Not yet. I think I may have a mame issue. I select a game press enter/select play button and it says Initiating then reverts back to AM game menu.

Did a console start with debug logging turned on...

heres the logfile. If anyone sees a problem let me know. :-)

in config->emulators->mame try setting your working directory to ‘C:\Games\Mame’ (its currently using your attract mode directory). I’m guessing mame isn’t finding your rom files when launching from AM.

Hi MuZila,

Would you mind testing the version of Attract-Mode linked here and reporting whether it addresses your issue?:  https://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2598.msg17907#msg17907

Try out the "Fill screen" window mode, that is the one that should (hopefully) work now

Hi MachoMan22,
 
I've made another update to try to fix the issue you have reported.  Would you mind testing the build of attract-mode linked below and let me know your results?  Make sure you set the "Window Mode" to "Fill Screen (Default)" when testing this out.  Thanks!

ok thanks for checking!  back to the drawing board....

How do we get this information in front of the developers?

I think the root cause may have other interactions with other AM functions that may drive people away from using AM.

I'm aware this issue, but haven't been able to track it down or reproduce it myself to debug.
Knowing that it doesn't happen with 2.0.0rc2 is very helpful. I've gone back and looked at what might have changed and have a theory as to what might be causing this....

I've made a test patch in 2.5.1, would someone who is experiencing this please test one of the following and let me know if the problem is still happening?:

General / Re: Scraping in Linux
« on: September 28, 2018, 06:35:58 PM »
this is due to a very recent change to the frontend

You need to have the development headers and library for “libcurl” installed on your system when you compile attractmode for network scraping to work with the newest development version.

on lubuntu I think you will need to run:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
(the package name may different)

then do a ‘make clean’ and ‘make’ on attractmode to re-compile AM(assuming you have compiled yourself)

I hope this helps

pinned.

thanks for setting this up!

You know what, I think it would be pretty straight forward to extend the "magic token" support for calling a squirrel function into the emulator argument processing as well, so you would be able to call into a script to get it. I'll look into this further.

Hi,

There isn't currently a way to pass arguments directly from the layout code to the emulator and yes I can see this being a limitation on more complicated setups.

There is a transition that layouts can use both before and after a game is launched, to configure things for their emulator (see the ultrastik plugin as an example).  You can also use the Edit Game feature to edit an entry on the romlist to specify a custom executable and command line arguments for that entry.  There is also the multi-emulator config approach keilmillerjr suggested.

Scripting / Re: Script for export name game or system
« on: September 02, 2018, 10:03:58 AM »
The following code will write the current game name to "/.attract/current_name.txt", the current game title to "/.attract/current_title.txt", and the current system to "/.attract/current_system.txt".  Hopefully this will get you started, you can paste this into a new plugin or just as part of your layout script....

Code: [Select]
fe.add_transition_callback( "gamename_transition" );
function gamename_transition( ttype, var, ttime )
{
        if (( ttype == Transition.EndNavigation )
                || ( ttype == Transition.StartLayout ))
        {
                system( "echo '" + fe.game_info( Info.Name ) + "' > ~/.attract/current_name.txt" );
                system( "echo '" + fe.game_info( Info.Title ) + "' > ~/.attract/current_title.txt" );
                system( "echo '" + fe.game_info( Info.System ) + "' > ~/.attract/current_system.txt" );
        }
        return false;
}

cheers

Announcements / Re: Version 2.4 sneaking in!
« on: August 04, 2018, 09:46:25 PM »

short info:
version 2.4 doesn't longer supports native Windows XP/WinXP.
shows different missing .dll errors / .dll files not found
If you're using WinXP use version 2.3

 >:(  No!!! Please tell me there is going to be support for XP, I have a MAME Arcade PC that I have spent so much time configuring!  Is there any way to get all these new features and fixes for us XP users?  Please tell me there is!

Please try the binary packages linked here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/464 which should work on WinXP

General / Re: AM 2.4 breaks steam window focus
« on: July 29, 2018, 09:30:11 AM »
Hi thanks for the report. Since the loading sequence for the game takes focus away from Attract Mode, and then gives it back, and then takes it again with the multiple loading screens, it is tricking Attract-mode into a mode it shouldn't be in.

I will fix this feature so that it works as advertised for your situation.  I'm hoping for a 2.4.1 patch release in the near future that includes a couple of these bug fixes.

cheers
