You can setup and configure everything in Windows without the emulators installed (of course you can't play games this way) but you can setup your romlists, artwork, displays, layouts, filters, etc. You can even build it on a USB stick and use relative paths which make transferring to the Pi (or a friend's computer) easy.Įverything is portable/compatible in Attract-Mode between Windows and Linux except for the emulators (which aren't part of Attract-Mode). and any other modifications you might want, this is a great method to get all the pieces you need working. Floob has done a great job with his image but since you need your own artwork, roms, romlists, etc.

Build out Attract-Mode in Windows and getting it working how you like on a PC or laptop and then move it (in full or more likely by Attract-Mode subdirectory excluding "emulators") to your Raspberry Pi. Just a tip for those that aren't regular Linux users or are stronger Windows Users. The ones that he doesn't have installed are experimental at this point.

Floob provided the two best running and most compatible in his configs (mame2003 and fba-next). This is beyond the scope of this forum but there is plenty of information elsewhere. Chances are if a rom isn't working properly it probably isn't from correct MAME rom set or isn't supported at all in these versions. First make sure you have any BIOS files that are needed installed in the rom folder (neogeo.zip for example). Understand that each of these emulators uses a different version of the MAME rom sets. opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame (not installed in Floob's image) opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2010 (not installed in Floob's image) The other RetroPie Arcade emulators can be found in these locations: You can set up and use other emulators for MAME (or any system) but they will appear on a different screen since Attract-Mode displays screens based on emulators (RetroPie displays screens based on systems). RetroPie allows you to choose an alternate emulator for specific roms, to my knowledge this can't currently be done in the Attract-Mode graphical interface (it can be done from the command line but will require modifications to the list.txt file produced or rules applied to get it working as you've described). Your question about other emulators is a good one. If you want to do any of these you'll have the issue of not being able to have a poweroff option which can be fixed by pressing the "Tab" key and choosing "General"->"Exit Command" and entering something like "sudo poweroff". Another option is to change the where Attract-Mode starts by pressing the "Tab" key and choose "General"->"Startup Mode" and choosing a different option. This way you can always put them back if you need them (even if it's temporary just for maintenance). You can hide any menu from displaying by pressing the "Tab" key then choose "Displays"->->"Show in Cycle = no" and "Show in Menu = no". A better idea would be to leave the menu and just hide it. You can delete any menu by pressing the "Tab" key then choose "Displays"->->"Remove This Display". To touch on some of your other questions. Minor tweaks include, quiet boot, custom menu to choose AM or ES, preloading layouts and Kodi RetroPie setup script accessible within Attract Mode Video Manager tool pre-installed, but not configured Experimental version of Emulation Station with grid mode Full credits and author details in the readme folder Credits to and omegaman on the AM forums Stored under the mame-libretro roms directory Updated Emulators to use runcommand ( )

Advmame for example scaled only in software in X. This means runcommand now works under Attract Mode, and emulators that use SDL 1.2 can now be run with attractmode outside of X with hardware scaling. Recompiled AM with new SFML so X is no longer needed ( ) Setting correct aspect ratio for re-configured systems Selected new version of Robospin as default theme Stop white screen with X boot info showing Hide motd, rainbow splashscreen and raspberry logo appearing Added boot script by Shakz (to flip between ES and AM) Fixed keyboard hang (hacked boot delay) Added MAME controls.ini, nplayer.ini, catver.ini to help filters in AM Artwork directories created in the roms directories of the systems AM configs pre-configured to match most RetroPie emulators Shaders configured for RetroArch emulators
