General / Re: AttractMode 1.5.2 debs

so this thread is great in helping me with my Advmame issues. I was able to get advmame working with the command lines posted, and almost full screen (changing display_magnify = auto), however it kills my USB IPAC2 once changing the keyboard mode to RAW :\ damn it! lol

i think this is the correct executable configuration, however like i stated above, it will not launch because of the file name including the path to the file name. Any ideas how to resolve that?

it looks like I am actually able to launch advmame from command line, however the issue in attract mode is related to how the ROM is being called. it seems with advmame, if you specific the path to the rom, I.E "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-adv/dkong.zip" advmame will tell you it is unsupported. However if you just put "dkong" it will work. Just need to figure out how to make the config file only give the name of the ROM and not the full path and I think it will work.

Finally got back around to look at this. So yea, I am trying to launch Advmame in AttractMode because it seems to have better support for the ROMs I am trying to play, like the poster above. But with no luck :\ Looks like someone says its a no go that sucks.

Emulators / Retroarch and Advmame with Attract mode

« on: April 21, 2016, 09:09:49 PM »

Hi everyone,

I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie and successfully running attract mode, however it is not configured for advance mame. I tried configuring it using the following settings and nothing runs, however everything runs fine from Emulationstation.

pi@retropie:~/.attract/emulators $ cat adv-mame-0.94.cfg
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.0.0
#
executable           /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch
args                 -L /opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/0.94.0/bin/advmame --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame-0.94.0.rc "[romfilename]"
rompath              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame
romext               .zip
artwork    flyer           /home/pi/.attract/scraper/mame/flyer
artwork    marquee         /home/pi/.attract/scraper/mame/marquee
artwork    snap            /home/pi/.attract/scraper/mame/snap
artwork    wheel           /home/pi/.attract/scraper/mame/wheel

All of my artwork is showing up as is my rom list, but the games arent launching, i switched the config file from the .rc to the .cfg file and that didnt matter.

any help would be great!

Thanks!
