General / Re: Attract not launching again after adv-mame exits

« on: January 08, 2017, 04:06:42 PM »

Thank you for fixing it.  I am finally getting time to try it out, but not sure exactly how to proceed.  Do I need to clone the project to my floob v4 image and recompile/install attract mode?  If so, are there already instructions or any special folders I should do it in?  I figure I would clone it to /usr/local/src, and curious about special ./configure flags.

Thanks!

General / AM screen stays on screen when mame launched/running

« on: August 25, 2016, 08:41:35 PM »

Pi3, with this build
Jessie pi image
connect wifi
apt-get update
apt-get install dialog
compile sfml-pi
compile attract
locale, timezome, wifi country, keyboard
copy RetroPie/RetroArch files from floob image (mainly to get adv-mame and config files)

adv-mame launchs fine from command prompt.

When I launch adv-mame directly from AM, I can hear the game starting in the background, and my controls work to add coin, start game, and quit out of the game, but I still see AM.  If I use runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ mame-advmame [romfilename], AM seems to pass control or runcommand is able to take over the tty, as I would want it to.

Thanks

ok, for posterity, I had the problem when I followed the non X windows jessie pi compile instructions here
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-%28Raspbian-Jessie%29
But had done:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

I re did the instructions only doing:
apt-get update

update is required because versions of packages have changed since the package indexes were loaded in the jessie pi image, however it looks to me like a package that gets upgraded introduces a library problem.

General / Attract not launching again after adv-mame exits

Pi3, floob .4 image.  When I exit advmame I am returned to a command prompt with glGetError 0x500 above the prompt.  running attract gets me back in.  I tried both versions of advmame on the image, 0.94.0, and 1.4, both have same issue.  I tried libretro and c64/vice and attract launches again after existing those emulators.  I tried adding a 5 and 10 second sleep at the end of runcommand.sh to see if the error message was attract trying to get a resource that hadn't been freed yet, but same problem, just longer to get there :/    Any ideas?

Could you clarify what you did to resolve the linking error?  apt-get purge ffmpeg?
