General / Re: WII LINUX?

« on: August 13, 2018, 02:46:53 AM »

It's necessary to start Hackmii, to install the Homebrew Channel this way:

a special game & a savegame exploit (old method; not longer necessary) or via wii pinboard exploit (letterbomb, bannerbomb, wilbrand) and WII MAC address.

there is a tool called UHG Downloader, to get the whole packet automatically (wii cios and so on).

After install homebrew channel, you are able to start homebrew like Wiiflow.

Wiiflow need a Plugin Packet.

Never tried to install linux directly

General / Re: Unable to launch MAME roms in AM - not a rompath issue

« on: August 08, 2018, 10:32:18 AM »

@ Joe737
windows and commandline got problems with spaces in folder and filenames.
Are you able to start game directly from commandline?

Code: [Select]

"C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Desktop\mame121b\mame.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Desktop\mame121b\roms\enter_name_of_any_example_game.zip"
Probably this works to you:

Code: [Select]

executable           "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Desktop\mame121b\mame.exe"
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Desktop\mame121b\roms"
Generate the romlist again

@ zlagos
risk of virus attack becomes smaller when data are outsourced? Not really. Sorry
With a simple dos commandline command you see all connected drive letters. and this is a easy peasy stupid dos command.
a simple virus or an encryption trojan is more powerful and complex. so this will be checked certainly too

Code: [Select]

@ mxstar1
you didn't ask my answer in post#3.
Is there a file on CD, or the name of inserted CD, thats matching to the game ID?
Check => tell us (I do not have a Sega Mega CD; so I can not test it).

General / Re: Multi Monitor not working

« on: July 19, 2018, 01:20:20 AM »

Finally figured out, how it works on Windows.

Maybe this is helpful to anybody who wants Multiple Monitors / Multi Displays / extended screen view for artwork / show marquee on second 2nd screen:
Tested on :
AM version 2.3 (WinXP, Win7, Win10) 
AM version 2.4 (Windows 7, Windows 10)

>this is my setup:


>settings in Windows:
-two displays (windows is set to extended view)
first display : Windows primary screen; shows AM
second display : extended; shows marquee artwork

>settings in AM:
-start AM > press TAB key > General > Window Mode > set to 'Fillscreen (Default)' or 'Fullscreen Mode'

-close AM

-start AM > press TAB key > General > Enable Multiple Monitors : Yes

-close AM

-start AM > press TAB key > Plug-Ins > MultiMon : Enabled

if something is wrong/not correct with your cable installation, you only see this window (maybe your cable is broken => check):


if everything is wired correct, you see more options. In my case I've chosen marquee artwork for second display:


>other layouts:
works with the standard layouts and own/user layouts too.
Tested with
cockpit theme

Announcements / Re: Version 2.4 sneaking in!

« on: July 19, 2018, 12:48:44 AM »

Thanks.
Tested on Windows 7 and Windows 10.
x86 and x64.
Works perfect.

short info:
version 2.4 doesn't longer supports native Windows XP/WinXP.
shows different missing .dll errors / .dll files not found
If you're using WinXP use still up to version 2.3 or look for special and seperate version of AM 2.4 for WinXP:
x86 / 32 bit here
x64 / 64 bit here

There is a list of game IDs for Sega CD.
But I do not have Sega Mega CD.
Maybe there is a file on CD or CD-Name match to this ID?

General / Re: In Emulation Station MAME rom Names appear OK; in AM it's using the .zip names ?

« on: July 17, 2018, 10:06:58 PM »

@ pibuilder
You're using an RPI?
I'm using a Windows System. But I think it's the same steps:

start AM > press TAB key > choose your displayname of mame (in my case : mame) > on 'Info Source/Scraper' choose : listxml > Generate Collection/Rom List

After this, I've got the correct names (instead of filenames)

And here are my display settings of emulator system mame

You mean the Mame UI (after launching mame.exe). Probably, here is a correct explanation

General / Re: Attract mode (HyperPC) can't launch any game!

« on: July 09, 2018, 05:15:21 AM »

your settings seems correct

I'm using zsnes for SNES

Generate your Collection/Rom List again:
start AM > press TAB > Emulators > Your Emulator > Generate Collection/Rom List > try starting a romfile

if not:
Download console version of AM from here > unzip > rename the attract.exe to attract_console.exe > copy this attract_console.exe to your AM folder > start it > start your romfile > you see any errors in command window

@qqplayer
please do not quote complete posts.

this should do it:

Code: [Select]

#include <Timers.au3>

WinWait("RetroArch","")
WinWaitActive("RetroArch","")

$starttime = _Timer_Init()
While _Timer_Diff($starttime) < 20000; 20 sec => 20 sec * 1000 ms => 20000 ms
    Send("f")
WEnd

General / Re: Starting Fusion 364 over Attract Mode

« on: May 22, 2018, 01:01:15 AM »

@KamikazeSAT
this is my config to start genesis romfiles via fusion:

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\Fusion.exe
args                 "[romfilename]" -gen -auto -fullscreen
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\roms
romext               .bin;.gen

Fusion supports another systems/consoles like 32x

or you just leave system:

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\Fusion.exe
args                 "[romfilename]" -auto -fullscreen
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\Fusion364\roms
romext               .bin;.gen

« on: May 21, 2018, 11:24:06 PM »

@qqplayer
I'm not using Retroarch. So I can't help 100%.

After starting retroarch.exe and aut3info.exe of autoit:
retroarch starts a window without any visible text (so cell of visible text of au3info is empty).


so you need to add a delay (sleep command).
the F11 key disable the mouse cursor, right?

so this should do it:

Code: [Select]

WinWait("RetroArch","")
WinWaitActive("RetroArch","")
sleep(1000)
send("{F11}")

you mix/mistake autoit with autohotkey.
they're two different languages, with different syntax

sleep command autoit
sleep command autohotkey
