your link is dead


Whoops... reconfigured the webserver the other day..



Fixed.

Didn't help, I tried removing the driver, reinstalling amd ones, and then reinstalling the crt driver, but no go.
I've got a different video card coming in, then I'm moving it to a different system and trying again.

(Going with a smaller dell, so I've got a low profile HD 8490 to try.)

General / Attractmode forcing 31.5k video mode with CRT Emudriver???
« on: June 07, 2020, 05:24:01 AM »
I'm trying to use attractmode with a windows 7 build with the crt emudriver on a 15K monitor.
My current issue, I've got my desktop set to 640x480 interlaced, but as soon as I start attractmode, it switches to 640x480 non interlaced.
Windows is set to Hide modes that the monitor cannot display, but attractmode is still forcing the wrong one.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, I had updated something else on my backend, so it hadn't updated since December. I'm currently working on it.


Update...... Working as of 2-2-20

Ok, libcurl is now enabled in the windows builds, and returns the same thegamesdb error as the linux version.

Hopefully after he updates for the new API the windows build should work.

Just tried a compile with curl installed, and it crashes with no error.

General / Re: Linux Compiling of AttractMode
« on: November 09, 2018, 07:03:13 AM »
You private messaged me 3 times, but No, I'm not posting a copy of my vm, it has other things on it.

I just followed the instructions from here.

http://attractmode.org/docs/Compile.html

I do recommend a 64bit version of linux.

I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04.4, cli only, no gui.

The first thing is the install and update the os.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade


Then install build-essential

sudo apt-get install build-essential.

and make sure git is installed

sudo apt-get install git

Then install mxe package.

https://mxe.cc/#tutorial


This is the hardest part, and probably what you are stuck on.
Also, compiling MXE takes a long time.

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autopoint bison flex gperf intltool libtool libtool-bin libgtk2.0-dev

git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git
sudo mv mxe /opt/mxe
cd /opt/mxe

make cc
make ffmpeg sfml libarchive

and for 64bit also do

make MXE_TARGETS='x86_64-w64-mingw32.static' ffmpeg sfml

And don't forget to add the path (Step 4) into your .bashrc file (it's in your home directory)


cd ~
nano .bashrc

now find the export path line and add the mxe path to it.
mine looks like this

export PATH=/opt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATHg


Press control x to exit and save .bashrc

now grab attractmode

git clone https://github.com/mickelson/attract.git

cd attract

for 32 bit compile using this command

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=i686-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1

for 64 bit use this command.

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1




This guide may have errors in it, It's been a while since I set this up myself.

Sorry, I haven't checked on it in a while..  :o


I was cleaning up the wrong directory in the build script. Things should be correct now. I'll check it again in a couple of days to make sure.

I completely understand and again, I'm very happy with what you are offering. It's very generous.

I'm only suggesting that you consider adding some specific straight-up copies of some of the source file directories to an AttractMode directory as well as the new executables before zipping (i.e. zip the AttractMode directory with the new binaries as well as the other directories required for a new install).

Examples of source file directory copies to your purposed "AttractMode" zipped directoy:
/attract/config/emulators --> /AttractMode/emulators
/attract/config/layouts --> /AttractMode/layouts
/attract/config/intro --> /AttractMode/intro
/attract/config/language --> /AttractMode/language
/attract/config/loaders --> /AttractMode/loaders
/attract/config/modules --> /AttractMode/modules
/attract/config/plugins --> /AttractMode/plugins
attract.exe --> /AttractMode/attract.exe
attract-console.exe --> /AttractMode/attract-console.exe

Take my suggestion with a grain of salt. What you offer today is great and I think it makes many people happy. If you have time and interest you could make your build a one-stop place to get a completely new AM build verses just an upgrade build. Of course any user could simply copy over the new .exe files to do an upgrade of their current system (at the risk of missing other feature that might not be within the .exe files (.i.e. layouts, plugins, modules, etc.)


Ok, done, the daily windows build includes all the config folder, and by default the windows 64, non console mode is called attract.exe


Still available at the same place.

I'm just compiling whats up there, it's the attractmode executables doing the creating.

So I guess, get the release, install using it, and then upgrade the attractmode.exe file.
