EmulationStation VS es-theme-tronkyfran

I would suggest some fork of EmulationStation such as the version RetroPie has here https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation or ES-DE.org fork which is on their website

Im not sure what or who a "jrassa" is but their ES fork seems to be merely an out-of-date carbon-copy of the RP fork. As I said, try compiling the "stable" branch of RetroPie's fork. There are Windows build instructions on the github (https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/tree/stable).

Then, the retropie fork became the main one - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation - last updated Februrary 13, 2022 - 905 commits ahead of Aloshi.EmulationStation - currently on version 2.11.0RP

Because we all will have the same hardware, it's actually a great idea to share the best emulator settings for the Deck like this - just like RetroPie for the RaspberryPi. RetroPie is mostly known as it's own OS/distro for the Pi, but it can also be installed and used as a standalone application, because the core is just RetroArch + other emulators wrapped within another frontend called EmulationStation.

The gamelist.xmls aren’t solely responsible for what appears in EmulationStation. The file responsible for which directories get indexed is es_systems.cfg. The default is located at /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg, and you can override it by creating a new one in your home directory. See the docs: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

You can use Retropie's EmulationStation fork from GitHub - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation.

It determines scrolling of the game descriptions in the menu screen. Scrolling the description requires rendering additional frames, which requires extra CPU power. Saves about 40-45% on single-core Pi 0/1 and 10% on quad-core Pi 2/3 according to the feature's author (I presume Pi 4 is about the same, then): https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/172

Personally i really like the aesthetics of the tronkyfran theme.

The images are available from the TronkyFran theme for EmulationStation. Pixel theme also looks quite fancy.
