General / Font displayed incorrectly

« on: February 22, 2016, 02:00:26 PM »

I put together a PC to put in my arcade machine, started using Attractmode, and I ran into a problem with fonts in Attractmode for some reason.

In the main menu the text is turned into blocks, but if I enter another menu, like settings, the fonts displays correctly. I tried changing fonts and deleting my attract.cfg, but neither fixed the problem.

I saw another user, matthewj, had the same problem, but he didn't mention how he fixed it.
This is his picture, which is what my main menu looks exactly like too.


My PC Specs:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
CRT Emudriver drivers (for Groovymame)

So I was wondering if anyone here might know what could be causing this.

Alright, I figured out what's going on and it's silly.

I've used my Xarcade stick before but I didn't load the xarcade cfg like I have now. Initially, It worked perfectly fine in a few games I tested and then I tried a Metal Slug game. That's when the controls changed and I would only test any changes with Metal Slug thinking it should control for the same game when testing.

Well, after looking in the xarcade.cfg I see it changes the controls for Neogeo games. So that's it, nothing is actually wrong its just that I didn't know it changed the default layout for Neogeo games.

Try parameter:
-readconfig

I know in my mame.ini I have readconfig set to 1 if that's what you mean. Are you referring to that or perhaps a setting in Attractmode?

General / X-arcade Attractmode issue

« on: January 28, 2016, 07:44:32 PM »

First time Attractmode user here and I got everything setup with MAME perfectly except I have this weird issue with my X-arcade 2-play stick and Attractmode.

If I launch MAME through Attractmode, the buttons for the players (but not the joystick or start/coin buttons) are all wrong and some do nothing. If I launch MAME on its own then all my controls are as they should be and work fine. I configured MAME through the INI to use the xarcade cfg for the controller, which as I said works perfectly fine with MAME on its own.

I tried changing a few settings dealing with the controls in MAME, but I can't figure out why this is happening. So I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem or perhaps knows how to fix it.
