General / Attract Mode Crashing

« on: December 30, 2017, 07:21:08 AM »

hello guys, i've been using the latest version of Attract Mode, and i configured 4 systems till now without any problems. But from now on, i can't use any option from the menu accessed from Tab key. Anytime i enter on any option will freeze the AttractMode (music still running), but pressing another key will give a crash message as below:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
---------------------------
Runtime Error!

Program: G:\AttractMode\attract.exe



This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Is this a bug or maybe my machine? I didn't have time to test on other machine, i thought about re-installing Visual runtimes, and even tried de 2015 one, but it did not solve this error.

Sorry if i posted on the wrong section, but i am not sure if this is a bug or a problem with m machine. Thanks

PS: I can use the systems and everything works there, my problem is just in the menu

General / Extracting zipped ISOs for emulators such as PCSX2

« on: May 31, 2017, 12:45:44 PM »

Hello guys, i've been using Attract Mode and i am really enjoying it, but i came from Launchbox/BigBox that have a feature that i am missing: extract games before open the emulator, but want find a way to solve.

I have a 2TB External Hard Drive, so as i don't have much space to store uncompressed ISOs for systems such as Game Cube, Wii and PS2, i have all of them Zipped, and they get extracted when launched and deleted after closing the emulator.

I was thinking about to create a BAT to use 7zip to extract, but im not sure how to point the file i want, then open the emulator looking for it.

I am just looking to make this for Dolphin, PCSX2, as them won't support ZIP files. Im not sure if a single BAT can make all this work or if im gonna need something more complex as AHK file, that i don't know how to use it properly.

I thought about Rlauncher, i think it have such a feature, but my sets don't follow their databases, so i was avoiding it.

Any ideas i could use?

General / Noob question how to show main/system menu

« on: May 25, 2017, 04:20:06 PM »

Hello guys, im trying to setup AttractMode, and so far, every emulator i tried is working perfectly. I even have my systems configured with artwork being displayed through the "Olroom theme".

Anyways, i have been trying to create "system menu" to show my consoles list, but i didn't find how to do it. I saw that is possible by the thread of Cosmo's theme, but i didn't find a way to create a list like that. How can i do that?

Right now, when i open AttractMode, i go directly to my Genesis list and i am just able to switch consoles through left-right arrows.

Just as one example, i would like to create a list like on this image http://i.imgur.com/SWqTyZDl.jpg?1

Sorry if this is not the right place for this kind ou doubt.

Thanks
