General / AM + Rocketlauncher + Generating Rom List?

« on: February 02, 2016, 12:49:26 AM »

Hi all,

I have used rocketlauncher to tidy up launching of emulators and avoiding seeing the background, mouse etc when launching. It works well but i've run into a problem.

To use Rocketlauncher the emulator cfg files need to have:

"executable           C:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe
args                 -s "[emulator]" -r "[name]" -p AttractMode -f "C:\Attract-Mode\attract.exe"

It works fine for launching until I go to regenerate the rom list (with additional games) and ofcourse that runs rocketlauncher which doesn't appear to work.

For anyone that uses rocketlauncher + AM, do you know how to make this work?

Can I have a separate command in the .cfg for generating the romlist?

At the moment i'm editing the config file, updating the romlist and editing it back again. I'm hoping there is a better way....

Thanks for reading!

General / Attract-Mode retaining focus on launch of emulator

« on: January 12, 2016, 03:30:05 PM »

Hi,

I have got MAME setup beautifully in Attract-mode and I really don't understand why it's not more popular than it is!

I've started setting up additional emulators (M2 and Demul) and while attract-mode is still great, I need to now account for some of less desirable features of those emulators.

1) when I launch the game it jumps out to the desktop while the emulator is started before eventually starting the game in fullscreen. What i'd like to achieve is a seamless transition like I see for Mame.

Is there any way to achieve this? I was thinking if attract mode could keep focus for X number of seconds before transitioning....

2) The mouse cursor shows smack bang in the middle of the screen on Demul. In googling it, I see people use an autohotkey script to mask this. How do I tie this in with attract mode and launching of the emulator?

Thanks for your time!

General / Filter on the number of buttons?

« on: December 08, 2015, 11:35:38 PM »

Hi there,

I have a control panel with 4 buttons per player, and i'd like to filter out ROMs that require more buttons than this.

I have controls.ini and I can see that i'd want to filter on P1NumButtons. Is there anyway to filter on specific properties within controls?

I've tried searching myself but I can't figure it out.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
