I especially like the center box being larger (in the middle bottom).

« on: April 01, 2016, 08:31:33 PM »
Well, thanks for trying. I've only used it to run a command that is in the system path...maybe if the executable is in the path you launched attractmode from it would work....

This might help:

system("command.exe");

General / index files created from history.dat
« on: March 29, 2016, 07:27:36 PM »
What determines which history.idx file is checked? I was wondering if a non-mess emulator could access that idx to display the history information.

Yes, I'm excited to see some themes for vertical!
Of course I've added fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=true; to test out many of the other themes so they look good (but have black space on borders).
Enjoy your day.

Rename the file retroarch in the path attractmode/emulators to retroarch-nes
Do a search/replace in the attractmode/romlists for retroarch and replace with retroarch-nes
___
Hope this helps.

Thinking out loud:
I'm want to use the zoom feature on my magazine template so when a button is hit to display game info (history.dat) it zooms in on the notepad, and then displays the text. That's why I want to make the center of the zoom a specific x/y coordinate.
In the meantime I will come up with something else...

Thanks...I've got the code working to display text only while holding the button...now just to have it to improve history text wrapping and find a spot I like for the display...hopefully I can update the magazine template tonight.
I used the forum about popup image plugin to find the sample code.

Thanks for the reply.
I have the custom1 in the cfg file set to Z.
I believe I was initially using true with quotes...
Now to get the text to remove when the button is not pressed...

if (3>2)
{ x code
}
works fine.
if (fe.get_input_state("Custom1")==true)
{ x code
}
x code never executes (even though I have Custom1 configured in controls and am pressing the selected button.
What am I overlooking?

akafox,
When I view the history.dat file available here: http://www.arcade-history.com/?page=download it includes consoles.
The $info=romname works, but the romnames are so far off from what are generated for consoles when I use the system it only seems accurate for mame entries...maybe there is a workaround, or a lot of editing required to match...
