Try my Program. It was made to solve such problems. You can define a Exitkey and and Function to Close a Emulator. You can restart Attractmode when the Emulator was closed. And you can also restore the Resolution and Windowsize of Attractmode.
Try it an write if it works for you. Im German..Sorry for my bad English.

What do you think of this? I modeled it with CAD so I can change it and render it in different ways, it looks quite good but has no transparency at the moment. You think this looks realistic enough?

I could be wrong, but perhaps whoever created this “wheel” (a few different versions) is changing indexes tied to button presses? It’s probably not attract related. What module is in use?

Thank you for your reply.
I'm not sure what you mean but I generated all the wheels through AM's menu (Generate Collection/Rom List) and use the 'Cosmo Systems' layouts I downloaded from these forums. What do you mean by "what module is in use"?

Cheers

Attract only generates a romlist. The “wheel” is something someone coded in squirrel. Two different things.

Source is published as a zip, so I can’t examine it until tonight when on pc. You need to examine what’s packages in that zip.

Quick update on this, just in case anyone else ever has the issue.

I am using a custom Romlist, as I'm using the Nesica theme, which customises a few fields for the front end. For some unknown reason, Notepad seemed to causing the issue when saving the Romlist.

When I edited and saved using Notepad++, the rogue game vanished from the wheel. V strange, but glad it's sorted.

Without disabling UAC, you can create an elevated Scheduled Task runnable on demand.
I launch elevated frontend with

Code: [Select]

schtasks.exe /Run /TN BartopFrontend
It's a common way to bypass UAC for a specific process.

Elevated attract-mode launches also elevated sub processes.

Thank you for your hard work. AM is a wonderful front end!

There are two consistent bugs regarding the search function:
1. The game logo and boxart do not update after search:
- go into any system wheel where games are listed and search for a game. Then without moving the wheel, search for another game. The wheel logo and boxart are not updated and still shows the previous search result.
Example: Let's say we are in the MS-DOS wheel which has many games and I search for "Loom", then without moving the wheel, I search for "Warcraft". The Loom game logo and boxart will still be shown. Please see attached screenshot.

2. AM crashes if you search for a game in the System wheel (where only systems are listed).

These bugs where tested on v2.5.1 as well.

Cheers.
