General / Re: How To add N64 emulator to Attract-Mode on RPi2 ?

Thank you for quick reply, but it did not work

I have tried with and without the space before "[romfilename]" and regenerated romlist but still just a blink.
SNES and NES have space before  "[romfilename]"

Here is a short video taken just now on how it does not work ;-)

General / SOLVED! How To add N64 emulator to Attract-Mode on RPi2 ?

« on: May 12, 2016, 11:23:53 AM »

Hello there
I have installed the "floob-retropie-attractmode-v03-02-MAY-2016.img" to SD card and tested these roms in Emulationstation mode where everything works:
PSX, N64, C64 and offcause I have NES, SNES and MAME but these works and are working fine in both Modes, Emulationstation and Attract-Mode.

In Attract-Mode everything works (wheel,Flyer,Marquee and video) except starting the games on the emulators I have added myself

Can anyone see something wrong and give me a hint on what to do next please?

here is my emulator settings under
HOME/.attract/emulators

SOLVED !!!
---------------------------
Finhead helped on the way by talking about spaces and here is what worked:

Code: [Select]

args                 0 _SYS_ n64 "[romfilename]"
there MUST be SPACE between 0 SPACE _SYS_ SPACE n64 SPACE "[romfilename]"

These are edited and working now !
