Scripting / [req] Retroarchievements integration

« on: August 22, 2018, 06:51:07 AM »

I think it would be cool to have Retroarchievements integrated into AM layouts.
For example in one of the corners (depending on the layout) to show which username u are logged in as + profile picture + total number of points.
And the more difficult one to have information from Retroarchievements per game ... for example show general info about completion like "xx%" and "Earned x of x achievements, x/xx points." and the ultimate it will be to show the actual archievements (those little images with name) on button press.

just thinking out loud

General / Fullscreen on 2nd monitor

« on: January 02, 2018, 05:46:03 AM »

I was wondering if it would be possible to run AM on full screen on the second monitor (just like retroarch) in full screen. Is that possible ?

Thanks in advance!

General / Romlists and game info

« on: July 07, 2016, 12:27:25 PM »

Right now when scraping game info it does not scrape the story/synopsis info for the games.
There is a place here https://github.com/billyc999/Game-database-info made by some people from HS forums.
The only way to get the story field into the romlists (the [extra] field) right now is to either make new .ods files and format them just like the romlist files are ... but then you will end up with more games than you have + you can't check easily what games are not needed.
As those .csv files have game info single line style it would have been nice if AM would pull that info from a local file when generating the romlist and place it into the [extra] field.

Any better ideas ?

Scripting / (R) Script that can read txt files

« on: March 15, 2016, 03:49:34 AM »

Well after I ve found out that the current history.dat helps only for arcade games to have synopsis/description, I was thinkg if it could be possible to make a script that can look into, for example  , .../scraper/nestopia/[text files folder] and find the right text file for the selected game when pressing a button and display it, just like the text is displayed from history.dat .

General / Scrapper and metadata

« on: March 14, 2016, 11:40:00 AM »

I ve got a history.dat from here http://www.arcade-history.com/?page=download , works for the mame games.

I ve added NES games and I used the scrapper for the NES games.
When I press H I get a message that could not locate the game. (NES)

How exactly does the scrapper get that data ? or if it gets it at all...

Scripting / (Q) Hystory.dat customization

« on: March 13, 2016, 05:30:19 AM »

Is it possible to modify the layout of the hystory.dat in such way that

1. determine a certain are where the text can be displayed (smaller area than the current one)
2. add a custom background that does not cover everything ( just a certain area) so the rest remains visible
2. add artwork image to be displayed together with the text ( box art for example )
