General / Re: help switching to linux
« on: September 09, 2018, 10:23:32 AM »
Just thought I would provide another alternative, Attract + Retroarch + several standalone emulators works excellent on Mac OSX, been building a few setups for a few years with nobugs or crashes that I can recall.

General / Launch Retroarch Bezels from Attract Emulator ARGs - Help Please
« on: September 09, 2018, 10:14:28 AM »
I'm trying to load a specific system bezel.cfg if the [name] bezel is not found.

I can load a specific Bezel via this args
Code: [Select]
-L /Applications/RetroArch.app/Contents/Resources/cores/nestopia_libretro.dylib "[romfilename]" --appendconfig "/Volumes/Roms/overlays/configs/NES.cfg"
I can load a bezel matching the rom name via this args
Code: [Select]
-L /Applications/RetroArch.app/Contents/Resources/cores/nestopia_libretro.dylib "[romfilename]" --appendconfig "/Volumes/Roms/overlays/configs/Nestopia/[name].cfg"
Can someone please help me how to amend the args so that if the [name] bezel is not found to then load the system bezel NES.cfg, have tried this and --appendconfig vice versa & not working.
Code: [Select]
-L /Applications/RetroArch.app/Contents/Resources/cores/nestopia_libretro.dylib "[romfilename]" --appendconfig "/Volumes/Roms/overlays/configs/NES.cfg --appendconfig "/Volumes/Roms/overlays/configs/Nestopia/[name].cfg"
Would appreciate if anyone can help, many thanks

General / Error, could not find default font
« on: August 25, 2018, 03:05:23 AM »
Running Attract Mode Version 2.41 macOS High Sierra, when starting Attract via Terminal, this error comes up - Error, could not find default font, I did add a line to a romlist via textedit app but upon checking it is all correct, attract fails to load/open.  Any suggestions what this error might be?

« on: February 02, 2018, 04:11:19 PM »
Remove the “-b” in command arguments

In Dolphin you need to do a few things

1. Launch Dolphin, in Options>Hotkey Settings, select your controller under “Device” then map the Exit Key, (right analog stick button works well)
2. In Options/Graphics Settings, tick Use Full Screens, tick V-Sync only if you have a low end or onboard GPU to reduce tearing.
3. In Dolphin/Configure/Interface, untick Confirm on Stop (Very Important

Happy days

General / Nintendo Switch Pro Controller anyone using one?
« on: January 29, 2018, 08:08:05 PM »
OS: Mac OSX

Really strange, I am able to map the left analog stick to left (Joy0 Left) & down (Joy0 Down) but not up and right, have manually entered them into attract.cfg as Joy0 Up & Joy0 Right, no luck.  in TAB>controls unable to to select either up or right when mapping.

All buttons can be mapped just not up and right on both analog sticks

Working fine during gameplay

Joystick Mapper app no go either

Any ideas anyone?

OS - Mac OSX

I'm running a "Generate Favourites" shell script and it works fine, but its running in the background and Attract is frozen during the 10-20 seconds it takes to complete.

Would be nice if it can run on top of Attract Mode and show the user whats happening maybe with Terminal?  Opening the script in terminal works perfect spelling out the process until completion

Any suggestions?

These are the configs.

« on: January 25, 2018, 03:07:44 AM »
This has worked well for me removing all unwanted roms from a full merged romset, tested on MAME 2014 0.159, providing the romlist you have is in the correct format with all the data

display   Arcade

   in_cycle             yes
   in_menu              yes
   global_filter

General / Re: Just the thing for my repurposed MacMini
« on: January 19, 2018, 05:30:35 AM »
Hey Brewski! :)

I'm also running Attract mode on a mac mini with MAME and it's real good! 
I have not tried Kodi with attract mode unfortunately, but I will look into it.

Has anyone with the mac based version of Attract mode been able to run any other emulators besides MAME?   I haven't been able to launch anything else besides MAME unfortunately, but would love to be able to run SNES & NES emulators from Attract mode. 

Hi Inkagnito, to add kodi, create a new emulator called Kodi
