cool if you can do that it would make it more funtional

I learnt a couple of things about Retrix the last few days. I also fixed the buttons being mapped into different buttons. Like having to jump by pressing B on the xbox controller when playing mega man x

I'm looking into what would be a better way to implement pulling up the hidden overlay to save/load on Xbox One. There is some code in the overlay.cs file that makes a method call to initialize the overlay at runtime. The way that it's programmed is that the overlay is suppoused to always be active from the moment you start Retrix and that works for PC however for Xbox One it remains hidden.

public PlayerOverlay() <- Calls the overlay method

{
this.InitializeComponent(); <- Performs initilization logic
}

My idea is to use the GamePad API to wrap this method call into either a switch block or if/else so that the only time it gets called to show the overlay is if the user presses a certain button on the gamepad. For instance if I pressed select it would then bring up the hidden overlay so I can Save/Load but only if i hit select.

that sounds about right from what i can tell

Problem I'm having is when i try to create a new instance of the gamepad class so i can do stuff with it as in

Gamepad gamepad = new Gamepad();

I get an error that states "Gamepad Class Does not have constructor that takes 0 arguments".

Which is strange to me... Could also be because I haven't touched C# in quite a bit here lately I've been working in Rust/Golang so my C# knowledge is really just from memory

I've already had a look at the official API it confused more than helped me. And Damn, You should probably fix that @ElijahZAwesome

Well I was hoping you'd be alright lol and yeah I'm gonna look at the code again here in a bit and see if I can't figure something out. If I can't no big deal as Alberto has already said that he does intend to implement the overlay correctly for the gamepad sometime soon.

Update:
@ElijahZAwesome @dominater01 @tunip3 @Xeroyamil @kingtut I found a fix to the issue with the A button pulling up the overlay guys. Go to settings -> Video Settings -> and make sure that you select "Apps can add a border". The mouse pointer will still be there for when you need pull up the menu to save and load your game but the menu will no longer come up every single time you press the A Button.

No it's very much alive. Slow steady progress is better than rushed garbage. This scene is at the best point it's ever been

@wiired24 if you do not care about save state menu. you can give the command bar a name. then call it in playerOverlay.cs under initialization. and type:

"command bar name".visibility = visibility.collapsed.

This will remove the command bar

also, if you check the libretro GitHub page right now, he just started working on ps1 core.

I can't speak for everyone but I personally kinda care alot about being able to save my games. I already pointed out a fix that works tut.
And I know I posted about that earlier this morning when @dominter01 first mentioned it

I understand, the reason why I care about fixing this is that I hate the fact that everytime I touch the analog buttons. the menu shows up. so until alberto fixes this, I wanted to make it so that it only shows up by pressing the left thumbstick button. That is what I am working on right now.
