Emulators / Re: Argument for games Radio Shack TRS-80 ?

« on: September 28, 2019, 02:41:34 AM »

Hi! Try starting a romfile from commandline with parameters.
After then, you have to split it to attractmode arguments (executable, arguments, rompath, romextension, and so on)

Don't have PCEngine to test. So tested on zsnes again:

Code: [Select]

Ranma ½ - Datou, Ganso Musabetsu Kakutou-Ryuu! (Japan).smcTested on Windows 10, AM Version 2.3.0, zsnes : works

Generate your romlist again, maybe it appears again.

General / Re: Help creating filters, specifically catver.ini help

« on: July 26, 2019, 11:16:10 AM »

Here

I'm not working with catver.ini, because catver.ini is not necessary for filters.

Just use and edit your romlist manually.

As an example to my OpenBOR display (in my case : C:\attract\romlists\OpenBOR.txt ), i want to filter games by category 'test'.

Code: [Select]

#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons
GoldenAxeLegends;GoldenAxeLegends;OpenBOR;;;;test;;;;;;;;;;
GoldenAxeMyth;GoldenAxeMyth;OpenBOR;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
HE-MAN;HE-MAN;OpenBOR;;;;test;;;;;;;;;;
Night Slashers X;Night Slashers X;OpenBOR;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Start AM > press TAB key > Controls > Set a button for 'Next Filter'

Start AM > press TAB key > Displays > choose your emulator display (in my case : OpenBOR ) > Add Filter >
name your filter (in my case : display_all_test_games ) > Target : Category > Comparison : eqals > Filter Value : test

Goto romlist (where you can starts the games) > press your definied 'Next Filter' button. AM shows the 'Favourite Games'-standard filter. If you don't have set a game as a favourite, you will see an empty romlist. If you have chosen/set a game as favorite, you will see your favorites.

If you press 'Next Filter' again, you get to next filter.
In my case : display_all_test_games (GoldenAxeLegends and HE-MAN)

@ Robert360
short info/hint/for completeness : you can add more than one display.
simply seperate displays by semicolon:
your_display1;your_emulator_display2;emulatordisplay3

« on: May 01, 2019, 11:56:39 PM »

@ vdfritz
>general:
AM & .lnk and .bat files here (see section windows_games)

>retroarch:
I'm not working with retroarch. google said that retroarch starts config-files this way (but as I understood the documentation of retroarch, it loads retroarch.cfg automatically?!):
Path_to_Retroarch\retroarch.exe --config "Path_to_your_config_files\your_config_file.cfg

So create each game a .bat-file with your correct config and settings, to launch a game via batch-file.

Create in AM an emulator with this settings (depending on your paths):
executable           C:\attract\EMU\RESO\reso.exe
args                 "[romfilename]" 640 480 8 40
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\RESO\Roms
romext               .bat

reso.exe supports .exe, .bat, .com

Tested something like this (with zsnes):
"C:\attract\EMU\RESO\reso.exe" "C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\zsnesw.exe -m "C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\ROMS\1.smc"" 640 480 8 40
=> windows crash. So I do not know how to use rese.exe directly.
Maybe you can contact the developer of this software, how to use an application with parameters.

RocketLauncher is not necessary to use AM.
See here starting windows_games via links-files and batch-files.

@gleegum
this is an external script for autoit. maybe it's helpful if you are using windows (thanks to Yashied):

Code: [Select]

#Include <Misc.au3>

Global $Pressed = False

While 1
    Sleep(1)
;44 = d on keyboard
;Button Overview : https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_IsPressed.htm
    If _IsPressed('44') Then
        If $Pressed Then
            If TimerDiff($Timer) > 3000 Then
                ;msgbox(0, "", "D three seconds pressed")
;Send Keylist : https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Send.htm
send("{ESC}")
;Exit
            EndIf
        Else
            $Timer = TimerInit()
            $Pressed = 1
        EndIf
    Else
        If $Pressed Then
            ConsoleWrite(Round(TimerDiff($Timer) / 1000, 2) & ' seconds' & @CR)
            $Pressed = 0
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd
compile it > start it with windows (autostart and so on) > if you press and hold d on keyboard for 3 seconds, it sends ESC. Script loops.

If you want running script only once/don't loop script, then change ;Exit to Exit (remove semicolon).
