General / Artwork Scraping

« Last post by bionictoothpick on Today at 05:43:01 AM »

Is there a way to scrape artwork directly from the interface while running the game selection screen? I want to just scrape artwork for my games tagged with favorite, or just one random game on occasion...

General / Trackball not working in mame games

« Last post by Hunts4beers on December 10, 2024, 05:39:07 PM »

I noticed my trackball is not working when using attract mode for Mame however, if I run Mame without attract mode trackball games are working. Setting are correct in Mame. Is there some setting in attract mode?  Please help.

This is the code I'm using...

Font is in path, and installed on the windows machine.

local l = fe.add_text("[Title]", 5, 12, 550, 35 );
   l.set_rgb( 255, 255, 255 );
   l.font="Digital-7 Italic";
   l.align = Align.Left;
   l.style = Style.Bold;
   l.charsize = 28;

Scripting / Re: [TOOL] Flashpoint Importer for Launchers

Just came across this, looking forward to trying it out. I don't want many flash games because it's overwhelming for someone just visiting to play on the cab...may like 100 games in different genres...need an all killer or no filler type list...

Themes / AttractMode Plus Font Display vs AttractMode (Resolved)

« Last post by bionictoothpick on December 07, 2024, 06:28:17 PM »

RESOLVED: Add .ttf after the font name...

This may not be the correct forum,

But my fonts show in my layout on attractmode, but not in attractmode plus.

Thoughts?

General / flycast linux configuration

« Last post by garou81 on December 07, 2024, 09:23:12 AM »

I'm attempting to install the flycast emulator under attractmode on the archlinux os.  Just starting out with linux trying to learn as I go. 
I installed and run flycast sucessfully using the flatpak distribution.  I tried to add the emulator to attractmode with no success

Here is my config file

executable           /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.flycast.Flycast
args                 run org.flycast.Flycast"[romfilename]"
workdir              $HOME/Arcade/
rompath              $HOME/shared/roms/flycast/Naomi/
romext               .zip
system               naomi
info_source          thegamesdb.net
exit_hotkey          Escape
artwork    flyer           $HOME/Flycast/boxart
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap            $HOME/Flycast/videos;$HOME/Flycast/snap
artwork    wheel           

I have also used these executables: flatpak
and
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.flycast.Flycast/x86_64/stable/8dc0124d95695944ee92150d843746f7a22ef4bdb4333f7be466bfe916e63009/export/bin/org.flycast.Flycast

each time a window appears to open briefly then closes. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction
