General / Background (Ambient) Music Sounds Random Selection ?

« on: November 23, 2020, 03:11:58 PM »

Hello,

I have searched through this forum and have come to a dead end. I am hoping to either find a script or an option to enable that will allow attract mode to choose from a folder of music options.

I know there is an option of choosing a single audio file, but I would like that single audio file to be random.

Hello,

I first wanted to say this is an amazing theme and love the work you've gone to, in order to create this aesthetic.

I am currently using this on a raspberry pi 3 b+, using the latest updates to all software necessary to run attract mode, and have run into a few errors and hope reporting them will help you in optimizing this theme to it's fullest potential. I modified the application to the specifications that were documented by the author and placed all my cabs in the "boxart" folder in my ROMs folder.

1. I am currently running into the same issue and the previous poster, where when loading the theme the only background that will load is "retro" all the others give me a black background.
2. For any game that doesn't have a cab or "boxart" png to load, the layout seems to load alternative media, where this media is coming from I can't find, sometimes it looks like flyer art, sometimes it looks like screenshots, sometimes its a large image with the words "arcade" in the middle with the logos of many arcade publishers in the back faded. It never loads the base/default boxart image located in the layouts file.

I tried looking through the nut file but my lack of understanding didn't help me understand where I could update the file to help.

I hope this helps.

Edit: I did notice something that may help. When I exit attract mode i see an error that states: "Failed to create texture. It's internal size is too high. (2150x1728, maximum is 2048x2048)..." with some more dialogue.
