Loading through retropie - Problem getting into attract mode
« on: March 09, 2017, 05:12:53 AM »
I loaded a clean new version of retropie, updated the load script, updated RP, loaded attract mode from the experimental menu.  I updated it as well, along with all other installed packages.
When I go into my retropie menu I don't get an option to launch into Attract mode.
I was able to load it from the command line, but I wasn't able to get any setup menu for it at all.
Is there something else I need to do to set it up?
I have all my roms, snaps and wheels ready to go.
Thanks in advance.

I just tried updating everything again to make sure I didn't miss anything and still nothing?  Any thoughts?

You have to change the startup command to attract instead of emulationstation...

I'll update with the name of the file that needs to be edited tonight.

You have to manually create the link in EmulationStation.

Here's a script that will do it for you http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1311.msg9542#msg9542
