Attract Mode config for Sega32x and GameGear

[FB911]

Hi all,

Could someone please provide me with their configuration needed to add Sega32x and GameGear to the list of choices in Attract Mode?

Thx

ghostfur is correct if it is the retropie image...almost...
remember your path and hers/his will be different..
the default paths for retropie are

32X

Code: [Select]

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/sega32x Game Gear

Code: [Select]

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gamegear
What problems are you having..the retropie image should not need any configuration.

The emulators appear in Emulationstation but not as choices in Attract Mode.

I will try both suggestions. Thanks guys. I will let you know the results.

I'm using retropie 4.2. Where should enter this information? Create a new emulator? So many questions...sorry. I tried the other solution above and the issue remains. Strange that it works in Emulationstation.

Thanks! Everything works perfectly now. I will now try Intellivision using your procedure.

Cheers!

[jedione]

just a tip i use ..
iv become accustomed to just editing the "emulators> *****.cfg"
it quick and easy

[akafox]

I do too master jedi...however I notice sometimes doing that (via ssh on pi) it will sometimes not take. On a PC I'll do it all day long MUCH easier.

[FB911]

I learned a lot by playing with the config files.

I even added a new emulator (i.e menu option) which is called "help" which provides information such as keyboard and gamepad commands for all the emulators.

Thanks again guys for your help! Besides having some issues with NeoGeo ROMs, everything is working AOK.

Cheers!
