Is there an emulation station attract mode?
-
No, not the front end attract mode, an actual attract mode.
So, when I’ve had parties at the house or people over, since my pi is in a msh arcade1up cabinet I have put it on the msh rom and left it to the default msh attract mode. It seems to all flow really well and looks pretty put together and polished.
I’m going to be changing my artwork to the “versus” artwork I’ve been wanting. (All 1v1 fighting games).
Does emulation station have a mode I can use that will show the attract mode for all the different fighting games? Or really just the roms I have installed?
My first thought is to make a bunch of videos and direct the screen saver there, but I wonder if there’s a better idea.
-
@tackett1980 emulationstation settings > UI settings >screensaver settings > video screensaver. I don't know if we have any documentation on how to use it, though.
-
That’s kind of what I figured. I really just need a single nice video to play.
Any idea if there are any pre-made videos?
Is there anything wrong with just leaving a rom running all the time?
-
@tackett1980 isn't the beauty of the screensaver that it randomly shows videos from your library? so if you scrape videos, you'll get a nice random game selection.

sure. obviously uses more power and generates more heat.
-
yeah maybe better to look for pre-mades like game keys or something
-
Yeah it does and it’s real nice and is a great option for sure.
I think maybe I’ll go into a video editor and try to make a single video to use just for the fun of it.
