Interesting - I will have a look at it.

Unfortunately I cannot replicate. I am mainly running Robospin and Nevato Layouts, which do not contain an option for wheel sounds.
Or do you refer to the overall Sound Options, in which you can assign a sound to e.g. Next Game/Previous Game?

Hi, I configured Attract Mode on my Mac to a running MAME system, thus I left my MAME directories completely unchanged - here I explained it:

If you look to Step 7, this is where the configuration to MAME happens. I never tested an external hard drive, but with the appropriate paths set, it should work. Good luck!

Hi, I did two blog entries on setting up Attract Mode in MacOS:

https://mameonmacs.blogspot.co.at/2017/01/attract-mode-for-mame-under-osx.html
https://mameonmacs.blogspot.co.at/2017/01/attract-mode-for-osx-setup-part-2.html

Part 1 includes the font topic, part 2 the video topic. I would be very grateful for feedback on these two entries and whether I have missed anything.
In Terminal, you definitely must run Attract Mode from the App directory. Same with MAME from the Terminal

EDIT: I just realize that I have the same font config error, however, my font choice works, so it does not seem to harm.

Cheers, Stefan

General / Re: AM OSX users: What emulators are you using?

« on: January 27, 2017, 10:11:26 AM »

I did a fast try with mupen64 plus, and it seems to work nicely:
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/releases/tag/2.5
I just created the following config in Attract Mode/Emulators/Create New Emulator:

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.2.0-3
#
executable           $HOME/Documents/Attract Mode Data/mupen64plus/run_rice.sh
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              $HOME/Documents/RetroArch/Hotstuff/N64/
romext               .n64
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap           
artwork    wheel           
Next would now be to finetune the Mupen64plus config file in [$HOME]/.config after first start of the emulator (joypad, resolution, etc.).
Hope this helps!

PS EDIT: After some testing, I would recommend you to go for Retroarch in the case of N64 emulation, alternatively OpenEmu, they both provide you with a far less painful configuration experience.
