General / Running Attract Mode through Steam (RESOLVED)

« on: January 03, 2020, 05:48:13 PM »

I am attempting to run AttractMode through Steam as a non-steam application.

I am doing this so I can leverage Steam Controller profiles.

Unfortunately, when I go to launch any game it fails to do so, the log shows it running the command, but nothing happens.

Code: [Select]

- Working directory: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE
*** Running: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE\mame64.exe sokyugrt
 - Working directory: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE
*** Running: U:\Emulation\MAME_LOVE\mame64.exe s1945

When running AttractMode outside of Steam, everything launches properly.

Suggestions?

EDIT:
The problem lies within MAME, not AttractMode.  In order to launch MAME appropriately through stream you must use these commandline arguments.

Code: [Select]

-joystickprovider xinput -keyboardprovider win32

General / Filter vertical games MAME

Hi searching the internet I discovered a helpful guide(https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Example-filters#Vertical_SHMUPs) for filters where he uses this rule:

rule                 Rotation equals 90|270

Where is rotation defined?  If I use this with my xml/catver/player.ini it doesn't work because as far as I can tell no where is there a tag that says "Rotation".

EDIT: Nevermind I reloaded Attract Mode and it seems to be working now.  Maybe a conflict prior was causing issues.
