Attract Mode running in background alongside emulator

[Triton220]

Hi all,

I've started setting up an attract mode system on my Mac (asking for trouble I know ).

I've run into 2 issues whilst setting up the Amstrad CPC emulator with Attract mode and Retroarch.

The first issue seems to be that when I load up Attract Mode and select Amstrad CPC then select a rom, the game loads up but I have no control over it using my PS4 pad or gamepad? I am using Caprice32...If I load the core through Retroarch and the rom file I can se both keyboard and PS4 pad fine?

The second issue is that once the game loads in Retroarch full screen mode....Attract Mose is running in the background and I seem to have control of it with my Ps4 or Gamepad because I can here the clicks and the menu music changing? so how do I stop attract mode still running and allow the Amstrad CPC emulator to take charge of my Gamepad/PS4 pad?

Does anyone know if I am missing some settings within attract mode? Any help always appreciated.

Thanks

In emulator settings, there is an entry called 'Non-Blocking Mode Wait'.
Try to set it from 1 to 6. Maybe it helps.
