General / add_ticks_callback cpu fan noise on windows

« on: February 13, 2020, 06:40:45 PM »

hi, in my theme I was looking for a code to put a clock on it. I found this solution in other themes:

Code: [Select]

{ 
  local dt = fe.add_text( "", x*0.915, y*0.003, w*0.3, h*0.05 );
  dt.align = Align.Left;
  dt.charsize = x*0.02;
  dt.alpha = 230;

  dt.font = "Geforce Light";
 
  function update_clock( ttime ){
  local now = date();
  dt.msg = format("%02d", now.hour) + ":" + format("%02d", now.min );
}
//  fe.add_ticks_callback( this, "update_clock" );
}

But for some reason in windows after 30 seconds aproximately I noticed the cpu fan noise too loud. Trying to find the problem in my theme I commented out the line that updates the clock and now no noise... but also no clock.

Is there anything wrong with the code above or in the implementation of add_ticks_callback function in Windows?

Also the same noise problem when running videos (already converted them to use lower bit rate)

thanks!

General / fan always turning on when playing videos

« on: October 13, 2019, 06:22:08 PM »

not sure why in my notebook whenever I start attract mode for every game that has a video the computer always increase the cpu and the fan is turned on. This happens only with videos snaps, if they are images nothing happens.

I guess this is probably something related to my setup, but I'm not sure what should I change in order to play the videos without increasing cpu and turning on the fan

Themes / Is there a tool to convert retrofe themes to attractmode?

« on: November 09, 2018, 06:40:13 PM »

I really like Ergo Proxy theme from http://retrofe.nl/SMF/index.php?topic=14.msg207#msg207

Is there any tool that I can use to convert that theme in an attract mode theme?

Or if anyone is able to code that would be great!

that's way too cool, I liked it. Where do I find the documentation for other animation options for sprites? In squirrel-lang site? I couldn't find anything

Sorry but I could not make it work. Where do I put the folder and the txt files for the games? What is the name of the folder? Is the system name? Could you please give an example? Thanks a lot.

General / can I have one marquee for all games

« on: June 12, 2016, 04:54:30 PM »

Probably a noob question, but can I have one marquee for all games of a system, like genesis for example? I want to display only Sega Genesis in the nevato theme. Do I need to have the same image for every rom I have in my list or is there a default one I can use? thanks a lot!
