Please don't use links to rom downloads on the forum.

Sorry, it won't happen again. In fact, it was not a direct download link.

Ok I resolved.
By shell/prompt MameUi64.exe -cc
or your mame.exe -cc
It creats a mame.ini file in the same mame folder.

Edit it; at the line:
inipath                   .;ini;ini/presets

change it:
inipath                   ini;ini/presets

Good thing I could solve it. Thank you for sharing the solution.

I want, usign Attrac mode, Mame doesn't create outside the INI folder the ini files.

In the version I have of MAME, the same thing happens to me. If I set up a specific game, it creates a game file in the root directory and not in the "ini" folder, for example "kof94.ini". This happens to me, even without using Attract-Mode, it may be due to the general configuration of MAME ... I don't know. It is for this reason that I decided to modify the "MAME.ini" file for all games.

I started a fork of attractmode.

• Encourage more pull requests, especially with modules and responsive layouts
• Create member permissions
• Actively update a separate wiki
• Continuous Integration to automatically build all platforms and wiki
• Explore premake

I am hoping we can form a small team. Get a better understanding of attract (which is full of things I never noticed until recently) and improve it.

For anyone interested, feel free to view the following links and discuss here or on discord.

Very interesting keilmillerjr. Tell me, how could I help you? You see, it won't be programmed in Attract-Mode.

Someone can tell me how help for the missing games logo used in the Attract Mode wheel?
Thanks.

You could specify a little more. In which theme (layout) do you have the problem? Try sharing a screenshot.

Thanks for reply, but I don't understand.
I open the MemeUI.ini (I use MameUI64) but I don't see nothing about that you wrote me.

Thanks.

Oh ... Sorry, I use the ExtraMAME version because it already comes with all the bios included and updated. Anyway, what do you want to do with those files?

I'm making some minor changes to the layout:

1. I've decided to scrap logos and use current Display's Name, so you don't have to bother making logos.
2. Some roundness added
3. Some margin changes of elements.



Use a poll on top of the page to vote.

Multi resolution scaling is 50% done btw.

I like it! It has style.

Hi community, I wanted to know if anyone else had problems in MAME 0.214 with Street Fighter III: New Generation. I have the rom "sfiiiu.zip" and the CHD "cap-sf3-3.chd", the game works, but every time I start the following legend appears: https://ibb.co/2MxkKKD

I could find the problem with the CHDs (CPS-3) and the reality is that it was due to a version update. I leave the link for those interested or those who have the same thing happened and do not know where to get the files.

I'm using flat blue theme.

I know I can display year from romlist, but I want display it on my home menu and I dont have a romlist file because it's only console shortcut (snes / gba / megadrive/ ...).

Thanks for your help!

I know that subject. I understand that it is not finished in its entirety, since they had planned to place an information menu system for the titles. You can see the saved images, but it does not work. You should try to communicate with the author, maybe I can help you modify the code.

It is possible to do so, in fact, you can display any information contained in the romlist. The easiest way to do this is through a filter. What theme do you want to do it on?

I am confused because what you described is not like arcadeos. The frontend called advmenu is very similar to arcadeos.

Hi keilmillerjr

Thank you for your reply.

I have not used ArcadeOS for over 20+ years, but if I recall correctly the basic feel of the FE had a games list in the middle of the screen that you can scroll up and down to select the game, and every time you scrolled through the list, the full screen background snap of the game would be displayed.

In my case, I am after a modernised version of the theme, whereby you use:

1. Wheel art to replace the games list.
2. Full screen video to replace the snap.

In general, it is a very basic theme that I seek.

Question - is there a tutorial on how to create attract mode themes?

Thank you.

Regards
D

There is a program called "AMBuilder" that facilitates this task unless you know how to program. I have not tried it, but I leave the link for you to look at: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1729.0

You can also look at this part of the forum in which Scripts are discussed. You can check here to start creating your own theme: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?board=2.0

« on: December 05, 2019, 02:10:31 AM »

No problem and you're welcome. If you're still having issues and my information is not clear please let me know. I will try to describe it in a different way.

Very kind of you progets, thanks again.

I tried to do what you told me. I have edited the "Demul.ini" file, place two different rom routes and have even modified the "Naomi.zip" file so that it does not contain (in one of the folders) the Japanese region. But, nevertheless, the emulator automatically continues assigning the Japanese region by default. I think I'll have to wait until they release a US version of Capcom vs. SNK (capsnk.zip) or have two "Demul", one configured with the "USA" region and one with the "Japanese" region. I found another user that says what the problem is:
