May I know how to use the new ADB to only scrape metadata in ArcadeFlow?

In the scraper options you can select the metadata scraper to be "ADB Only", and then disable media scraping so that only metadata is scraped.

I see. Scraping takes a lot more time than simply downloading history.xml

That's true but the new ADB only scraper for arcade is blazing fast if you only need to scrape metadata and not media (because you already scraped them or you already have them). It's ScreenScraper handshake that slows down the scraper.

May I know how to use the new ADB to only scrape metadata in ArcadeFlow?

General / Keymapping mismatch - unintentional Shutdown

« Last post by Max_FS on January 28, 2024, 04:28:44 AM »

Hi all,

as I just switched to the newest version of attract mode I encounter a strange issue. When I press the key for "Exit to desktop" AM exits to desktop and also shuts down my computer. When using the previous version, the shutdown only happened when I pressed the key for "Exit".

Can anybody help?

Best regards
Max

General / Re: How to make the configuration dynamic and portable?

« Last post by mentat on January 27, 2024, 06:59:26 AM »

I have a config with a portable design on windows computer.
I use $PROGDIR for that. I don't use RocketLauncher, but you got the idea.
I have in a directory:
AttractMode/ <-- it's $PROGDIR
bin/
    mame/
and for example, my mame config in attachment.

I have an error if I copy my config between code tag. I don't know why...

General / How to make the configuration dynamic and portable?

« Last post by marcoriesco on January 27, 2024, 04:58:00 AM »

I'm creating a system with AM + RL and I'm having a problem configuring the RL, if I put the absolute address it works, but I wanted something more dynamic and portable. In the code below, how do I dynamically leave the "-p AttractMode -f attract.exe" part? I've tried everything... $HOME, $PROGDIR, ../ and nothing.

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.7.0
#
executable           emulators/rocketlauncher/RocketLauncher.exe
args                 -s "MAME" -r [name] -p AttractMode -f attract.exe
rompath              roms/arcade/
romext               .zip;.7z
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml

Hi

Looking to add xbox 360 (XBLA)  emulation to my setup, having some issues with the Xenia emulator.

Has anyone had any luck at all? Have the Args command they could share?

Thanks

Although now when I quit the game in Mame (Escape), the game closes, but Attract Mode does not come back.  It just goes to my desktop in the Finder.

Found the fix. 

I had to set the Non-Blocking Time Wait to 1.
Attract seemed to retake the focus from mame after the game started to launch.
