Scripting / Possible to remove lower title display?

« on: November 04, 2017, 09:55:49 AM »

I am working on a vertical install and am running Cools and want to remove the lower title display as seen in the photo. Is it possible to remove this easily? It seems redundant given the logo comes up for the games with a snap playing in background. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

General / Accidentally deleted FBA from my emulators list

« on: June 11, 2017, 09:23:09 PM »

So I was trying to get my stuff to play nice (all ROMS in Arcade folder) and I accidentally deleted the FBA emulator from my list in the config menu. Is there a way to reinstall it? I am having difficulty finding an answer through usual searches. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Themes / Removing Text from bottom of Cools Theme

« on: June 06, 2017, 06:01:39 AM »

Hi there,

Am running AM with the cools theme on a vertical 4:3 CRT setup, and while I am quite content with my front end for what it is, the text bar on the bottom that shows the ROM name is a bit redundant. To add insult, the Mame.xml file seems to not be telling it to change to proper names. Either way, I got some work, and cleaning it up by removing the bar seems the cleanest final product for me...

...is there a straightforward way to remove the bar at the bottom of the Cools theme totally?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

General / Installing FFMPEG - Issues

« on: May 25, 2017, 10:44:13 AM »

Hi there,

I installed Attract Mode on my Pi3 and was enjoying it fine as it was. I read that the FFMPEG step of the install instructions was important, and upon checking my configuration, saw I did not have the option for hardware decoding. I read up and found the link to this page: 

https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-%28Raspbian-Jessie%29

Which gave me this:

Method 2: build FFmpeg with mmal support (hardware accelerated video decoding)

cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Problem is when I get to the one step (./configure --enable-mmal...) the terminal spits this back:

e-memalign-hack --enable-shared
Unknown option "--enable-memalign-hack".
See ./configure --help for available options.

Is it because I did do the "sfml-pi" step above the FFMPEG install? I was under impression I only had to follow the method 2 section to update, and then reinstall Attract Mode, no?

I have not found any other posts indicating the issue, and would like to know how to proceed. As I said, the addition of FFMPEG wasn't due to any existing issue, just wanted to have a complete build. Now I am kind of halfway and not sure what to do. Apologies if this is a mess, never dealt with posting code and such in a forum post. Thanks.
