I guess shuffling mp3's in a folder would be the very easiest way.

Seems that on my machine it stops/restarts audio on some certain screens. I'll investigate that further and let you know.

Do you think it would be possible to integrate the possibility to randomize the BGM music? e.g. shuffle an m3u list or play a random file from a BGM music folder?
I'm using a rather large (>60min) mp3 and have some more files I'd love to add as BGM music to the theme. For now I always hear more or less always the same part of that file.

Especially great would be that an BGM mp3 keeps playing even if you switch from one Display to another, as long you have the same BGM configured for that Display

here we go in German :)
not yet perfect but as a start it should do

currently I'm using gTTS https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/
However this is based on the google service and prone to be deprecated some time in the future or at least your machine needs to be online. So I plan to make the text to speach working being offline.
This is part of my strategy to safeguard my whole cab to be passed on my future generations :)

ok, just give me a ping once you get there

[Title] works


Yes the capital T does the trick. i did only try all lowercase before.
Thanks for the help. Now my cab announces all games while starting :)

With this arguments:
0 _SYS_ arcade "[romfilename]" "[name]"
AM starts this:
0 _SYS_ arcade "path_to_rom-folder\name_of_rom-file.rom-file_extension" "name_of_rom-file"
0 _SYS_ arcade "your_path\astorm.zip" "astorm"

I do not know, if that works. Please test:
0 _SYS_ arcade "[romfilename]" "[title]
or
0 _SYS_ arcade "[romfilename]" "[Title]"

hmm, i think i tried that. But probably only before I regenerated the romlist (to be sure it is correct).
Thanks I'll give it another try tonight.

is there by chance a list of valid arguments attract uses? In the docs I found the Magic Tokens, but [romfilename] is not on this list. So i guess these are not neccesarily the arguments which can be used for command line

Hello there!
My machine is set up to run with runcommand from the retropie setup although I'm running a regular debian pc in my Arcade. I want to pass the Game Name to the command line to use it for a Text to Speech programm.
The config for my Arcade games is like this:

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.0
#
executable           /opt/runcommand/runArcade.sh
args                 0 _SYS_ arcade "[romfilename]" "[name]"
rompath              /opt/roms/arcade
romext               .7z;.cue;.fba;.iso;.zip;.7Z;.CUE;.FBA;.ISO;.ZIP
system               Arcade

My romlist is generated with mame -listxml and looks like this:
Code: [Select]
#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons;Series;Language;Region;Rating
1942;1942;Arcade;;;;Shooter / Flying Vertical;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
1942a;1942 (Revision A);Arcade;1942;1984;Capcom;Shooter / Flying Vertical;2;270;joystick (8-way),joystick (8-way);good;1;raster;1942;;;2;;;;
1942;1942 (Revision B);Arcade;;1984;Capcom;Shooter / Flying Vertical;2;270;joystick (8-way),joystick (8-way);good;1;raster;;;;2;;;;
1942a;1942a;Arcade;;;;Shooter / Flying Vertical;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
1943;1943;Arcade;;;;Shooter / Flying Vertical;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
airwolf;Airwolf;Arcade;;1987;Kyugo;Shooter / Flying Horizontal;2;0;joystick (8-way),joystick (8-way);good;1;raster;;;;2;;;;
astorm;Alien Storm (World, 2 Players) (FD1094 317-0154);Arcade;;1990;Sega;Platform / Shooter Scrolling;2;0;joystick (8-way),joystick (8-way);good;1;raster;;;;3;;;;

However each time I run a game it just gives me the name of the romfile instead of the title (e.g. "astorm" instead of "Aliens Storm (World, 2 PLayers....) and I just don't understand where I'm wrong.

Define your own language token (it can be even more than 2 letters, anyway it's only for internal use) and add your translation after the "IT | ...." lines. If you have questions please let me know, even if something is not clear in the English version (I'm not a native English speaker).

Also you can have a preview of the new options system here:

mixandmatch.it/AF/layouts/Arcadeflow_66.zip

bear in mind this is still in progress so any bugs may be still there :D

Oh the file is divided in sections, no need to translate everything, it will fall back to english if no translation is present

Thank you!

OK I'm on it but may take a few days. Gonna need to update my system as well and to test a few things to find proper translations.
