Title: Little help for the noob... (Attract-Emulator-mapping)
Post by: gc9n on March 26, 2017, 02:53:29 PM

First of please dont mind the stupid question...

I want to make an Emulator Only for MAME in Attract , that it will open each rom with her specific emulator...

Details....:

i made inside the opt\retropie\configs\all\emulators.cfg a huge list with ROM + emultor
arcade_005 = "lr-mame2003"
arcade_10yard = "lr-mame2010"
arcade_1941 = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1942 = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1943 = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1943kai = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1943mii = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1944 = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_1945kiii = "lr-fbalpha"
arcade_19xx = "lr-fbalpha"

IN EmulatorStation > ARCADE > this works Flawless. when i choose the game the MApping works as it sould the rom opens with the emulator that i give in the cfg file.....
 

Now... inside the Attract i made the ARCADE Emulator that contains these

artwork    wheel           /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Arcade/wheel



Ofcurse this wont play..  i guess that this technique (for emulator-attract) is made for 1 to many..1 emulator many games.

That setup will work fine in Attract-Mode once you correct your argument line. Linux is case sensitive so you'll also need to change "Arcade" to "arcade" when referring to the rom folder.

Here's your config.
