What you need for Marquee

  • Default marquee file is "maintitle.png" in "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/system/" folder

  • You can set default marquee as video.
    Copy video file "maintitle.mp4" to "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/system/" folder (optional)

  • Marquee image for each game should be in "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/[system name]/[gamefilename.png]"
    Note: fba, mame-advance, mame-libretro and mame-mame4all will share the system folder name as arcade
    (eg: for galaga in fba folder - /home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/arcade/galaga.png
    for mario.zip in nes folder - /home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/nes/mario.png )

  • If there is no game marquee file then PieMarquee2 will show system marquee.
    Place for system marquee "systemname.png" is "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/system/" folder
    (eg: snes for super nintendo, megadrive for genesis and megadrive )

  • Video boot intro can be set. Copy video file "intro.mp4" to "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/" folder (optional)

  • instruction panel image for each game "gamefilename.png" goes to "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/instruction" folder (optional)

  • publisher image for publisher "publishername.png" goes to "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/publisher" folder (optional, defined in gamelist_short.xml )
    NOTE : Setting instruction or publisher images makes PieMarquee2 to show marquee of game, instruction and publisher sequentially.)
