Title: PopupInfo plug-in
Post by: justintime on January 06, 2025, 10:48:56 AM

Here is a plug-in that will take a keypress and display game info ('overview' files needed), as well as Flyer artwork, marquee artwork (with flicker animation) etc.

https://github.com/guilleshop/ATTRACT-MODE

Notes:
-You must define your artwork paths for your emulator within AM. (flyer, marquee, etc.)
-You must use AM to scrape for [overview] files to be created inside your 'scraper/[emulator]/overview/' folder.

Thanks first, but I got some error. Please check. May be you need upload  'Inertia' module ?

Modules are not shared in the build. You need to download those from the sources.  A quick google will provide you that.

I'm afraid so.   I think there are some AM+ specific calls in there.

Yes, like fe.add_rectangle().
