General / Folder/directory seen as rom????

« on: November 03, 2018, 10:30:39 PM »

Is it possible to get a folder to be recognized as a rom in attract mode? How would I enter that in the emulator cfg?

General / Re: How to get attract to detect game from cd tray

« on: July 31, 2018, 09:31:41 AM »

The main reason is...just because. Yes making iso's would be easier, and just downloading them would be even easier. It was just a "what if" thought. I feel like it would be a cool idea, just grab an old game cd, toss it in your drive, and have it pop up in the system. I wanted to do it that way as if it was a console. i understand i could manually start the emulator and run the disc, but was just trying to see if it could be done more like a console in the sense that the cd is inserted, click the game and play.

Obviously no one here shares that interest...lol. No biggie guys, just tinkering around, thought i would ask.

General / How to get attract to detect game from cd tray

« on: July 17, 2018, 01:34:47 PM »

So, my question is, how would i get a game to pop up in a system if i was to insert an actual cd into the cd tray on my pc.

So lets say i bust out my Sonic CD, i pop it in the pc's cd/dvd drive. how could i get attract to recognize the game...without having to scrape?

1. i understand i would need to add the drive path to the cd in the emulator cfg. thats easy, but i dont want to scrape the romlist every time for the game to show up.

i dont care if the title of the game matches any media...just something that shows in the sega CD wheel that a disc/game is present and i can click on it and play it.


Any ideas? Possible/Not possible?

General / RCPS3 Working, Launching games from RocketLauncher but error through A.M.

« on: July 09, 2017, 03:03:13 PM »

This is driving me nuts. I got RocketLauncher to launch PS3 games, Fullscreen, Perfectly. But when i try in Attract mode, it looks all good, until the rom starts booting, and the screen comes up for the game i get a second screen with an error. Please Help, ill try any ideas. It only does this in attract mode, i can launch the game from RL and it auto opens the RCPS3.exe, auto loads the rom, and i can play.

Themes / Re: Project HyperPie - RetroPie Image Coming Soon!

I just hope that it won't be the case with this release
Right Carl?

And the project has it's own forum - so hopefully it won't pollute AM forum with image-specific questions.

Thank you Verion,

We have been working on this for months and not rushing it for those exact reasons, we dont want tons of issues and having to fix problems, it will be as problem free as possible. I think some of the things we have done will make it even easier for most.

and yes we have a large forum and facebook group where we will handle any specifc questions.

Just like you say, we know not everyone will like its "style", but i think a lot will.

If you like those RetroFE themes, you will like ours. over 100 individual customized themes for every "system" and we will be more than happy to make ALL of these layouts available separate. but we are trying to get the complete image out first. The layouts will be released alongside it for those who don't want "Everything" or want more customization. The video he showed is not everything. There is a lot of thought that went into this project, and it is definitely NOT a re heated version of Floobs image, it is built from the ground up, we have also modified Emulationstation to include new "systems" and a custom theme as well. We definitely put a lot of time into this, with many little nice customizations, scripts, media..etc. There are lots of little things that we think make this image more profesional than all the random's people have been posting cause they want attention. The video is a little teaser, and you will see more in the coming weeks. You don't have to like it, but its something that all who are working on it are very proud of and we are excited to offer it to everyone.

Themes / help with controls on a theme

« on: December 27, 2016, 08:29:30 AM »

I flipped the wheel on a theme to horizontal, and i am wondering how to get the wheel to scroll left and right ONLY for this theme, using left and right, not up and down. I dont want to change the controls for the rest of the system, only on this theme. Right now it scrolls left and right, but only by using up and down on my controller. If i swap my controls, then my other vertical wheels go up and down with left and right. Any ideas? Adding custom controls to the layout? I have no idea how to do this

I love this theme!, i was wondering how i can use it as a "display's Menu" for use with the new display menu option, instead of using it just for launching nesica games, i tried to use it as the theme, but it doesnt pick up the menu wheel art, or snaps. or anything for that matter. any idea how i can edit it to do so?  I'd like all my system icons on the wheel, and system previews mp4's in the video section from "attract\menu-art".  maybe even the system logo in the corner. then have it go to the system instead of trying to launch the game

Is it possible to make this theme nested so there is a a main menu wheel where you pick the system, then it goes to the system wheel?

Is there a way to have this theme output the game title in some type of text instead of the "?" box for missing art?
