Scripting / LEDSpicer Plugin

« Last post by meduzapat on Yesterday at 08:33:26 PM »

LEDSpicer Plugin for LED/Joystick Control

Works with LEDSpicer on Linux (including Raspberry Pi, tested on 3b+ and 4) to dynamically control LEDs and dynamic joysticks (servostik, U360s, GGG 49-way, GGG rotaries, etc.) within the AttractMode interface, and during game launch.

http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=4527.0

Requires LEDSpicer to be installed on your Linux-based system: https://github.com/meduzapat/LEDSpicer/wiki
LEDSpicer (similar to LEDBlinky) manages lighting & lighting animation, joysticks, monitor rotation, MAME output, and has support for input profiles (for guided control tours, etc.)

Scripting / LEDSpicer Plugin

« Last post by meduzapat on Yesterday at 08:28:16 PM »

Hello everyone,

I am excited to announce the release of the LEDSpicer Plugin for AttractMode!

The LEDSpicer Plugin integrates seamlessly with AttractMode and LEDSpicer, allowing you to change your lighting configuration based on the currently selected ROM or emulator in AttractMode. Whether you're looking to enhance your gaming setup or add some dynamic lighting effects, this plugin is designed to provide a richer and more immersive experience.

Key Features

    Rotate Joysticks: Automatically rotate joysticks to match the configuration required by the current game. Perfect for dynamic joysticks like the Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 or Servostiks.
    Reset Joysticks: Reset joysticks to their default position or configuration when exiting a game or returning to the menu, ensuring a consistent starting point.
    Iteration Type: Customize how profiles change during navigation with three settings:
        None: No profile changes during navigation.
        ROM: Change profiles based on the currently selected ROM, providing immediate feedback and lighting changes.
        Emulator: Change profiles based on the selected gaming system or emulator.
    Allow Animations on Navigation: Enable animations when navigating through games for a more dynamic visual experience.
    Screensaver Mode: Activate a screensaver mode to display predefined lighting patterns or animations when AttractMode is idle, great for showcasing your setup or preventing display burn-in.

Installation

    Ensure you have LEDSpicer installed and configured.
    Add the LEDSpicer Plugin folder to the plugins folder of AttractMode.
    Verify that the correct permissions are set on the folder.
    Start (or restart) AttractMode and enable the plugin.

Setup

The plugin communicates with the LEDSpicer app using commands like:

Code: [Select]

ledspicer LoadProfileByEmulator digdug arcade -f "NO_ROTATOR"
This command tells LEDSpicer which profile to use based on the selected ROM name and emulator name, without making changes to dynamic joysticks.

Configuration Note

Please remember that the emulator name is the configured emulator name in AttractMode. For instance, if you named your emulator "Bob," the emulator name passed to LEDSpicer will be "Bob." Use names like "Arcade," "NES," "Daphne," or "Mame" for better clarity. Uppercase letters in the name will be converted to lowercase automatically.

Get Started

To get started, download the plugin from the LEDSpicer Plugin GitHub page and follow the installation and setup instructions.

I hope you find this plugin useful and that it enhances your arcade experience. I am looking forward to hearing your feedback and seeing the creative ways you use the LEDSpicer Plugin with your setups!

Best regards

Hi

I've posted the two emulators config file.
I've AttractMode Plus v3.08, windows 11.

I've just updated the two emulators to the latest version (duckstation and psx2) and can confirm it's work.

Don't forget to add a "\" at the end of the rompath.

Best regards

Ah so i should just put the \ at the end of rompaths, now works. Thanks a lot my friend, you saved me to almost uninstall Attract Mode, cuz i use it just for the PS1 and 2 recently

Hi !

I have been faced to the same problem recently.
My config is working with this two emulators since years, but now, they don't work, with the same error message.

So I check the rompath in my config files, and I simply replace all the "/" characters by "\"
This fix the problem.

I don't really understand why it's working before and not now, but this fix is working.

PS: I'm not near my retrogaming machine, I give you this from memory.

Hello! Thanks for the answer, i did what you said, i went to emulators then my PS1 cfg file (after i will go to my PS2 cfg if i fix the PS1 one) and i replace the / with the \ in the rompath but nothing has changed, i assume they broken some things in a DuckStation and PCSX2 QT interface after an update. You can share your PS1 and PS2 cfg files when you return to your retrogaming PC? Thanks so much

Hello. I can't figure out what are the problems with these 2 emulators when i try to running it through Attract Mode, i try any imaginable solutions but i still haven't fix the issues, when i was on Windows 10 back in the day, was everything fine, now on windows 11 i have these new problems. I already have the games in the folders, i renamed it cuz for convenience months ago, but i don't think this thing is a problem, i rarely use Attract Mode, but now when i need it for PS1 and PS2 games, doesn't work. I attach down below what i have encountered, i hope you will can help me, thanks in advance.
