Themes / Cartoon Network web circa 2001
« on: May 27, 2022, 09:22:07 PM »
So, i use attract mode to play flashpoint games, and 99% of them are from cartoon network so i decided to create this theme. The list on the left is the actual romlist, the name of the currently selected game is highlighted in white on the list and also displayed on top of the snap. The wheel can be turned off.
I created this modifying the "Vintage DOS" theme, which i didn't bother to even edit the credits out of.

Anyone interested? i can upload if you are

General / Re: change order in which emulator screens appear?
« on: November 29, 2021, 06:43:22 PM »
nevermind i found attract.cfg. There's probably a better way than reordering it on a text editor.. right? but i done it that way.
I understand "in cycles" means if it shows up or not when i touch left and right, but whats "in menu"??

General / change order in which emulator screens appear?
« on: November 29, 2021, 06:30:40 PM »
I'm always scrolling thru them all to find the one i want because they're in random order. I'd like to order them by console/portable or maybe chronological order, like NES, SNES, GENESIS, PSX, PS2 and such... how can i?

Themes / A few edits i've made of other people's themes
« on: October 11, 2021, 12:31:52 PM »
I dunno about the original authors or the threads where i've got them so i figured i'd share them in a new thread.  I didn't delete the credits from the layout.nut so that information should still be there.

I've edited a robospin_gba theme to give it a few more options (like using shaders on the screen, and swapping the background from a light to a dark color, and swapping the console from the classic purple onto the transparent one)
and then i created a bunch of themes for other portables using that base. There's PSP, wonderswan, neo geo pocket and game gear.

I also edited the theme "Vintage DOS", mostly to let the videos play as soon as you enter the layout, and also to let them loop after they're done playing once. I've also done some little cosmetic changes like how the selection looks, and if i recall corectly the use of shaders here was also added by me, original theme had scanlines.

hope anyone likes them!

Scripting / Multi-emulator setting?
« on: June 22, 2021, 08:49:35 AM »
I asked this on the themes subforum but i probably should've asked here.
Is there a way (AKA did someone come up with a plugin) to have more than one .exe in a single emulator? meaning, swapping between snes9x and bsnes inside the same AM "emulator".
I'd like to have the option to go back and forth between the two, i already have the savestates and such set up and working. All i need is for a way to avoid having to create duplicate emulators inside AM just for this thing.

sorry for spamming this across two subforums i'm excited about the idea

Themes / Multi-emulator setting?
« on: June 22, 2021, 08:42:05 AM »
I was wondering if it's possible to swap between emulators (say, bsnes and snes9x) from inside a theme.

Is this even possible? i believe the emulator settings have nothing to do with themes, therefore shouldn't be possible. But maybe there's another way? can anyone point me in the right direction?

i'd love to have more than one option to play games, since each emulator has it's quirks. I've already set up the saves to be shared between emulators, so that part is done.
But i really don't wanna create another "emulator" inside AM just to have the alternative, i'd like for it to be easily interchangeable within a layout setting or something equally easy

Themes / [Request] Game Gear themes? (individual link, no packs)
« on: June 20, 2021, 04:24:24 PM »
i've been scrolling around this forum for a while now and all the game gear themes are either inside a big-ass pack of 500mb, or it's links are dead.

Anyone has a bunch of game gear themes to share? I suppose uploading a single theme inside a .rar wouldn't take much time.
 I already have every other console set up nicely so i don't need anything but game gear, thus downloading a 500mb pack seems like a waste of space and time

General / BIN/CUE roms, how to "prefer CUE if available"?
« on: January 17, 2021, 02:15:23 PM »
As the title says, i have a particular game which i compressed from a cue with 20 bin audio tracks into a single bin+cue.
The game works fine with music (why i went thru this hassle) if i open the cue file, but NOT if i open the bin file.
How do i tell attract mode to open the cue if available? apparently it goes straight for the bin, and because many other games are simply bin files i can't just vanish the bin format from my romlist creation.

General / Re: Xinput "Home/ON/Xbox" button not recognised by AM?
« on: September 09, 2020, 09:15:24 PM »
yeah it's cool i've been using joy2key since a long time ago for other emulators with trickier settings and button mappings, i wanted to avoid creating another profile just for the exit button, but i guess there's no harm in that and it's simple enough

Maybe you need an external script / software to recognize "Xbox 360 Guide Button". Here

so joy2key it is...
As far as i've seen on that thread, AM only recognises basic joystick, no Xinput. So there's no workaround. I'll keep using joy2key profiles then. Thanks for the insight

I think a friendly layout creator with a GUI and a simple interface that any moron can use would do wonders to the ammount of layouts we get. And such, people will flock here because they'll be able to easily customize the frontend to their liking and stop relying on the same few layouts available out there

But is anyone around here skilled enough to code one?

General / Xinput "Home/ON/Xbox" button not recognised by AM?
« on: September 04, 2020, 08:55:48 AM »
I'd like to map that button as hotkey for ending process, but AM ignores competely my presses.
I've been using joy2key for this, since it does recognise the button, and i just map that to the emulators exit hotkey. But it'd be cleaner and easier to just do it from AM, if there's a way.

Is there a way?

General / Re: Mame not save Hiscore in Attract Mode
« on: August 22, 2020, 04:31:59 PM »
I would suggest not using working directory and using full paths to folders. I used to have issues like these when i first began using AM and doing so fixed everything
