Capital letters for the win...  Changed things to caps and, well, it works.  Clear case of herp and derp.

Would you mind pasting the input_map section of your attract.cfg here?  Curious what that looks like.

General / [SOLVED] Multiple input_map key bindings

« on: May 19, 2017, 06:57:55 PM »

Have two player setup via an I-PAC, and am attempting to (as one example) allow both joysticks to move up/down the list of games.

The following is what I assumed would work in my attract.cfg's input_map section, but it isn't.

Code: [Select]

input_map
#       configure            Tab
        back                 Escape
        up                   Up
        up                   r
        down                 Down
        down                 f
        left                 Left
        left                 d
        right                Right
        right                g
        select               Return
        select               LShift
        select               w
        default             back
        default             up  prev_game
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Did some reading to better understand those files, what they contain, and how they worked together made perfect sense in the context of generating a romlist.

Romlist built with all the info I could ever ask for.

Thanks very much for your advice!

General / Unable to scrape metadata

« on: May 05, 2017, 11:45:39 PM »

Latest version of Attract Mode and I'm having some issues scraping metadata (Maker, year, game info, etc.)

I have the History plugin working just fine using a history.dat, and unless I'm confused I need to scrape for the metadata I want.  I've restricted the scraper to "overview" only, but the output list it writes is devoid of any actual game information.

Am I confused?  Is there a better way to get this data?

Code: [Select]

pi@arcade:~ $ grep -i "scrape" ~/RetroPie/attract/attract.cfg
scrape_snaps         no
scrape_marquees      no
scrape_flyers        no
scrape_wheels        no
scrape_fanart        no
scrape_videos        no
scrape_overview      yes

Code: [Select]

pi@arcade:~ $ attract -s mame -c ~/RetroPie/attract -i ~/RetroPie/attract/romlists/mame.txt
*** Scraping artwork for: mame
 - scraping thegamesdb.net...
