Themes / Re: Attract Mode Platform Categories (arcades, consoles, etc) finally figured out!

« on: October 19, 2017, 07:36:41 AM »

Anyway of editing what I already have in place? I have standard AM setup using robospin layout. I want the option of adding to the snes display a new section in were the roms are called snes hacks or simply hacks, clicking that option would bring me to all the snes hacks I have, Can one direct me on how to do that? I prefer the way I have my system setup and dont want to change my areas to arcades, consoles etc.

I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me. If I get to know how to work the snes section then I could do other displays also.

Thanks alot guys

General / Re: How to add sub menu inside emulators

« on: October 19, 2017, 07:16:54 AM »

I have looked into this. I am very confused as this option changes alot of things in attract mode. Basically I wanted to add a new sub section/category under the sections I've already created. As I have the usual emulator sections snes, nes etc I wanted to add sections in those sections (preferably at the top above the roms) with wheel art directing to snes hacks. nes hacks etc. I think if there is an option to start a fresh il give it ago but if not ill wait until the new options are added to AM.

General / Re: Create AM to ES and ES to AM as menu options

« on: October 18, 2017, 07:46:03 PM »

Basically I want to have the option of having both frontends as shortcuts to access each frontend. Main reason is  prefer attract mode and I boot into it but when the kids play after school I switch via terminal to ES because it's more user friendly for them. Also with the options to have kiosk mode makes it better also. Personal preference really. Could you help with what I am trying to achieve? Basically from the settings tab in AM I'd like the option to go to ES and from the settings area in ES have the option to boot to AM. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

General / How to add sub menu inside emulators

« on: October 18, 2017, 03:51:09 PM »

Hey guys, I've been searching the web and forums but cant find any directions or info on how to add menus inside a menu.
Example would be SNES display Menu that shows wheel art, obviously the art links to roms. I want to know how to add a link to another menu/sub menu that leads to a new section, Example SNES Hacks. With that having wheel art of my choosing. I read via google that it was implemented but I cannot find anywhere here on the forum with instructions. I have searched but nothing seems to pop up on the matter.

I would really appreciate some help or a link to instructions.

Thanks alot guys

General / How to add Attract Mode to retropie menu (To boot into Attract)

« on: January 26, 2017, 11:20:24 AM »

Hey guys I am fairly new to AM and have used Retropie for a few months. I've got the hang of AM and love using it, What I want to be able to do is run AM from the Retropie menu but I don't know where to start. Floobs image has this option but I kept getting errors. Basically I want to add a link to AM from the menu so it boots into AM and from AM boot back to Retropie if need be, can someone point me in the direction of how this can be done. I added an image below of the screen where I'd like to add AM as a possible option.

Thanks alot guys and hope for some help.
