Title: Rename Emulator?
Post by: polyh3dron on March 27, 2016, 01:42:12 AM

I added an emulator called "Retroarch" without realizing that I should also add the core name as well since I'll have to make separate ones for separate cores. How to I rename the one I've made so that I don't have to rescrape everything for it?

Rename the file retroarch in the path attractmode/emulators to retroarch-nes

Do a search/replace in the attractmode/romlists for retroarch and replace with retroarch-nes

Hope this helps.

Thanks bionic, I thought it'd be something like that, but I'm actually using the OSX version (sorry, should've clarified) and when I go inside the app's contents, and then go to the config/emulators path there is no RetroArch file...

hmm...if you can enter the cmd prompt, terminal it might be in .attract

Someone using a mac will hopefully reply to you soon.

On Mac there should be a .attract directory in your home directory.  Your emulator config and romlist files should be in there....

I'm on linux should be the same....

if you mean rename as in the emulator name.. easy (Close AM down first before proceeding!)

Open your file browser...show hidden folders/files (a dot at the front makes it hidden ex .attract) Then in your .attract folder goto emulators in there choose a cfg file and rename it. (ex. MAME to Arcade)

In your attract configuration (start AM and press TAB under emulators your names should reflect your changes
