So you do have mame romset? I assume so because your using mame to run them. Dump them all in the roms folder like mame recommends and just use software list. No messing with ini files.
Thanks... Atari 2600 is working, but for some reason MAME won't look in the correct location for the NES roms. I get a File not found error. AttractMode won't start any of the NES roms.
To start a NES cartridge from the command line I need to use mame nes -cart $HOME/emu/nes/roms/1943.zip. Yes, I've edited the mame.ini file to include the path to my NES roms. I've also got the correct path in AttractMode.
...and a side question. I don't have the "import_extras" field in my emulator setup. What is it for? Not sure if it matters but I'm running under Linux.
You could export softwAre list (I think mame includes it pre-generated now), and import that into a romlist. Shouldn’t be an issue I would think.
Hi projets
If you wanted a filter for "most played games", is it limited to Mame only or does it extend to games that are invoked by other emulators?
I ask this because the documentation for Attract Mode suggests that catver.ini is necessary for a "most played games" filter.
Thanks.

The layouts don't appear to be picking up the boxart that I have for my roms. The images are named the same as the roms, the "flyer" setting is pointing to the directory where the boxart is (should I add an artwork item?) Basically, I need to know where the layout is trying to find the boxart, etc.
...and the last thing. In the UI1.0.0 layout MAME is being identified as an unknown system. The system identifier is set to Arcade (the default) and I don't know what the layout is looking for to identify MAME.
Is it at all possible to manually add certain games to specific filters? I'm trying to create things like shmup, fighters, classics, 4-player, and other things. Can I create a custom .ini file or something? I'd want to do this with all my consoles (mame, nes, etc) so manual would be easiest for me (albeit slightly time consuming).
tried that and that didn't work either
global_filter

rule Year not_contains ?
Went back and to the "*"'s out for Mature in the rom list and that didn't help either
Your global_filter has two different "Category not_contains" rules which is likely your problem.
I've added the HUD 1.0.0 layout in my ~/.attract/layouts directory, and a intro.mp4 video in my ~/.attract/intro directory. I've also got to Displays->Displays Menu Options and set Menu Style/Layout to HUD 1.0.0. When I start AttractMode I don't see the video and I still have the pacman layout displayed.
I'm a total n00b when it comes to AttractMode, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Do these files need special permissions? Do I have to modify any settings or configuration files? Are there limitations on what the Linux version can do?
This is on Mint Linux 19.
Any help is appreciated.
