Hopefully gonna get some time soon to revisit these and also check out the latest additions to the plus code base.

There is also the DRIVE build that I will eventually get around to converting over.

At the end of the day, real life just gets in the way of things we like to do!

Emulators / Re: Extrcat one frame from videos

« on: July 25, 2022, 12:58:35 PM »

ffmpeg will do it and you can batch it too.

Code: [Select]

md screenshot
for %%g in ("path\to\videos\*.mp4") do (path\to\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -ss 15 -i "%%g" -vframes 1 -s 640x480 "screenshot\%%~ng.jpg")
that will create a screenshot folder, export a frame from the video at 15 secs at a size of 640x480 then save the image to the screenshot folder named the same as the video.
Change the size to suit etc

If you want to keep the correct aspect ratio, then use

Code: [Select]

-vf scale=iw/2:ih/2:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease:force_divisible_by=2 instead of

Code: [Select]

-vframes 1 -s 640x480

My playlist of my CORE Type R TITAN layout conversions to attractmode that I am working on as and when I have time.

CORE Type R uses the RetroFE frontend but that frontend is lacking in features compared to attractmode/attractmode+

Scripting / Re: How to add PCSXR emulator on attract mode

Quick glance online leads me to think this should work

Code: [Select]

executable           path\to\pcsxr.exe
args                 -nogui -cdfile "[romfilename]"

As requested, official mame 0.237 (its recommended to use official mame on the website too)

checksum errors are due to it being a modified rom so the crc values are not in the mame database

look my printscreen send me your zip   I wanted to understand why it's not getting the same as yours, your version is diferent ?  my version is 0.13

Looks like you have included all the original files in your zip as well as the changed files.
You don't add them BACK to the original zip, you create a NEW zip with the changed files only.
Check your messages, already sent you a link for my zip(s)

Yes, that game works fine in MAME (tested with 0.237) once you follow the instructions.

1. Remove the original rom sfa3.zip if you have it (or rename it)
2. Rename sfz3mix.zip to sfa3ud.zip
3. Extract sfa3ud.zip
4. Enter the extracted "sfa3ud" folder
5. Rename the "bat_sfz3mix_sfa3ud.txt" to "bat_sfz3mix_sfa3ud.bat"
6. Run the bat file
7. Add all the files (exclude the txt and bat files) to a new zip named "sfa3ud.zip"
8. Copy this new zip to your roms folder for MAME

Add to your romlist

look my video   https://youtube.com/shorts/MJoAfgOgYEM?feature=share


with your tutorial some success but now the game appears the red letters work ram ng and does not leave this screen

Can you confirm the contents of your new rom?

A screenshot of my rom (both before and after) and the game attached below.

EDIT: I'll message you.

Add to your romlist for attractmode

Themes / Re: The Great Themes Collection for Attract-Mode Plus [Beta]

« on: February 25, 2022, 02:45:47 AM »

Here another video from start to finish with the attract mode consoles open and I am not expert on reading the error code of AM + so I made a video to show you the command line showing on the left side and  AM+ Screen on the right side while I was setting up the theme for the mame emulator.

Here the video to show what is truly happening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ks86WSc6w


   Im a noob when come to figure thing out for AM+ but some how just wont display the theme anymore. I don't know how all this stuff work for AM+ reading logs

That video doesn't show an attractmode install?
Even for attractmode+, you still need the base install of attractmode as attractmode+ is just two exe files (main and console) and nothing else.

General / Re: segmentation fault on romlist generation

« on: February 24, 2022, 03:46:29 PM »

hi,

I compiled 2.6.2 version and it launches without any problem.

but when I try to generate romlist it crashes:

Code: [Select]

attract -b mame
*** Generating Collection/Rom List: mame
 - Found 9 files.
 - Obtaining -listxml info...111%
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried with diferent mame versions with same result, and I also tried to generate list directly from mame without any issue:

Code: [Select]

mame -listxml > /tmp/list1.xml
so I believe is related to AM.

any hints?

Create the listxml using the mame exe directly before you create a romlist from it.

Just tested it with 2.6.2 and MAME .241 without issue

If I use "attract -b mame" I get nothing but whether that's a linux/windows thing I don't know
