Scripting / Scripts to send the marquee to a second LCD when the screensaver is active RPI4

« Last post by takoni on Yesterday at 01:45:07 AM »

2 Raspberries Pi in a single arcade, one for the emulation and another for the marquee lcd.
When the screensaver of the Raspberry Pi 4 displays random game videos in Attract Mode's screensaver mode, it sends the marquee to a second Raspberry Pi 3 over an internal network. The Pi 3 then displays the marquee on its own LCD screen. When it cannot find the marquee, it displays a default one. This works by using an add-on in the screensaver and a script on the second Raspberry Pi. Additionally, the marquees need to be stored on the second Raspberry Pi as well. It works very well.
Here are the scripts and an example of the files/directories. Made with the help of chatgpt.

Emulators / Re: General OS X (mac) help here

« Last post by verion on September 18, 2024, 10:30:01 AM »

Is there a Attract Mode version compiled for Apple Silicon (M1 etc)?
I cant find it.

AM plus has binaries, but I need vanilla AM for testing

Yeah! Looks great! Coverflow animation is very smooth.
Can this be downloaded somewhere?

Hi Jedione, I was looking for a coverflow theme and this one is fantastic. Have you ever finished this layout? Can you share?

Hasn't posted anything here regarding this theme in over 2 years, so I was wondering the same thing

General / Racing rig build; attractmode questions

« Last post by rautz on September 15, 2024, 02:39:13 PM »

Hey guys

I have  a choice between g27 and g923 for this build.

I would prefer to use G923 so that I can connect my PS5 to the rig.
Does Attract Mode work fine with G923, failing that does it work fine with G27?

Is there anything I should be looking at when setting up the steetring wheel to run the frontend. - A keyboard and mouse wont be available unless I am in trouble shooting. I wont to make this a turn on and play unit similar to console experience.

I would be using this rig for some model 2 and model 3 driving title action. Naomi titles probably on the cards too if my PC can handle it.

I want to use Attractmode as I use it on my arcade cabinets, so there will be an ongoing theme in the game room.

OS will be windows(10 or 11).

General / Re: losing focus tips/tricks?

Anyone ever find a solution for this, happens often for me as well, doesn't seem to matter what emulator, but you'll be in the middle of playing a game, then attract mode will become the window focus, pushing the game to the background.

Themes / Re: Arcadeflow theme v 17.3 [Release] Updated 15 July 2024

« Last post by alucard on September 02, 2024, 11:03:46 AM »

Hi zpaolo11x,
I did a test with the new version

Code: [Select]

display Master System#CONSOLE
layout               Arcadeflow_174_wip
romlist              Master System
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes
global_filter
rule                 Name not_contains \[BIOS\]|\(Beta|\(Unl\)|\(Program\)
filter               All
filter               Tag-A-Filter
filter               Tag-B-Filter

Filters are declared empty because tags created with AF GUI are not visible from AM.
That's okay, because regular AM tags can give problems in cross system collection 

Switching filter from GUI, AF activates the correct persistent Multi Filter

pref_mf_Master System#CONSOLE_Tag-A-Filter.txt
or
pref_mf_Master System#CONSOLE_Tag-B-Filter.txt

The unwanted game launch in Multi Filter is also gone!

Many thanks zpaolo11x for your priceless work
