How to set up attract mode on a PC step by step

[progets]

That is exactly what does not work for me as u can see in the error above

! No XML output found, command: mame -listxml

Post your AM mame.cfg and let us know where you have mame installed.

I m using retroarch for mame :/ ... Do I need the mame program ?

Retroarch can't generate the listxml. You can use AM to scrape using thegamesdb.net to get the info or install the matching version of mame and do a "mame.exe -listxml > mame.xml" and then reference the file created in the "import_extras" line of the AM mame.cfg. Once this is done you can delete/remove the mame install if you don't want it.

That step should be included in this guide ... in details. Finally works as it should now.

It was not included because it was not written for that purpose. It was written from a raw single mame version. It was not written for people that use retropie on a PC..because I never knew you could do that at the time. My thought was why use a retroarch core for mame on a PC when you can use the stand alone exe which is more updated and runs better? Emulation Station using RetroPie can build a list from the games database (I think) (if you are off-line you are outta luck!)  Atrract Mode was not made that way..extra coding that was not needed at the time.
