      Hello all,

      I'm looking for a script that will allow me to switch between Emulation Station & Attract Mode and vice versa.

      i've seen some scripts that allow you to switch to Attract mode only,

      is there one available that will allow me to switch from Emulation Station to Attract Mode, and then from Attract Mode back to Emulation Station?

      any help would be much appreciated .

        oh diddly dandy, here we go.

        I'm not sure if this is possible, but one trick you can use is exit from attract mode and type in EmulationStation, but that's about it. type it like this: emulationstation.

          I love that introduction. Coincidentally, Diddly Dandy was one of the costumed characters my parents would never let me talk to when we went to Disneyland.

            @mediamogul I said that cause I had a lot of trouble with Attract Mode and RetroPie, which is why I'm starting to find some new frontends. But I'm still keepin' RetroPie.

              Well, with your permission, I plan to work it into at least three conversations before the week is up.

                  There are scripts for this in the Motion Blue base image.

                    thanks for the help,

                    are these scripts available without having to download the Motion Blue image?
                    if so where can i get them?
