just add a new system, instead of overwriting the old one? You could seperate roms by location and would have two different Logos in ES. Just in case you want to play European Versions of the Games as well.

If you just want the Genesis, you do as you did and replace the European Logo with the US Logo in the theme.

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@nachtgarm yes I do fully intend to add megadrive entry back. I was just walking through the steps for others as confused as I was.

As for updates in this case I believe the Genesis system is going to be included in next update so it should be OK?

paradadf commented 8 years ago

@mcmasterp I speak only for myself here... But I don't think genesis will be included soon, as to do it properly (the recalbox way), what digit said needs to be implemented, and the theme needs to be finished as well. That won't definitely not be done by the next update, as version 4.0 is frozen.

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@paradadf oh I misunderstood about the next update then, I'll have to do it differently to survive an update.

@Nachtgarm if editing the megadrive entry in es_systems.cfg will be overwriiten, wouldn't adding a genesis entry also be destroyed on update? I thought the purpose of the es_systems.cfg file in the share location was so it wouldn't be overwritten on update? will the carbon theme remain in the share theme folder after update?

substring commented 8 years ago

Editing es_systems.cfg in ~/.emulationstation is bad. If an update brings new systems, they will be added in the share_init, but your file will prevent ES from reading the share_init, and you won't understand why tge new systems don't appear

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@substring I tried to edit the es_systems.cfg at /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg but I couldn't get it to save of course. Is there a way to do an include of a file at ~/.emulationstation that we can add extra system entries to? that way they get incorporated into the systems after any updates.

substring commented 8 years ago

No way. How could we guarantee then the integrity of recalbox emulated systems if we allow combinations of several es_systems.cfg ? Updating would require quite some painful algorithms to decide which file has priority for each system. Too complicated, trust me ...

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@substring so then currently there is no possible setup for genesis that will survive an update correct? If so I would need to disable auto update and do them manually so I can add genesis back or wait to update until it is an included feature of course

substring commented 8 years ago

You got things right. Impossible. Unless you know how to script it

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@substring haha I was all ready to except the facts then you had to throw in that last bit "Unless you know how to script it"

Can you give me a bit more detail on what kind of scripted solution you mean?

paradadf commented 8 years ago

@mcmasterp why so much trouble if you will still have the theme for megadrive? I recommend you to wait patiently until genesis is integrated the way you want. You could simply change the xml of megadrive to use logo2.svg (I think so) after every update to have the genesis logo shown, but keep using the megadrive folder for your roms.

mcmasterp commented 8 years ago

@paradadf good idea. Which xml file is it?

@paradadf thanks again. I'll basically leave it this way for now and do it your way after updates.

Nice logos, how would they be utilized in this situation? Sorry I'm operating at the edges of my abilities as usual

paradadf commented 8 years ago

@mcmasterp i just posted a preview for the impatients that want to see how the vectorized images look like. You can't use it yet on your Recalbox. When the switch is implemented and it is decided exactly where the drawings should go, I will upload the respective themes and resources.

paradadf commented 8 years ago

@digitalLumberjack Wouldn't it be easier to to somehow point to different custom.xml and theme.xml files? For example: EUR version: custom.xml and theme.xml US version: custom2.xml and theme2.xml JP version: custom3.xml and theme3.xml etc... Standard being custom.xml and theme.xml. Implementing the switch on ES to choose between the different regions. And if you choose, i.e. US version, then ES retrieve all the "2" if they exist, otherwise uses the standard ones.

paradadf commented 8 years ago

I didn't think about the different folder names...

Current folder	EUR name	US name	JP name	Note
megadrive	megadrive	genesis	megadrive	Mixed names, different themes
segacd	megacd	segacd	megacd	Mixed names, different themes
sega32x	mega32x	genesis32x	super32x
pcengine	pcengine	tg16	pcengine	Mixed names, different themes (EUR & JP same theme)
pcenginecd	pcenginecd	tgcd	pcenginecd	EUR & JP same theme
snes	snes	snes	sfc	Mixed names, different themes
nes	nes	nes	famicom	Mixed names, different themes (EUR & US same theme)
dreamcast	dreamcast	dreamcast	dreamcast	Same name, different logo
