General / Re: AM hangs on exit from MAME
« Last post by progets on January 16, 2019, 08:16:02 PM »Try removing the "exit_hotkey escape" from your mame.cfg. If that doesn't work let us know the exact version of AM you're using.

Scripting / Re: Question about carrier.nut image sizing.
« Last post by keithcorcoran on January 16, 2019, 07:24:16 PM »that's actually what I did.
since this implementation only has 3 games it's like no effort.
that said, is there a way to keep AM from antialiasing when it scales to screen size?
(this is kind of a layout vs scripting question but...)
I plan to either go from RCA out to a CRT NTSC TV or figure out how to get video from the Pi into my arcade CGA with as little hardward(cost) as possible.
Unsure if I should design my theme at 320x240 or 640x480 (in case I am outputting HDMI to VGA to CGA - my least preferred option)
Since NTSC is '525 lines' I don't knwo what that ends up being in pixels for purposes of creating a theme that appears as hard pixels without antialiasing.

General / Re: Screensaver showing black screen
« Last post by progets on January 16, 2019, 07:13:45 PM »default-emulator.cfg is a template and not part of your issue. When I said emulator.cfg, I meant <emulator/system>.cfg. Sorry if I wasn't clear but I wanted the Super Nintendo.cfg file you posted. Es_settings.cfg has nothing to do with AttractMode screensavers, only EmulationStation screensavers.
When you are in your Super Nintendo Display do you see the videos play? If your screensaver is activated while in your Super Nintendo Display do you see the videos?
In your attract.cfg I see these lines
You can try to adjust these setting and see if it helps.

General / Re: AM hangs on exit from MAME
« Last post by Bgoulette on January 16, 2019, 06:40:15 PM »Me again. Still no idea what I need to do (or even try next) to fix this constant crashing after exiting from Mame. Has no one else run into this and managed to solve it? Thinking I might have to gut my AM install and start over. Ugh.

« Last post by keilmillerjr on January 16, 2019, 05:45:29 PM »I haven’t used the scrap feature. I would try compiling yourself. I know there is two different methods to compile on windows. Perhaps one method doesn’t include the library? Compiling yourself is a starting point. I don’t run windows on my “pc”.
