Emulators / Re: PCSX2 AVX2 QT launch error...

Glad to hear you're continuing your emulation journey with Attract-Mode and PCSX2 on your new computer! Based on the information you provided, you're using a fairly new version of PCSX2 (AVX2 QT Nightly Releases 1.7.4009, April 2, 2023), which is a good choice for performance and features.

Yes. You can specify where attract mode looks for videos and other art. But the video linked is literally a step by step guide on how to do this. Its what taught me!

Hey John,

So I can help with your issue, but not through AM built in scraper.
There is a program called emu movies sync that will auto download the typebof art you specify from their database and save it to a filder you choose.You will have to make a profile on their site though (easy peesy and free).
Here: https://emumovies.com/files/file/321-emumovies-sync/

As an added assist here is a breakdown of how to put them in the right spot in attract mode and get going.
Here: https://youtu.be/KdcBGb0PUGI?feature=shared

Hope this helps, my dude!

Thank you! Let me ask: after downloading videos using EmuMovies Sync, do I need to reconfigure anything in Attract Mode to display videos properly?

You're right: a custom script solution is a good approach for this situation. Even if your script isn't perfect, it's valuable to share it and find ways to improve it.

@jakabasej8

You have to download other shuffle module and replace in directory: modules\shuffle and replace module.nut wiith other. This will make gamelist will be visible.

Does anyone have link of version 2.3 theme Pandora Box Attract 2,3?

@jakabasej8
You have to use older Attract mode.

I don't know how to activate virtual keyboard to search for games. Configure search key in controller option but can not activate.

You can print the value of game_name to verify it matches the filename, or use Info.Title instead if it better matches your filenames.

Double-check game_name by printing it but don’t sleep on Info.

Scripting / Re: Scrolling text?

« Last post by jakabasej8 on June 17, 2025, 06:28:23 AM »

Hi
I'm trying to display the game title using a fixed width led type font. Is it possible to somehow display characters 1-25 then 2-26 then 3-27 and so on to simulate a scrolling led display?
If the game title is 25 characters or less I would just want the name to be stationary.
Hopefully someone is able to help.

Yes, that's totally possible!
