Attract mode

[mitu]

@skiierfox86 You can install it from the experimental packages section of the RetroPie Setup-Script.

@skiierfox86 said in Attract mode:

That will install Attract Mode, instead of you doing it manually, and generate a minimal configuration.

@mitu
After I do all of that is there eny other further things I need to do be for starting the attract mode

[mitu]

@skiierfox86 I believe that installing it will add an entry in Emulationstation from where you can start it. If you want to start it automatically instead of Emulationstation, then you'll have to edit the autostart script and replace emulationstation with attract.

@mitu

[SKIIERFOX86]

Oh yea I meant to say this one more last thing now I did install the attract mode from the experimental package before in I notice that I go to the retropie setting in don't see attract mode nowhere so I wanna know how can I start the attract mode n what do I type to get it start it

[mitu]

@skiierfox86 To run it, just exit Emulationstation and type attract at the command prompt.

@mitu
Thank you alot bro...

[SKIIERFOX86]

So where do I go to auto started it n setup the script?

[mitu]

@skiierfox86 Edit the /opt/retropie/configs/autostart.sh file and replace emulationstation with attract, this will auto-start AttractMode instead of Emulationstation.

[SKIIERFOX86]

Thank you so much...u have been so much helpful to me

[SKIIERFOX86]

Ok I went wit the step that's /opt/retropie/configs/ now I don't see the autostart.sh at all what should I do now
