General / Re: Launching Windows games in Attract Mode?

« on: July 26, 2016, 09:16:49 AM »

Thank you for the suggestions, I will look for them and download as many as I can.

I tried the following (adding it to the general-section?) sadly to no effect:
"Edit attract.cfg > hide_console yes"

It was already set to:
"TAB > General > Window Mode : Fullscreen Mode"

This worked great for Frogatto:
-use fullscreen parameters of game (instead of window-mode)
some games uses their own parameters setting fullscreen & so it doesn't loose focus anymore
edit your_game.bat > your_game.exe -fullscreen_parameter_of_your_game

However, the games still reside behind AM (after a short loading screen surfaces and goes away).
Really weird, almost as weird as the fact that Spelunky Classic works fine but displays a crash box after having shut down.

It launches games and this opens new doors for the project!

However, attract mode stays in the front and is in the way, am I missing some setting or such?
Both Cave Story and Spelunky Classic act the same.

(Emulators work like a charm.)

General / Launching Windows games in Attract Mode?

« on: July 20, 2016, 09:07:19 AM »

Hello Attract Moders,

I am a beginner when it comes to using this great tool and I have a project going on for the kids in an asylum accommodation here in Sweden.

I want to use free to play Windows games and I am currently setting up Spelunky classic (feel free to suggest more to the list).
How do I do this?

URL to the game is: C:\spelunky_classic\Spelunky.exe

Other front-end GUI:s do not work on this Dell Dimension 3000 with Windows XP in 32-bit but it does deliver with Attract Mode.
I suspect this is alot simpler then it sounds but I thought I would ask the pros.

Thanks in advance.
