General / Re: Wrong font in attract
« on: March 12, 2018, 06:22:44 AM »
You don't mention which layout so I can only guess the reason...

Seems like this applies to all the robospin-like themes. Forgot to link the thread: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1300.0

Thank you that was the problem. The font out of the nut-file is impact and after installing it, it worked fine.

But why is the font not included in the layout?

Could this http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2170.0 have something to do with these themes?

General / Wrong font in attract
« on: March 12, 2018, 12:09:18 AM »
Hi there,

I have the problem, that attract is using /usr/share/fonts/gsfonts/D050000L.otf as font for all robospin-like themes(I am using standard themes and those).
But it is in the menu, too. The question if I want to leave attract mode is written in that font.
I am not asking in the thread for the themes because it is in the menus, too and the themes don't have any option to change the font.

If you don't know it, that is a sign font like wingdings…

Config says:
        default_font         FreeSans
        font_path            /home/cab/.fonts/;/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts

I have FreeSans installed here:
/home/cab/.fonts/FreeSans.ttf
/usr/local/share/fonts/f/FreeSans.ttf

Why is the wrong font used? The option menu and all included themes are using the right font.
If I change my font, it only changes in the menu and in the included themes. The wrong font in the
if i want to exit attract-mode and the other themes stays.

General / Re: sdlmame romname instead of game name
« on: June 16, 2017, 04:22:03 AM »
Update:

Found out in every other list I am having(I create most of them using matches to filter the games I want) the name get's in. But when I update my sdlmame the name get's reduced to the short name. Is it possible for them to stay? no news on why every game is twice in the main list, though[BUT I have .zip and .7z... let me try to have only one perhaps that is my mistake… let me try something and put a shame on me).

The security is not in where the files are(in this case if you got a webserver or similar running on the machine you can't say this to every location). This is more about permissions and who you want the files to see/execute/write.

I did not compile mame myself. I am using the package from archlinux. Very close. Newest version 1or 2 days after release.

My PC does not know "mame" so I inserted "sdlmame" without the path. Sad to say that nothing changed after rebuilding the list.

well home /home/user/games/mame/roms is not where your roms are "user" is generic I don't know your user name and don't want to know (something you shouldn't share). User is where you put your user name if My login name is bob the my home path would be /home/bob/  or my mame path name would be  /home/bob/games/mame/roms I am just assuming you understood..or maybe i misunderstood. I was not trying to give you any false information.

If you want to know your FULL path in linux then you can cd to that directory cd games/mame/roms then type pwd what it spits out is your full path.

Sorry, but I am assuming you misunderstood. I repeat:  /home/user/games/mame/roms does NOT EXIST not matter for which user. It does not exist for any user. The full path is /games/mame/roms nothing before it. It is the full path and it is what pwd returns when you are in it. /games is under the root-folder!

I will try to change the executable and report back :)

/home/user/games/mame/roms/ is NOT where my roms are. That would be folder which does not even exist. I don't think giving folders which don't exist would solve the problem.
/games/mame/roms/ is and it is the full path. sdlmame can find them and I get a list in sdlmame itself.
I don't think that the name of the path should make a difference, does it? I can create a symlink if that helps
but some programs don't even know how to follow them(SHAME!)...
I can try to not import the xml again... But then it would be the configuration i had at the start of this thread?!?

And to answer the question out of curiosity:
/games is a whole other hdd I have all my games on. /home is a second hdd. This machine has multiple
hdds with different mounting points. /games exists on my system and is the right path!

Hi akafox,

I did all this. My new ~/.attract/emulators/mame.cfg:
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.2.1-50
#
executable           /usr/bin/sdlmame
args                 -audiodriver pulseaudio [name]
rompath              /games/mame/roms/
romext               .zip;.7z;<DIR>
system               Arcade
info_source          listxml
import_extras        /home/cab/emulators/catver.ini;/home/cab/mamexml.xml
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         $HOME/mame/marquees
artwork    snap            /home/cab/emulators/mame/snap
artwork    wheel       

After that I deleted ~/.attract/romlists/mame.tag and I still hat both, the name with the full name but under the full game list all games come again with the shorts… Nothing changed.

Please post your configs here on the forum not to a 3rd party....(security reasons) so that the info is here to view for others later on.

one thing  I can say to try is delete your list first...then create another one. Don't over write..delete the list then create another one..

the only info I need is your rom paths (the top half) of your mame.ini

If what I wrote is not what you need, what do you need? Did I misunderstand?

Shouldn't all games display wrong if I misconfigured it?

General / sdlmame romname instead of game name
« on: May 27, 2017, 10:46:36 PM »
Hi there,

I set up sdlmame and now I see that it seems like every game is in my list twice, once with the clean "real" game name and once with the name of the rom. I would like to have it with the real game name only. Another problem is that if I am adding those games to lists defined by my, always the rom name is shown and never the game name, no matter which of the games I add. How to change that?

Greetings
