Themes / Re: How to copy Themes from one Attract Mode instance to another?

« on: January 31, 2017, 07:30:53 AM »

Hey guys. I think having similar problem and maybe you can help?  I used and image that had attract mode on it.  I set Retropie/emulation station up useing the new process where you put a folder on your USB drive (I run roms from there and the other main folders under Retropie there) called "Retropie-mount". It is on the Retropie wiki how to do it.  Everything worked fine as done this before, and when went to setup Attract Mode all worked well except only my rom names are showing.  There is no emulator videos, or wheel art, nothing. The main Attract Mode videos work and art is there, just not for any games.   Where do I find the folders to copy (and which ones) to put I suppose in emulator roms folders on the USB drive?  Or do I need to point Attract Mode in the emulators section for the flyer, marquee, snap and wheel to different paths?  Right now Attract Mode has each path set to: home/pi/Retropie/roms/"emulator".  I know this is wrong as the flyer, marquee, snap, and wheel folders are not in my roms folder on the USB drive.    I and afraid to move things around or repoint the paths as I do not know where the files reside currently on that image.  Can you help please?   Thanks a ton!

General / new "Retropie-Mount" setup to run from USB - no snaps or wheels showing in AM

« on: January 28, 2017, 10:46:29 PM »

Hi there.   I used an image to create my AM.  Setup retropie and emulation station using the new "retropie-mount" functionality to mount USB drive for roms and all other files.  Everything works in emulation station, and when I set up attract mode, everything worked fine, including generating the Roms lists (which games obviously on USB).   The one thing that will not show is all the snaps, wheels, and vids.  The emulators have games, show the name on the bottom of screen, but there is no artwork or vids anywhere in any emulator.  Do I need to change those 4 paths, and to what?  Do I need to instead copy files from the SD card to USB, and if so where can they be found on the SD card?   I saw something about copying, then deleting rom folder, then plugging in ROM.  It did not make much sense to me, and based on the number of roms I have I am reluctant to try.  Hopefully you all can help me out.  Thanks in advance!
