If you can do it from command prompt then you can do it with attract mode.I know that.. I don't know if it can be done..
Interesting concept. I understand what you're trying to do but not how you want to approach making it happen. The easiest way would be to just put the unique games in your collection and the romlists will only contain unique games to that platform/system. You can also use filtering or tagging if you have more than unique games in your collection.
At any rate, if you're simply asking how to figure out which games for which system, these are couple of examples that should help and I think you'll find the rest by simply changing the system name in the search.
I Googled "nes exclusive games list" and this was in the top 5 results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nintendo_Entertainment_System-only_games
I Googled "snes exclusive games list" and this was in the top 5 results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System-only_games
I Googled "sms exclusive games list" and this was in the top 5 results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Master_System-only_games
I Googled "genesis exclusive games list" and this was in the top 5 results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sega_Genesis-only_games
I don't know if these list are 100% accurate but at a glance they looked pretty good.
How will you decide which system rom you will use when it's not an arcade game but was release on multiple other systems? Will you just not include these games?
I'm also interested in improving the performance if we can find a way. Thinking about what is different between the original multi-cab and this flex version, but main thing that comes to mind is the shader that does the wheel background. I could see that one causing poor performance, so I'd be curious how much improvement you see if you turn that feature off. The other thing that comes to mind is the shader that draws the cabinet top, depending on your aspect ratio -- do you run this in portrait or landscape?Ok i found the "guilty". Its :Crt glow shaders. I changed everything one by one. Although everything seems to have a small reduction in performance (so if you don't use anything will be the fastest possible - probability someone with worst hardware might find it useful -), but crt glow shaders does an huge lugginess.. I would say 20-30 times reduction speed than all other options together
It's nice to see the pinball feature is useful to somebody other than myself.
. You press a key to show next game in cabin and it shows it 2 sec later... By disabling this its fast enough for me.sosimple, my 4k system runs this theme fine, but it's using a fairly modern GPU (Nvidia 1660ti). What does your CPU/GPU hardware look like? And when do you notice the lag? I assume it's when scrolling through the game titles?As you already have noticed, i don't have good gpu. I use a mini pc i7 10710u (6 core 12 threat) with it's internal gpu.. 16 giga ram. I also test your theme to a i5 7200u laptop (also the same internal gpu) and it is working fine there but the resolution of the screen is HD there. Also if i set the tv resolution to HD it works fine. Actually you can't tell what is lugging as it is everything lug, even the videosnap i think.. I already have set a button to change aspects ratio (i think this is what is changing, not the actual resolution) but no improvement.. I'll try to change some things to see if things go better. Until now whatever i changed, may improve things but not much. The solution would be if theming has the option to change resolution. I think it haven't until now.
gsm2021's suggestion is good advice for testing different aspect ratios, but I don't think it will help in this case because it is simulating different aspect ratios but still based on the current resolution.
I'm trying to think of what would cause the most slowdown. Most likely suspect is the shaders, which are used by several settings:You could test whether disabling any/all of those makes a significant improvement. Perhaps some of those are more of a GPU burden than others.
- Enable CRT screen glow shader
- Enable CRT bloom or lottes shaders
- Enable lighted marquee effect
- Enable wheel background
- Text glow on "Show game information" and music player
- (the top drawn above the cabinet for narrow resolutions)
Windows 10. I'll try it now..Thanks for the reply! I cant figure out what is the problem then.. For the games that there isn't a fanart , I got a black backround. What is the name of static image of an Arcade hall ? Is it "bkg_base.jpg" ? I suppose it doesn't find this jpg. What folder should be in?
Edit I tried At-The-Arcade Flex also , same problem.
I also copy bkg_base.jpg from theme folder to fanart folder (where all fanart jpg are and working) just in case but no luck..
I tried in 2 pc. Thanks,
Try converting bkg_base.jpg to png format, delete the jpg and try again.
What OS are you using?
Thanks for the reply! I cant figure out what is the problem then.. For the games that there isn't a fanart , I got a black backround. What is the name of static image of an Arcade hall ? Is it "bkg_base.jpg" ? I suppose it doesn't find this jpg. What folder should be in?I have select in options of the theme, to show as background artwork photo of every game. Some games doesnt have artwork photo, so it shows black background to them. Is there any way (it would be cool this option) when there isn't artwork, to show the live wallpaper of the original at the arcade wallpaper, as background.
Thanks,
If you mean that you have set the layout option 'Select background image' to 'Fanart' or 'Flyer', it doesn't show a black image when there is no game art available - it just shows a static image of an Arcade hall (just double checked it).
