@omegaman

thanks, I will try that.
May I ask again, if there is way to find out, what version my robospin is?

Thanks

@omegaman

YES. That was it! Now it's working! Thankyouthankyouthankyou 

Two follow up questions if I may:

1. "Layout Options" are global, right? At least if I change one option in Atari2600 in changes in MAME as well. I'm asking because ergo it's not possible to have different Layout Options for each emulator (e.g. individual marquees for MAME, but just "Atari" marquee for Atari games)?

2. Is there a way to find out which version my robospin is? I didn't know that there was a new version....

Thanks again to everybody!

thanks, I just dared to compile the mame list, everything went pretty fast.
No idea why, but Atari 2600 takes ages.

The names of your "emulators" in Attract-Mode need to match the file names in ./attract/layouts/robospin/clogos/. You also need to go to Configure-->Displays--><choose emulator>-->Layout Options-->Enable Game Marquees and set it to "No".

First of all thank you very much for your help!!
However it doesn't work for me. First of all, I didn't have a directory "clogos" - is that right? I created it, to no avail. Shows a black marquee
Also, I do have two robospin dirs:
./attract/layouts/robospin
./attract/layouts/robospin-betanew
in which one does clogos go?

.jpg file is fine, right? Doesn't have to be .png?

Thanks again!!

Hi omegaman,

may I revive this thread, I have the same problem like omamez. When I turn on game marquees, the individual game marquees are shown according to the path I put in.
However I can't get it to work so it shows just the system. So if I choose Atari 2600 I want an Atari marquee (regardless of what Atari 2600 game I have selected), if I go into SNES I want the SNES marquee (again regardless of what game is selected). Where do the files have to be? And what naming standard do they have to be?

Thanks very much!

General / "generate Collection/Rom List" takes VERY long

Hi everybody,
I'm using my Rasperry Pi 3 with Attract Mode and everything is coming together nicely. Thanks for the tutorials and help here on the forum that I've been silently reading.
One question: I copied for testing purposes 40 Atari2600 roms to my Attract Mode. If I go to "generate Collection/Rom List" it takes about 2 mins. Is that normal? I'm scared if I have like 2000 MAME roms that it takes two days ....?!
Is that normal? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!!
