I'll just add, that this is frustrating because I really enjoy attractmode.

I have launchbox/bigbox, but prefer attractmode.

It just repeats

If I go back to version 2.2.1-win64 the joystick will work. Something seems to have changed when it was made as a gui app.

The joystick is not navigating the attractmode menu.

Running attract-console.exe reveals the following repeated message:

Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode: 1

This issue is not yet fixed, but a workaround is to hide the joysticks using this program: https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder

And remap them using antimicro https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro.

BTW antimicro is the best all-in-one solution I've used for remapping controllers to keyboard. It can detect running programs...

I gave up hope and renamed it to VisualPinball and all is well.

I went to another computer and I still can't get the program to launch if it is in a folder with a space...

I appreciate you sharing that...

However, it's still a no go.

From the command prompt, this works:

C:\am>c:\"Visual Pinball"\VPinballX.exe

Windows 10 Attractmode v2.6.0

If I use:
executable          VPinballX.exe
workdir             ../../VisualPinball

The program will launch...

If I use
executable          VPinballX.exe
workdir             ../../Visual Pinball

The program will not launch...(Yes I rename the folder to Visual Pinball and VisualPinball respectively.

Any idea?

« on: December 08, 2019, 02:26:19 PM »

I have  attractmode in the root with a folder addons inside attractmode...
i.e. c:\attractmode\addons\retroarch

This is my emulator cfg for nes...I can move attractmode to any root drive and it works.

Hope the following helps:

___________________________
executable           addons/retroarch/retroarch
args                 -L cores\nestopia_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath              ..\..\..\attractmode\addons\nes\roms\
romext               .zip;.nes
