General / Re: Attract mode SHELL START !!!

Hey folks - I tried hermine.potter's method with a .bat file and it worked! OK so it's not ideal having the little DOS window come up but I can live it. For anyone else struggling with this, I highly recommend hermine.potter's post further up this thread. Thanks!

Note: I did this without using the shell creator program and used the Windows 10 Enterprise 'Locked Down' settings to prevent all the sign in and welcome screens from Windows showing after boot.

Hey folks. I'm also trying without any success to get this to work.

My issue seems to be that even using the above Shell commands line, each time I restart my machine, it creates a new instance of the Attract Mode folder (I know those because I task man into Explorer and lo and behold, I have two Attract Mode folders). Here's my regedit entry

C:\Attract\attract.exe -c C:\Atrract

My folder (where Attract Mode is stored) is called Attract. I even got rid of the spaces (it used to be called Attract Man) in the folder name but still, no luck. I'm also using the Windows 10 Enterprise hack which means I boot straight into Attract Mode without seeing any Windows related screens.

Desperate for a working answer :) Thanks!

Hi - hope you guys can help. I have been able to get AM working perfectly when launching from my Windows desktop (everything in place, videos, artwork etc). I'm now trying to get my machine to boot straight into AM from Power On. I have been able to get this working but only to a point (using the Windows 10 Enterprise 'Locked Down' method).

Boot is a success, but when AM starts using this method, it has NO configuration settings preserved. It is as if it is unable to pick the attract.cfg and MAME.cfg (emulator). I have tried editing in AM itself, but none of the settings will save.

My question then, is, can AM only run in a Windows environment from the desktop (within Explorer.exe) and not act like its own shell? Any help gratefully received, this is really frustrating me :(
