Xbox Game Pass Dynamically Synching into attract mode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9oPQEdglg

I got fed up having to load Xbox Game Pass and Attract Mode separately, so I've built the capability into my attract mode build, to dynamically synch with Xbox Game Pass, to load cloud games.

-Only shows current Xbox Game Pass games, when one is removed or added, this synchs into Attract Mode
-Downloads all media assets automatically for all games, for the theme (box, 3 screenshots, fanart)
-Dynamically generates the rom list each time.
-Custom made Xbox Game Pass theme for Attract Mode.
-Built in filters pick up game pass catergories.

New games section, I think this might be a first for Attract Mode: https://youtu.be/qsKPQPG7DVE

Dynamically detects when new games are added to the build and shows the latest 20.

SNK Neo Geo theme for Attract Mode +

I've went for a Rachid Loft style with this one, he's one of my favourite retro artists.  I think it's turned out very nice.

Amiga CD32 theme added

Features:
-CD tray opens / closes with disc insert animation
-See through windows showing disc animation
-Recreation of CD load button lights
-Top selling games on filter menu
-Alternative desk style (forgot to show on video)
-Related systems on filter menu (forgot to show on video)

Sorry for the lack of updates recently I was in a car accident and ended up with a spinal fracture, so hadn't been able to do much build stuff.   

Also fixed a wee bug I noticed while recording where if a filter was applied the correct top selling game wouldn't load.

Desk theme 1


Tray open animation, disk animates in


Desk theme 2


Filter overlay (button X), includes theme switching options, top selling games and related systems.

I think this was answered by tankman on the attract mode discord, probably better to join that: https://discord.gg/vzT9CX96cd

Code: [Select]
local shader_lottes=fe.add_shader(
    Shader.VertexAndFragment,
    "shaders/CRT-geom.vsh",
    "shaders/CRT-geom.fsh");

// APERATURE_TYPE
// 0 = VGA style shadow mask.
// 1.0 = Very compressed TV style shadow mask.
// 2.0 = Aperture-grille.
shader_lottes.set_param("aperature_type",0);
shader_lottes.set_param("hardScan", 0);   // Hardness of Scanline -8.0 = soft -16.0 = medium
shader_lottes.set_param("hardPix", -2.0);     // Hardness of pixels in scanline -2.0 = soft, -4.0 = hard
shader_lottes.set_param("maskDark", 2.0);     // Sets how dark a "dark subpixel" is in the aperture pattern.
shader_lottes.set_param("maskLight", 0.3);    // Sets how dark a "bright subpixel" is in the aperture pattern
shader_lottes.set_param("saturation", 0.1);   // 1.0 is normal saturation. Increase as needed.
shader_lottes.set_param("tint", 0.0);         // 0.0 is 0.0 degrees of Tint. Adjust as needed.
shader_lottes.set_param("distortion", 0.1); // 0.0 to 0.2 seems right
shader_lottes.set_param("cornersize", 0.01);  // 0.0 to 0.1
shader_lottes.set_param("cornersmooth", 10);  // Reduce jagginess of corners
shader_lottes.set_texture_param("texture");

video.shader = shader_lottes;

fe.add_transition_callback( "shader_transitions" );
shader_transitions <- function( ttype, var, ttime ) {
switch( ttype )
{
case Transition.ToNewList:
case Transition.EndNavigation:
video.shader.set_param("color_texture_sz", video.width, video.height);
video.shader.set_param("color_texture_pow2_sz", video.width, video.height);
break;
}
return false;
}
         video.alpha = 255;

stick the attached files (login to see) in the /shaders folder of your layout.   This is assuming the snap magic token is named as a variable called video

e.g. local video = fe.add_artwork( "snap", x,y,width,height);

Careful clicking link above from jakabasej8 he's modified it to include a dubious website.
