To add entries to the configuration menu you would need to change the source code and compile attract-mode yourself.

The configuration menu settings are all in src/fe_config.cpp

You could make a layout of system commands. You would have to create a fake romlist with the command for each item you want to do...

Then write a batch file for each "rom" you want to run.

Use the menu plugin and make a list of your own. When I get home, I'll send you my menu script that includes the power off feature script

Could I use a menu emulators to select one of those? The menu could be something like this


E.g if I select mame then I want to see the list of games of mame. It's possible?

Thanks in advance.

set emulator system 'mame' like this, generate romlist and you get all games of mame if you select emulator system mame:
executable           C:\attract\EMU\mame\mamepp.exe
args                 [name] -skip_gameinfo
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\mame\roms
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
AM Version : 2.6.1
Input : Mad Catz Brawlstick; Mouse; Keyboard; Xbox360 Wireless
Cabinet : Yes
OS : Windows10 Pro
System : Dell Precision T3500 ; Intel X5650 ; 12GB RAM

Sorry for my bad english.
I want that when I run AM appears a menu with all my configured emulators in screen.
If I select MAME then I want to see the list of games of MAME; if I select TurboGrafxCD then I want to see the list of games of TurboGrafxCD and so on.

I don't know if this is possible or not. If It's possible I don't know how can I do it.

Thanks in advance.
