Any way to force exit after 1 game?
« on: March 11, 2015, 10:31:06 PM »
Is there a way to force emulators (specifically MAME) to exit back to the menu after 1 game is played?

Do you mean detecting the 'game over' state in mame and then forcing it to quit?

There is nothing attractmode can do to detect this.

Thanks for the reply.  Makes sense this would have to be in the emulator, and I didn't see a setting in MAME.

Quitting the emulator after a period of inactivity might be a more viable solution.

Sorry to bump this topic, but can attract-mode do this?

Not as far as i know. I'm sure a quick script would do the job though.
