Groovyarcade but with recalbox style, is it posible?
« on: March 08, 2023, 03:17:59 pm »
Hey i love how groovyarcade makes everything so easy to set up, but to be honest i dont like the Front End, i was wondering, i know recalbox its just like an OS with emulationsatation included, so i was wondering if is posible to set up groovyaracde with emulationstation to make it look like recalbox, or perhaps just copy and paste the emulationstation part into groovyarcade .... has anyone done anything like that? thanks for your help.

As I'm a former Recalbox dev, I can tell you :
- you can get ES, it's already halfway done, so to say
- I have written a AM to ES systems converter
- Don't expect all the features in ES that are specific to Recalbox
- I have anyway set my mind on the retrobat/batocera ES which is more "portable" than the Recalbox', which is anyway way too linked to the distro itself

But I haven't done much on ES for, say, a year or so

Sometimes i wake up in my foreing side, so some things are hard to understand, but if i understood righ, you still working on it, and it would take some time, if thats right, then ill have to stick with windows and hyperspin for a while, thanks

And since you are a recalbox dev, is it posible to use rgb on pcx86? or thats out of the way, only on pi3 and 4?

I'm a former Recalbox dev, I quitted 4.5 years ago

I've stopped working on ES integration just ... well just because, I moved on to something else/ Pshakis is using one of my builds though, and he's happy with it

@abispac, Groovyarcade Kms + batocera Emulationstation is the best combo i tried, not only on Linux, as Windows user too.

If you are interested, i can share my launcher scripts for it.
