Rom List Font Size For 3.5 screen

Post by 144TECH » Sat Jan 14, 2017 9:00 am

Hey guys,

Idk if there's a topic on this, i just couldn't find it so here's the question.
Is it possible to get a bigger font for the romlist in retropie ? it's impossible to read on ada 3.5 composite display.
Now i've seen wermy's video and he has a very big easy readable rom list size font, just as big as below there (options, back, etc) is there a tweak to alter the font? (xml) or any image that has already been modified, or a theme or something. i'm gettin a headache of it. this tiny font i have know makes my gb zero worthless, no joy at all like this.

Waiting for reply's Thanks :mrgreen:

Edit : after posting this i found it, guess i need glasses 8-) for those in need here it is

Yeah, 040/045 is good enough works great. ironically i was looking in the carbon.xml file before and i saw the font, so i was literally asking for a road i already knew lol. guess i need more sleep lol :mrgreen:
Anyway, is there a way to disable the popup that appears when starting a game (the thing that says press a key to modify or something) if you accidentially push a key you enter that menu, but you cannot exit it unless you put a keyboard in it. so you have to switch it off and restart. hope there's a way to skip that menu, or a way to exit with the gamepad instead of keyboard, lil offtopic but its related thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

Yes absolutely.

You can disable it, and if you like you can display any image you want on boot of that game also. By disabling it you don't have to worry about accidental button press into that menu.
