Themes / Port Animatic theme to AM
« on: May 07, 2019, 12:21:58 PM »
Don't know if any of you have seen this theme for RetroFE done by Floyd:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IroDDxOSAg

It uses the video themes created by Critical Cid that can be found on emumovies.  I don't have ANY experience creating themes and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in making this work  on AM.  I imagine the vertical wheel part could be borrowed from other themes and should be able to just make most of the background the video.

General / Ubuntu 18.04 x64...mame or lr-mame?
« on: May 03, 2019, 02:45:53 PM »
Hey guys.

I have successfully compiled AM, MAME and Retroarch on Ubuntu 18.04 x64 Minimal.  There is no dedicated desktop environment and the system runs entirely in X.  I'll post a how-to for anyone interested in doing something similar.

Anyway, my question is kinda rudimentary...

My bartop will be dedicated to running ONLY arcade games.  If you had a choice, would you prefer mame or lr-mame?  Does one offer any benefit over the other?

BTW...I don't care about any extra functionality (like netplay) other than hi-scores.

TIA for an feedback!

General / Scraping in Linux
« on: September 27, 2018, 04:25:57 PM »
I have AM running on Lubuntu 18.04 (installed using the deb package).  However, when I try to scrape I get a message that the bottom that says "Unable to scrape, frontend was built without libcurl enabled!"

Can anyone help?  If scraping is not possible in the FE, what standalone scraper is recommended?

TIA!

John
