In your emulators folder find the text file for the system you added the games to.

It'll show a path to where the wheel logo's should be located.   You can download or scrape the game wheel logos and place them in that location.

Should look something like this: artwork    wheel          $PROGDIR/collections/Atari 7800/wheel

Themes / Re: Nostalgic Build, theme per system AM+

« Last post by zestful on Today at 03:06:32 PM »

Couple of additions since last update:

JVC X'Eye theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR_ITywyswc&ab_channel=Zestful


-Console has both CD's and Carts, and the theme knows how to behave for each
--CD tray opens for CD's, and stays closed when carts.
--Cart flaps open when Carts are inserted, but stay closed when CD's are used.
-TV channel cycles with game

This was quite a tricky one to pull off.   Big thanks to Oomek for helping me with some animation quirks which resulted from my sloppy coding & showing me how to more efficiently implement it too!

I'll probably look at making my own 3d carts in the future, as the ones from emumovies look flat as a pancake at this angle.






Last Played Section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2an06wPcJNA&ab_channel=Zestful

-Last played recorded for last 10 games played.
-Main screen video updates to show last played game snap for last played section.
-Nostaligic theme for last played section
-Around 150 system artworks created for the photo you see on the right of the theme.
-Game fanart, which defaults to a random generic artwork if no fanart exists for that game.

Good point, I'll rewrite the original post

Honestly, It was my fault not reading carefully but adding a more detailed description won't hurt

AM 2.7.0 is obsolete, from revision 16.2 Arcadeflow requires at least AM+ 3.0.6

Whoops, sorry,i didn't realize there has been a fork. When I've read about AM+ x.x.x I thought i was referred to AM version x.x.x or above and not the fork Attract Mode Plus.

Good point, I'll rewrite the original post

Can you add TeknoParrot in the next version

It will be released with 17.3 but you can already test it with the branch 173_wip, which can be downloaded from the "install from repository" menu
