You have to add order=##
See the example below.

Code: [Select]
</ label="cab screen", help="video = video snap, screenshot = game screenshot", options="video, screenshot", order=1 /> cabScreenType="video"; </ label="scanlines on screen", help="show scanlines effect on cab screen.", options="light,medium,dark,off", order=2 /> enable_scanlines="light";

You need to edit the am cfg file.

Post by: xbs on May 06, 2016, 03:37:44 PM: You just need to open the .cfg with a text editor and swap the order of the displays

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0-rc2 # display snes9x layout emulation_station romlist snes9x in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1 display fusion layout emulation_station romlist fusion in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1

Post by: akafox on May 08, 2016, 01:46:34 AM: xbs is correct.

Use your text editor that comes with your system..notepad for windows (NOT wordpad) ofor liux you can use gedit or leafpad..(even nano or vim) the emulators are displayed in the order they are in the the configuration file (using xbs's example):
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0-rc2 # display snes9x layout emulation_station romlist snes9x in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1 display fusion layout emulation_station romlist fusion in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1
you change it to this:

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0-rc2 # display fusion layout emulation_station romlist fusion in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1 display snes9x layout emulation_station romlist snes9x in_cycle yes in_menu yes filter All filter Favourites rule Favourite equals 1
so snes9x was first..however fusion now shows first.
Just cut and paste the config the way you want it to show
