Do you have a bigger image?


Looks like the correct directory to me, even should work as a zip.

General / Scraped Images wrong/missing
« on: July 16, 2016, 04:23:19 AM »
Hey,
First time I have tried a scraper, looks like it would save loads of time renaming files etc.
I scraped artwork in my mame section.

Some of the flyers/wheels are there but majority are missing or just show up as a picture of a nintendo DS console.

After going to gamesdb.net I can see this artwork IS there but was not scraped, how do i fix it?

cheers for the reply,
Enjoying AM with robospin in a racing cab after a full windows reinstall.
hopefully the frozen screen issue wont rear it's head again.

thanks for the excellent work.
Hopefully I can find a cleaner image but here is one from google i'm working on.
Marquee is still a bit dodge :)

:S I don't think this is the right thread,

Also, that doesn't work :(
My exit is set as a joystick button combo and the AM Exit is set to PgUp key.
Turned off all other programs/antivirus, changed console config, tried fillscreen and fullscreen.
changed all the exit keys, rebooted, re-installed...
No difference.

'True' or 'Yes'?
All the other responses appear to be yes/no.

Anyway, Still getting a frozen image/black screen upon exiting a game.
My OS is win7 32

This is the same issue. tried all the suggestions, switching displays or clicking brings it back.

This theme is swish! love it.
Is it a big task to change which way the wheel is displayed and the little rocket pointer?
If i can work out my freezing issue with AM, I have a stand up driving cab this would be perfect for.

Cheers.
Well I also tried manually updating display drivers on the other two machines with mixed results.
my laptop (lenovo) now refuses to show anything when you launch attractmode.
it now crashes, even the cursor disappears. you can get back and close it via the windows key... eventually.

The other one was vastly improved in speed by getting new display drivers, however it now does this:

I'm very new to AM myself but I did notice a couple of the themes can be set to display 'flyers'.
The images could easily be replaced in the relevant folder with some control panel art.
was thinking about trying this myself.

Anyone else care to share their personal setup/specs and performance?

Tried Attract Mode on 3 machines now:
Core2Duo Lenovo t8100 2.10GHz laptop 3GB Ram
Dual core 2.5GHz E5200 2GB Ram
Dell Core2Duo 2.9GHz 4GB Ram
all 32Bit Windows 7

All run terribly,
all the classic and console games up to PSX work fine on each system but the FE is slow as hell even with basic displays.

I switched to see NEVATO theme and it went from bad to not usable :(
What gives?

I made a mockup image with some placeholders of what I think you meant...
Wouldn't know where to start but what you said sounds like it would work fine.

Ideally I would have a couple of sub categories but anything which I could put in my cab to avoid us seeing or having to use windows. It just ruins the illusion :)

can you have a visible menu cross-hair type curser?

Took a look at 'autohotkey' and it looks like a bit of a steep learning curve so I may need some hand holding :)

hi,
No, unfortunately its not a cheap light gun. this is an arcade machine :)
Happ/Namco guns have an extra button or footpedal at the most.
The aimtrack guns work like a mouse (HID) and the trigger is essentially a left click.

What's needed really is a mouse click 'target' type navigation structure, but maybe with a target curser or a gunshot sound?

is there a mouse based theme I could start with and have a go at modifying it maybe?

Themes / Gun theme

Hey All!
First post, Glad I found this FE, looks like it will fill a gap that has existed for a while.

Anyway, I did a couple of searches and found nothing so far...
is there a gun/light gun controllable theme I haven't seen?
I'd like to try attract mode in a dedicated aimtrack gun cab :)

Thanks in advance for any pointers
