Lost ability to hold next game button

[keilmillerjr]

Default behavior is to hold next or previous game button and it will keep cycling through games. I am on mac os x running precompiled attract 2.5.1. Now all of a sudden, holding the next or previous game key only moves the index 1 game. This action is regardless of what theme I use. I have had attract crash twice in the last two days. Restart attract would result in a black screen and only the debug plugin showing. Deleting attract.am corrected the issue. Also regained the holding key ability. Then it happened again. Didn’t regain ability this time. Not sure if the two are related. Ideas? I tried to see if there was a config gui option and couldn’t find anything.

Compiled latest from source and replaced app package, same issue. Perhaps its a config file issue?

Seems like a config issue, if controller/ key mapping is OK then "selection_max_step & selection_speed_ms" in attrcat.cfg is worth a closer look.

Interesting. Both were set to defaults in source (128/40). I tried changing them to zero, launching attract, then changing them back to default. No change.

Removed attract.cfg yield no change. Hmm...

That's strange, removing attract.cfg should return everything, including controller mapping to default. attract.am AFAIK only stores layout positioning data. This might be a bug in latest release for Mac.
