One more thing, is the only difference in the 32bit vs 64 bit the attract.exe, or are any dll, etc different?

Thanks for the quick reply, so if I copy over attract.cfg and the new version adds more settings to the cfg it will add them if needed?

When upgrading AM, is there a way to easily copy over new files over existing installation.  I dont want to setup my emulators and settings everytime AM is upgraded.  Thanks for the new version, it seems to run emulators in Windows x64 better than before (ie altirra, etc)

I'm having the same issue.  Very strange as I got a shortcut to run correctly once, but now can't seem to get it to run altirra correctly.  1.60 works fine.  Hope this can be fixed with next version.

I have more information about my situation.  I have found a few other emulators that I'm having trouble launching and got me thinking.  I tried with AM 1.60 and they work fine.  I think it has something to do with the window mode under general settings.  If I set it to windows it sometimes works.

Is there anyway to turn on a debugging log or something.  (I like how you can see the launching window to see the command line when running AM 1.60.  Is there a way to turn this back on with 1.62

General / some emulators dont start riht

« on: January 28, 2016, 02:30:11 PM »

With my 1.62 under windows 10, some emulators such as Altirra 2.7, and applewin are not working.  It was working before (pretty sure) with older AM.  What happens is it just sits at the AM screen, but I hear the emulator running, but I can't task switch to it or anything.  Very strange.  Also a very strange thing, when opening up task manager I see that AttrackMode has been renamed to "Graphical Front-End for command line emulators"  Any Ideas (seems like video drawing conflicts)

Scripting / Re: fe.gameinfo

« on: August 28, 2015, 04:55:12 AM »

Works great, Thanks, your awesome!!!

Now how can I change a system logo, can't seem to find a way to change an image.  i'm trying stuff like

local emu_text = fe.add_text( "Emulator: ", flx*0.01, fly*0.01, flw*0.3, flh*0.03 );
local emu_logo = fe.add_image( "mame.png", 0, 0, 400, 200);

function selection_transition( ttype, var, ttime )
{
   if ( ttype == Transition.ToNewSelection) {
      local emu_name = fe.game_info(Info.Emulator);
      emu_text.msg = "Emulator: " + emu_name;
      emu_logo.name = "daphne.png";   
   }
   return false;
}

fe.add_transition_callback("selection_transition");


text changes perfectly, but the image does not change.  Any ideas on this one??  (maybe since its adding a static image it can't change, any other ways to do this?)

Edit:  got it by using emu_logo.file_name,    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
