PORTS game menu in Attract Mode??
« on: April 01, 2017, 07:42:15 PM »
I have it set up to where everything shows up. The snaps, the art, the .sh files to launch the Doom mods I have installed.... alas it does nothing when I select them to play.

Everything works great in ES side but I just can't get it to run without being on that side.

I have not seen much talk about PORTS in attract mode and I would like to get this problem solved ASAP or at the very least get this ball rolling.

p.s. I am running D4T, Project Brutality and Brutal Doom on every copy of doom ever released along with Heretic and Hexen. Runs flawlessly.

Do you have Attract-Mode set to "Fullscreen"?

Are your .sh files marked as executable?

Post your Attract-Mode ports.cfg emulator file.

Here's my attract mode ports.cfg file

# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.1.0
#
executable           /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
args                 0 _PORT_ "[romfilename]"
rompath              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports
romext               .sh;.SH
system               Ports

Your executable and argument are wrong.

You can try something like this:
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.1.0
#
executable           /bin/bash
args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports
romext               .sh;.SH
system               Ports
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    flyer           
artwork    marquee         /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/marquee
artwork    snap            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/snap
artwork    wheel           /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/wheel

It took a while for me to get around to trying it out but it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for your help.

Look out for my Doom for Pi pack on youtube.
