Sub Wheel, different emulator!!!
« on: April 06, 2020, 11:02:42 AM »

Good morning all,

Is it possible to put several games in a sub wheel with a different emulator? If yes, how?

In fact I want to put the 2 mario gp and fzero AX in the same wheel but with a different emulator for each game.

thank you in advance

Yes, using the "@" symbol in the "Emulator" field of the "romlist.txt" tells AttractMode to load another submenu/romlist with the name defined in the "Name" field.

To use a different emulator for a game just modify the "Emulator" field of the "romlist.txt" to be the emulator you want to use. This can be done manually or in the GUI by using the edit game feature.

sorry but i don't see how adding just the name of the emulator, it can open in a folder or is the emulator, there is a path to put right?

I don't really understand ...

The emulator name has to match one of the emulators you setup in AttractMode.


Examples:

Emulator files /attract/emulators/<your_emulator_name>.cfg (Configure-->Emulators--><your_emulator_name>)

MAME.cfg (this file is for the regular MAME emulator)
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           \Emulators\MAME\mame64.exe
args                 [name]
rompath              \Roms\MAME
romext               .zip


MAME_RetroArch.cfg (this file is for the RetroArch MAME emulator)
Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.6.1
#
executable           \Emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args                 -f -L cores\mame_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath              \Roms\MAME
romext               .zip


Romlist files /attract/romlists/<your_romlist_name>.txt

MAME.txt
Code: [Select]
#Name; Title; Emulator; CloneOf; Year; Manufacturer; Category; Players; Rotation; Control; Status; DisplayCount; DisplayType; AltRomname; AltTitle; Extra; Buttons
Mario Kart GP; Mario Kart GP; MAME;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Mario Kart GP2; Mario Kart GP2; MAME_RetroArch;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
