General / success w snes emulator via attract-mode in either Windows 10 or OSX?

« on: October 04, 2015, 10:49:44 AM »

Hi all,

I'm trying to get attract-mode to run a snes emulator alongside my existing MAME setup. My main setup is in OSX and it runs amazingly. However, I have yet to get any snes emulator to load through attract-mode, even though I can load roms directly from Terminal through the command:

open -a snes9x.app roms/mk.zip

However, I cannot get any sort of success with running snes9x or zsnes through attract-mode on OSX?

I tried last night to get attract-mode to load snes9x or zsnes in Windows 10 last night, with no success. MAME works great in both.

(I have gotten some SNES games to run via snes-mess, but many games don't have compatibility like snes9x or zsnes).

If anyone has had any success please let me know, I need some encouragement or tips.

Thanks!

Emulators / Re: General OS X (mac) help here

Does anyone have any success in OSX with emulators other than MAME? I'm trying to run any SNES emulator through attract mode, but have yet to succeed. My mame setup is working great. I can get snes9x to run a rom directly from the terminal with the command:

open -a snes9x.app roms/mk.zip

However, I cannot get any sort of success with running snes9x or zsnes through attract-mode on OSX.

I checked with Verion (a known OSX user) but he's only a MAME user.

I just want to get a multi-emulator front end working, and I love attract mode for MAME.

Thanks!

Thanks for the idea Verion- I gave it a shot, but no luck. Very cool to offer a solution, though... I will let you guys know if I can solve it

Bucky-

Thanks man... On initial start, what happens if you select a different game? Is there still no video unless you change something in options? I don't have OSX to test on but there are some other mac users here like Verion. Though, this is the first time of hearing about this issue.   

As far as holding down scroll, I'm not sure if I can do anything about that, but I'll look into it.

Thanks on both fronts. If I'm the only one experiencing the problem, please don't stress it. I'll tinker and let you know if I learn anything. To answer your question, changing games does not initiate video. Only changing a setting in the Layout Options. A setting does have to be changed, so if I enter the Layout Options menu, change nothing, and exit, the videos continue to not play. Once I switch anything (scanlines for example), the videos pop right up upon menu exit.

No worries about the scroll.

Thanks again for Roboskin in general. Its a showpiece for my friends and they all want it after they see it.

First of all, Omegaman- This theme is why I've been obsessed with AM for the past week. It's amazing. Thank you!

I'm having one issue, and I have one suggestion.

First, only with the Robospin theme, videosnaps do not run at initial startup. I hear sound, but just the static "static" screen shows. Once I go into the menu and change any setting, the videos begin playing perfectly upon exiting the menu. I'm on OSX. Again, videos start perfectly in other themes.

The only suggestion that I would make for a future revision, is that when I hold to scroll on the wheel it stops at the last game rather than continuing.
