Title: System selection menu help
Post by: unclewilly on May 11, 2017, 11:45:31 AM

Ok so i have a 5tb hyperspin setup.  Have transfered all my rom lists to AM and set up displays for all the systems.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up a system selection menu.

Is there an idiot proof step by step guide for doing this?

Any information or help with this is much appreciated.

That is helpful.
But I'm really looking more for something like hyperspin.  Where the main display lists all the systems and when you select one it takes you to that system display.
I know it is possible,  i just need a little more in depth how to guide. As AM. Is all new to me and quite different from hyperspin.

Configure-->Displays-->'Displays Menu' Options-->Menu Style / Layout = <your_choice>

The artwork needs to be placed in \<attractmode_dir>\menu-art\.

Thanks guys.  Figured it out.
Copied my whole hyperspin media folder to the layouts section now its picking up my myperspin main menu themes.

About a quarter of the way through adding romlists and making displays and emulators.
65000 games,  this is a lot of work.  Even using some of the hyperspin themes it runs 10 times faster than hyperspin
