General / Re: Could you compile AM on a system like THEA500 Mini

« on: July 15, 2022, 08:31:38 AM »

This is THEA500 Mini, it made by Retro Games Ltd who made THEC64 Mini, THEC64 Maxi and THEVIC20.

This is what its carousel looks like:

I am the creator of PCUAE, that you can run on them... https://github.com/CommodoreOS/PCUAE

All I want is a replacement to its carousel but make a theme in Attract Mode that the same as its carousel so very basic, so all I want it for is Amiga games and nothing else, no videos or anything, so you have a carousel wheel at the bottom with info on the game on the top left and 2 pictures of the game on the top right that it switches between them every 5 seconds, like THEA500 Mini's carousel.

OK thanks, I was manly worried about THEA500s 512 mb ram and if Attract Mode needed more...?, but I will not be using videos anyway, my plan was make a theme for it the same as THEA500 so you would not notice any difference.

Memory   512 MB
GPU   Mali-T720 MP2 @ 600Mhz

Hi I ay trying to make a layout for the C64 but I want it like the C64 Mini layout and this is the closes layout I can see,With the Wheel flyers at the bottom.

This is what the layout on TheC64 Mini looks like..



I never made a layout before..??

Is there a editor to make themes that you can download,not the online one..?

Themes / Re: I was thinking of making a theme based on 3D Arcade 10th's Carousel.

« on: November 19, 2016, 03:00:32 AM »

Maybe this would be better...Would anyone like a skin from 3D Arcade to be converted to Attract Mode Layout.

If not delete this thread please ..??

I was thinking of doing this one cos you can emulate a Vectrex in RetroPie. But will need a coder to do the wheel,I can do the rest,if anyone is interested.

General / BUG:AM 2.1.0 in Settings menu it jumps a setting..?

« on: November 19, 2016, 02:19:48 AM »

If you press tab it go to the Settings menu,if its highlight Display if I go up or down is jumps one setting and goes to next setting in the list,is this normal..?

So if I go in to Emulators and highlight Emulator Name in Mame and press down on my pad it jumps Execute and highlights Command Arguments,it only does it in the Settings menu and not in the games lists,they are fine.If I use my Keyboard it works fine,but I don't use a keyboard,only my Mega Drive 6 button control pad.If you need a video to see what I mean,I post one if you like.



Is this fixed in 2.2.0..?

How do you change the wheel to text only,I don't use wheel art..or can you make thewheel straight like this..



I might convert some of the skins from 3D Arcade..(this one is good if you can play Vectrex on the PI)

This is what the layout looks like on mine,I use composite.
