Themes / Re: coming soon, nes-mini diffrent-take

« on: June 12, 2017, 03:37:19 AM »

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.....

whom ever makes anything..for AM  that is reused,,  over and over thanks.

Please dont get me wrong, i dont have any problem if someone use my ideas on their own themes (public or personal), but well i dont think that ruckage sees it in that way, i mean, he write some kind of copyright, that his theme is under development and you can use his images only for personal work and not to be used in public, maybe im very wrong and he just dont care because we use another frontend (AM), so dont copy me in that.

and yes, the idea to use some snapshot/videos (maybe in the lower carousel instead of the boxart) sound great.

Please keep the good work

Themes / Re: [WIP] NES mini theme

« on: June 10, 2017, 04:06:22 PM »

is there a proper way to set up the controls.. instead of guessing the way to set up. unless im missing something

Well im trying to use only 3 buttons and those are:
Select = select, launch game, add/remove games, any action in general
Back = back to the last screen (in most case back to the main display screen)
Custom (any from 1 to 6) = with this you change to the mode menu, disable the main carousel and you can only move in the menu part, if you wanna leave and get back to the main carousel, press it again.

I still developing this theme (most for fun and keep practicing with squirrel and AM) but the davbrac one is more complete than this ( and it looks better too )

I'm going to try another assumption, Did you suddenly turn off your pi?

I'm going to assume first that you are working with a raspberry pi and second that AM does not work with external hard drives (not without symlinks), only will work the plug and play thing in emulationstation and this is brand new

Themes / Re: Directory fallback?

« on: May 09, 2017, 01:20:28 AM »

Just put a default image in the root directory of your layout called like the folder where you get your boxart, for example if you put this piece of code>

m_wheels = fe.add_artwork( "wheels", 0, 0, width - 8*PAD, height - 24*PAD); // here you call your boxart

then put in the root of your layout a image called

wheels.png (could be .jpg or another extension really doesnt matter, the only thing that matter is that the name match the name of the directory from here you are calling your artwork)

hope that helps you.

PD. this should be in the scripting section, here is only for themes or layouts

Scripting / Re: Can't entry to game while add on_signal( sig ) case "select":

« on: May 06, 2017, 05:03:01 PM »

Well maybe i can give you another idea, try to dont overwrite the select case, instead use the default case

example

default:
         local previewClick = fe.add_sound("selectclick.mp3")   
         previewClick.playing=true 

hope this idea work for you Kent.

« on: May 01, 2017, 01:22:58 AM »

yeah, i have the same problem some time ago,

try to put this,

case "select":
         local previewClick = fe.add_sound("selectclick.mp3")   
         previewClick.playing=true   

         enable=true;

         return true;

its work with any variable non declare
