General / Re: Activating Teknoparrot in Attract Mode, for specifically Star Wars Battle Pod
« on: August 24, 2021, 01:43:38 PM »
@ gameroommedic
by pressing the Exit-Button, AM kills the program that you stored in the executable line.

executable           E:\emulators\TeknoParrot\TeknoParrotUi.exe
AM kills : TeknoParrotUi.exe

the problem with previous started emulator-UI / GUI is:
if UI/GUI closes, the games do not exit too (game still running).

>Different options (depends on emulator UI / GUI):


-Game stops with UI/GUI automatic

if UI/GUI closes, the game closes too.
depends on UI/GUI programming / coder.


-Exit-Button in UI/GUI:

Set Exit-Button in UI/GUI + Do NOT SET Exit-Button in AM.
if you press Exit-Button: GUI closes the game + GUI close itself + you return to AM.


-Set a after-script with taskkill / process-close / run after commands:

Use this plugin

use batch, autoit, autohotkey, whatever to make a taskkill / process-close.
close with this script your game.exe

like this:
Code: [Select]
@echo off
taskkill /F /IM "JoyToKey.exe"
taskkill /F /IM "notepad.exe"
taskkill /F /IM "myGame123.exe"
exit

-Set a before-script, that waits for specific key press:
use autoit, autohotkey, whatever to make a taskkill / process-close.

Uploading dubious .exe-files and not sourecode? :-)

I'm not using Teknoparrot.
Seems that this are the parameters in AM
Are your xml-files correct?
this plugin starts external scripts before and after emulator launch.

No idea where the error is.
Maybe MAME gets a wrong resolution from AM.
If MAME is started directly, it may read the Desktop resolution.
If Mame is started from AM, it may read the resolution from AM and also start this resolution in MAME.
Try the switchres and resolution MAME-parameter with different resolutions:

Code: [Select]
executable           C:\attract\EMU\MAME\mame.exe
args                 [name] -skip_gameinfo -switchres -resolution 640x480

maybe any plugins are not loaded?
what happens, if you start a specific romfile with Mame64.exe direct from commandline?

it seems, that the board blocks any batch or autoit code. or specific commands of them.
it already worked, because I could save the threads. But now can't save again.
are there some server security options meanwhile enabled? something like disable exec, shell-exec-commands in threads?

General / Re: 2 rom same name
« on: August 06, 2021, 01:59:25 AM »
by generating a romlist, AM removes duplicates automatically.
so it won't works.

find a unique name.

for example:
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1.smc
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1_(HACK).smc

Code: [Select]
executable           C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\zsnesw.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1;C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2
romext               .smc
exit_hotkey          Escape
OR

Try hardcoding romlist.

for example:
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1.smc
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1.smc

leave rompath empty:
Code: [Select]
executable           C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\zsnesw.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
romext               .smc
exit_hotkey          Escape
edit romlist:
your_AM_folder\romlists\your_display.txt

C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS1\Game1;Name_of_Game1_whatever_you_want_to_see_in_AM;ZSNES;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
C:\attract3\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS2\Game1;Name_of_Game2_whatever_you_want_to_see_in_AM;ZSNES;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

i think, your config-file is wrong.
please try fully qualified paths (static paths) before trying relative paths. i guess, you use drive-letter C:\ (fit to your drive-letter and paths):

Code: [Select]
executable           C:\emulate\zxspin\zxspin.exe
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\roms\zxspectrum
romext               .dsk;.tap
or use another emulator. See here Section ZX Spectrum / Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Please post your configuration:
your_AM_folder\emulators\your_displayname.cfg

what is the command to start a specific romfile directly from commandline/cmd/batch?
Example
