Scripting / Dir path variable to romlist folder (PC) ?
« on: August 06, 2017, 11:46:31 AM »
I swear I've seen in documentation fe. Variable that is for path to attract mode. I've tried fe.data_path and that didn't work. I've tried home, but that defaults to c:\. I know this is simple, but I can not find it. I want to avoid manually entering a path to romlist folder in user config/plug in. Any help is appreciated. This is for PC not PI. Thank you in advance!

The cinematic vids are all created by James Baker. He makes them for launch box but just added his stuff to arcade punks and retrohumanoid is a great cinematic creator as well.

Awesome! Look forward to it! I think this is a game changer for attract mode! If you have any recommendations please let me know. I'm thinking about adding a "hacks" category too.

Pi plugin is added to link above. Move platform folder into your plugins folder and enable in attract mode. Good to go. Pc version will be added tonight

In each layout folder, ex: Atari 2600 put the console.nut in layout folder. Then editing the layout.nut. if you open up consoles.nut it'll show what to add. This is a temp fix until I get plug in up and working.

I added the fix. It takes a little time, but it works. Added to the link "Platform Back Fix".

That's the only issue I've been trying to resolve. I'm not a pro at coding layouts, but I was hoping that posting this here that an experienced layout creator may have a fix that may be added to layout.nut. I've been looking through documentation and have a hunch on how could be done, but not sure how to code it. I'm thinking that if a layout stored the previous display in fe.nv table as a variable, and on user trigger back button could call back that stored variable display. There is not much documentation on writing to fe.nv for me to try. It's a big step in the right direction, but not perfect yet. There are a lot of experienced people here that this may be a simple fix, but can get more of an overview.

The long behold question of Attract Mode Platform Categories has been solved! I have been racking my brain for months and after trolling the source line by line I finally found a lead and was a success. Only thing, which I don't believe will be a hard task for some of you very experienced themes is some sort of transition call back to previous menu. This is a huge leap in the right direction. Enjoy friends!

UPDATE***** Plug in created! Fully functional for all PC, PI, etc!
