I REALLY like the idea of using the flyer artwork to sort through your game library

It's similar to the same way so many of the movie media players use the dvd/blu-ray artwork etc, here's an example of mine for instance:



An equivalent for games which also shows a video snap of the game being played would be awesome!

The top LEFT half of the screen needs some work tho to look as polished as the lower half of the screen. I'd leave the box to display the video snap where it is but on the left I'd have a large stylised text box that displayed a little info about the game, story, release date, manufacturer etc.

Good luck with it Oomek

Hey recordguy42 - you need to edit the last number on this line of code in the layout.nut file of the Game Station HD theme:

local gametitle = fe.add_text( gamename ( 0 ), flx*-0.01, fly*0.805, flw*0.72, flh*0.1 );

I changed the value to "0.050" and now it looks perfect as all the games with long names now fit on the screen and are displayed in full:)

Does anyone please know what file and what line in particular needs to be edited if you want to change the size of the Large Roboto font that displays the name of the game in the lower left hand side of the screen?

I have quite a few games that are missing their full titles because the size of the font is too large.

Thanks in advance.

General / How to enable hardware video decoding on Windows PC?

« on: March 20, 2017, 07:19:09 AM »

Hi guys,

I've seen this question asked so many times by many users on these forums and yet nobody has ever answered it!!

How do you make a Windows PC use hardware decoding for the playback of gameplay videos?

The configuration menu only has the choice of 'software' which can't be changed

Can Attract Mode not be configured to do it, hence the lack of any replies?

Can Attract Mode only run in software decoding mode on a Windows PC?

PLEASE guys, can somebody post a definitive answer on this for everyone's benefit.

Thanks in advance.

General / Attract-Mode has lost ALL sound!!!

« on: August 25, 2014, 07:25:27 PM »

Hi guys, really hoping someone can help me with this.

I've spent the lost 4 days solid configuring Attract-Mode with custom videos, marquees, artwork etc and it was all working great.

I've changed nothing on my system, no new codecs, no updates, no changes to any ini files etc etc...

I started up Attract-Mode earlier and I get absolutely no sound from either the video files or the custom mp3's that should play when entering/exiting a game.

I've gone in to the settings and everything is okay, the sound volume is set to 100 but yet there's no sound when playing any video or mp3 from within Attract Mode!!

If I exit Attract-Mode and go to the video or music folders and playback the files from Windows Media Player they all play fine with sound loud and clear.

Something within Attract-Mode is muting all sound so does anyone please have any ideas or can recommend something to try to get the sound working again please!

Thanks in advance
