recently the question was here in the forum.
Can't find the thread anymore. Strange.
there was some code and a specific theme was mentioned here. can't remember.

thank you for your reply, but arent there a better cleaner and none autoit script method? maybe like something that belongs to attract mode or build in function?
attract mode seems to lack some basic features.....

please look through the threads. i didn't found it.

I already checked out the threads and google searched for hours, but I might have missed it... dunno... I was just super shocked that these functions such as in my 2 threads aren't yet implement in attract-mode already, like ages ago, that will make attract-mode 1 step closer to the ultimate front end!!!

The thing I'm looking for is exactly as you mentioned "there was some code and a specific theme" such implementation sound perfect! I'm looking for that code that can be added to attract-mode

[hermine.potter]

found it (nearly). but i was wrong with theme and code.
somebody told for the emulator duckstation. Here
and the code wasn't for AM itself. it was a AHK script.

Since you are not happy about such solutions ("horrible methods", "dodgy 3rd party software", "buggy aswell", "not even working"):

AM is opensource & the stage is yours

The reason I'm asking for these things are that 10yr old kids will be playing on an arcade machine in public running attract mode and mame on 2 cabinets..

I assigned player start 1 and 2, that needs to be pressed at the same time, in the hot key exit feature in AM settings, that seems to be working out okay..

squirrel is not my language. So here workaround with autoit
