General / Should romlist generation improve?
« on: February 10, 2020, 11:27:33 PM »
I'd like to point focus on romlist generation logic, as it could improve maybe with no so much effort.
Since many emulators pretend a certain rom name to work properly, I have to edit the entry on romlist txt file by manually setting title and alt title, otherwise attract mode should display bad titles like "vf" (virtua fighter), "vr" (virtua racing) etc.
This is the case of m2emulator or supermodel, for example.
So my proposal is:
Let romlist generator scan new files and keep old ones as they are, on order to not overwrite user's changes.
What do you think about?

General / Re: v2.6.1 games list background image?

I think that is a layout related issue, so you should see inside layout directory and edit relative file.
You could first check if is possible to do from attract mode itself from layout options menu

General / Does attract mode support merged Romset?
« on: February 03, 2020, 11:56:15 AM »
I have a small mame Romset which have is organized in merged mode, therefore all rom's clones are contained inside zipped parent.
It appears attract mode doesn't support merged roms, therefore only files in directory are supported. Can you confirm this?

Now that link on gamesdb is fixed, I had some test on a few emulators.
Tried vice and mednafen first.
Vice seems to work, however game name is scraped and put on alt. Title instead of title, so most layout won't display it.

Mednafen:
Template script should be improved, actually default configuration is inexistent such scraping platform and engine.
Furthermore, I'm not sure but zip is not supported by mednafen so you have to rely on cue files which are not configured by default.

On Windows 10 tuoi can tell either to keep file when it's finished to download and either choose to run for anyway when blue screen appears, just click on link and continue

Are these nightly build really working? I can see from source that gamesdb endpoint API was fixed, but the nightly build still point to the old one therefore it doesn't work

https://api.thegamesdb.net/Games/ByGameName?apikey=035b376cf5769eca89325626f698702fb72bff15ef5d0451e1859bb7b6b854be&name=Save%20New%20York&fields=players%2Cpublishers%2Cgenres%2Coverview&filter%5Bplatform%5D=-1


Do you know if is there any nightly build planned for tomorrow?

As reported on the link below

https://forums.thegamesdb.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1223

dbgames.net API is current down, however a READONLY version is still available by adding V1 on the endpoint.
Example:

https://api.thegamesdb.net/v1/Platforms?apikey=035b376cf5769eca89325626f698702fb72bff15ef5d0451e1859bb7b6b854be

Why don't release an AM version with the new updated URL ?

Even better could be to support an external configuration file in order to make URLs editable.

What do you think about ?

General / Layout that support cabinet image?
« on: January 10, 2020, 10:41:30 AM »
As mentioned on subject, I cannot find any layout that make use of cabinet, it would be a good source to know how controller was made of (think about custom controllers of flight/ drive simulators).

Any hints?
