Themes / Re: Loading picture when I run a game

« on: April 12, 2016, 12:57:35 AM »

Hyperspin does this also, it's a cool feature. I have no idea how to do it. 

Using MALA I get this

I'll check it using AM.

General / Re: [Fixed] AM starts to launch MAME, says Loading Machine and then returns to AM.

« on: March 28, 2016, 07:37:26 AM »

omegaman, I think it was a problem with mame.ini not having the correct path to my roms. That's why I had to specify the rom path when I ran mame64 via the commandline. I updated mame.ini and moved my rom directory to a different drive. Attract Mode launched mame fine and the game runs correctly.

I don't think there is a bug anymore.

Thanks for working through it with me.

I don't understand why If you put the path
rompath              F:\Emuladores\Roms0151\ROMs
in your mame.cfg file, AM try to run the selected game using the path in your mame.ini file.

I am glad that it is resolved.
Greetings.

Have you generated the romlist for mame?

My mame.cfg

Code: [Select]

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0-rc2
#
executable           f:\emuladores\wolfmame-0151\mame
args                 [name]
rompath              F:\Emuladores\Roms0151\ROMs
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
system               Arcade
info_source          thegamesdb.net
[color=blue]import_extras        E:\attractmode\extras\mame.xml;E:\attractmode\extras\catver.ini;E:\attractmode\extras\nplayers.ini[/color]
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         $HOME/mame/marquees
artwork    snap            F:\Emuladores\wolfmame-0151\snap;E:\VideoSnaps
artwork    wheel     

To generate my romlist I used this from the commandline

Code: [Select]

attract.exe --build-romlist mame --full
Good luck!

General / Re: (windows)Front end starts emulator not the game

Take a look to this post.
Are you using windows?

You could do a snapshot of your mame.cfg file... (Check your paths in it)

« on: March 24, 2016, 04:01:24 PM »

I am an user of the Mala frontend.
In Mala is possible to see a picture when I launch a game of my list.

How can I show a picture in my window for x seconds before the game runs?

Thanks in advance.

I've three filters in my mame emulator: All, Favourites and Others.

Is it possible to assign a different layout for each filter? How can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

General / Re: Filters and rules

« on: March 24, 2016, 11:26:26 AM »

Sorry, I have solved my problem.

Code: [Select]

display mame
layout               traces
romlist              mame
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes
filter               All
sort_by              Title
filter               Favourites
rule                 Favourite equals 1
filter               Otros
sort_by              Title
rule                 Category not_equals Casino
rule                 Category not_contains Mahjong
rule                 Category not_equals Quiz / Korean
rule                 Category not_equals Electromechanical / Reels
rule                 Category not_equals Casino / Cards
rule                 Category not_equals Casino / Reels
rule                 Status not_equals preliminary

changin does not equal by not_equals.

Thanks.

Note: perhaps, it could be interesting that AM shows now_equals instead of does not equal.

General / Filters and rules (solved)

« on: March 24, 2016, 08:56:37 AM »

Is it possible to add some rules to an filter?
I've this in my attract.cfg file.

Code: [Select]

display mame
layout               gifAnimado
romlist              mame
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes
filter               All
sort_by              Title
filter               Favourites
rule                 Favourite equals 1
[color=blue]filter               Otros
    sort_by              Title
rule                 Category does not equal Electromechanical / Reels
rule                 Category does not equal Casino
rule                 Category does not equal Casino / Reels
rule                 Status does not equal imperfect[/color]

When I launch AM I can see next the games:

sstar;Super Star;mame;;200?;<unknown>;Casino;;0;;preliminary;1;raster;;;

or

m5supstr;Super Star (Barcrest) (MPU5) (set 1);mame;;199?;Barcrest;Electromechanical / Reels;;;;preliminary;0;;;;mechanical

or

suprstar;Super Stars;mame;;1996;Amatic Trading GmbH;Casino / Reels;1P;90;gambling;imperfect;1;raster;;;

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I can't change game while press up or down button from keyboard in this layout. Do you know why?   

I thought the problem was the path to my history.dat but I've changed the path and I get the same.

Scripting / Re: Display all videos randomly

« on: March 24, 2016, 04:50:15 AM »

I have some idea to create new theme. In a part of area, it can display all videos randomly. (like as screen saver but not a full screen) Anyone can provide script sample to me? Thanks.

I'm a newbie using AM but perhaps you could take a look to the code of screensaver.nut
In your theme you could add a surface and add a video on it.

Themes / Moving image every x ms

« on: March 23, 2016, 10:49:55 AM »

I would like to move my image every x ms.
When my theme starts my image is animated.

I use this code

Code: [Select]

local logo = fe.add_image("LogoAS.png", 400, -5, 432, 220 );
animation.add( PropertyAnimation(logo, { property = "y", start = 800, end = logo.y, tween = Tween.Bounce, time = 7500} ) );

I wish my image animation start again when 30 seconds have passed. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.
