Raspberry Pi Image for Pi2, Pi3 and Pi4 - with RetroPie

[matthewj]

I changed the attract mode exit key as a temp fix, but other buttons sometime gone through.

V.02 doesn't seem to have the problem. I made a fresh copy of it, added a few ROMS, and the games exit properly. I only tested a few, but it's working great. Will stick with this one for now.

[matthewj]

Same with me, v2 is working. Is it coincidence that when x was removed that this started happening?

[bkaz]

Probably not a coincidence. Hopefully Floob can use this info to fix the newer versions. Now my v0.2 isn't downloading any preview videos (worked fine on my other builds). It's downloading all the other images correctly when I run the scraper. Not sure why the videos aren't downloading... I did enable video downloading in the scraper settings. Any ideas?

[matthewj]

I don't use the scraper. I have all the artwork from emumovies.

[matthewj]

I know why I wanted to upgrade was that v2 crashes after a period of time. If you leave it running the screensaver starts by showing the snaps from your roms. If i leave it going over night it it at the prompt when i get up.

The error that shows is "xinit: connection to X server lost

I might have to swap out the ipac for a controller if I can't figure this out.

Any ideas?

I won't be able to work on mine until this weekend, but I was going to try to manually upgrade Attract Mode to the latest version. If that doesn't work, I'll do a fresh install and set it up from scratch without using these images.

@ Floobs can we see v0.6 with the to do list and bug fixes :-)

Hello

Can  anyone help me with mame?

The Roms dont start.

I download mame 32bit from here
http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=361.0

and put this file in //raspi3/bios/mame2003

I put my roms in //raspi3/roms/mame4all

Is this right? I found no manual for mame. Other roms works

[matthewj]

Noxx, what version of the roms are you using?

[noxx]

Mame0177b

[matthewj]

That's the wrong romset for advancemame. See this page for versions. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

So I finally had a little time to get my cabinet up and running. It's using v.2 and I only have a 60 ROMS on it. Mine occasionally ends up at the prompt in the morning. One of my roms has a video preview file that causes Attract Mode to crash. I've seen other threads here referring to certain video files crashing Attract Mode. I haven't gotten around to removing the offending file, but I know which one it is because when I scroll through the games it crashes robospin every single time I stop on that game.

So perhaps the screen saver is hitting a video file that is crashing Attract Mode. It might not be noticeable in later builds that have better/hardware accelerated decoding enabled.
