General / Attract Mode 2.1.0.exe vs. 2.2.1.exe MISSING RANDOM FEATURE

« on: March 01, 2017, 04:46:37 AM »

Hello Devs!

I miss an important Feature (maybe it was not on purpose) but it worked with Attract Mode 2.1.0(exe) very well:

Randomizing Videos or Boxart were i have diffent Intro Videos for one System or different Boxart for one Game/Rom (Europe, USA).

Example System Video: Atari2600.mp4, Atari2600..mp4, Atari2600...mp4, Atari2600....mp4
will randomize 4 System Intro Videos.

Example Boxart: Altbeast.png, Altbeast..png
will randomize 2 Boxarts.

BUT NOT ANYMORE with Attract Mode 2.2.1.exe

General / Attract Mode 1.6.2 + Demul BUG?

« on: February 14, 2016, 02:11:49 PM »

Since Attract Mode 1.6.2 Demul ("The Mule") won't start anymore 

It worked in 1.5.2 & 1.6.0 and i did NOT update Demul (same Version)

I run very much everything MAME, MESS, Magic Engine (with batch CD mounting), FSUAE for CD32, Supermodel....every Emulator worked.

but not demul... it doesn't start the emulator itself

/folder/demul.exe
-run=atomiswave -rom="[name]"
>did work in previous versions


If i write in a batchfile (start.bat): "demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=%1"
Attract Mode:
/folder/start.bat
[name]
>It works without an escape key


Any Ideas?

Sincerely

Mothra

General / Need Help with Filters

« on: November 20, 2015, 06:56:35 AM »

Hello!

I understand the way how Filters works (Mame lists and so on), BUT

If you use Filters for Filename (for example: Filename "Super Mario Brus. (World)", "World Soccer (Europe), "European Soccer Challenge (USA)".

The Problem is if i filter all PAL or NTSC (or JAP):

Rule name contains .(World)|.(USA)
Rule name does not contain (Europe)|(Italy)|(Spain)

Some Game is always missing cause of EUROPEan Soccer (USA)
The Filter does IGNORE "(" ")" only search for World, USA, Europe

Any Tipps?






FOUND THE SOLUTION MYSELF!
------------------------------------
On Github from Attract Mode...should be on the FRONTPAGE of Attractmode!
Write the Filter a little bit better!

No Intro Romset Filename Filtering (without XML, MESS)
 for the Megadrive (European Version) as an Example - 100% WORKING FILTER:

display   SEGA Megadrive (Europe)
   layout               Nostalgio HD
   romlist              SEGA Megadrive (Europe)
   in_cycle             yes
   in_menu              yes
   filter               All
   filter               Favourites
      rule                 Favourite equals 1
   filter               Europe
      rule                 Name contains Europe|(\(World\))|France|Brazil|Australia|Germany|T-En|T-De|T-Fr
      rule                 Name not_contains Genesis|(\(USA\))

Hello!

I want to show you, what's possible by mixing (orbit, particel effects)... a little bit of Theme Codes!
It has animation (boxart/wb/wg). Everything rewritten to 16:9.

I was inspired by Dr. Maxwells (Hyperspin Forum) Sega MarkIII Theme Idea.
