Glad that I could be of help. :)

@BadFurDay said in Retropie - Attract mode question:

@darkmenace That setting should boot Attract Mode into the last display it was on before you quit it last time. You need to quit for it to work though, if you force shutdown or pull the power it won't save where you were. You should set a button for exit (not just back) and exit it from Attract Mode while on your Arcade display. If you then do force shutdowns or pull the power you won't need to do this again.

When you exit Attract Mode does it go to terminal or have you set it to shutdown?

Thanks again BFD. It is now working as expected :)

this should work

@jamietuley
It is possible to change the order of the emulator/systems in emulationstation, it is a rather manual process, from the command line
cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/
This file contains relevant system information for EmulationStation as well as the alphabetical list of systems.
Now you can edit this using nano recommended only if using the terminal directly accessed by pressing "F4" (type exit to begin emulationstation again)
nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
(Hold Shift to highlight, Ctrl+K to Cut, Ctrl+U to uncut)
or
through the network share by finding \\\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg
and using your windows text editor.

It is important to keep the enclosing brackets <system></system> intact when selecting the text to change the system order.

I would just skip attract mode. There are some pretty good themes in ES and you can still configure the order of the systems.

Pegasus FE is perhaps a better alternative to AttractMode

Can you add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ? What type of controller are you using ? You might want to switch to Emulationstation as frontend and configure it, since this will also generate a gamepad auto-configuration for RetroArch.

Okay, I'll see if uninstalling Emulationstation everything works properly for me or there are things that start to fail ...

@mitu sorry wasn't sure what that meant.

Thanks anyway.

Going to do a full flash and reinstall from the official image

@weirdh 😅 this pic is actually a week old, I have since then changed the monitor and the bezel..

@EpicFury Did you hit the Tab key in AM like @Walker843 suggested?

Do I understand you correctly that you mean by "find a way back to ES" to boot into ES instead of AM? I don't know Floob's image, but since it's based on Retropie, the frontend to start at boot should be in the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. To boot into ES, the file should (only) contain this line:

emulationstation #auto

I would recommend to backup the file first, though.

@mitu That procedure worked fine. underlying OS has been upgraded as well as the Retropie code. No need to re-install anything. I'm currently in deep testing of the image. Thanks so much.

@mitu again you rock!!

After watching the video in your link, I found where I needed to turn off the OMX Player. (even though he syggested it be on) It is off and now I see the video preview!!! Love it. Thanks a lot. I still do not see <video> tags anywhere though.

@astridrondero read the link / guidelines posted above (and agreed to when registering on the forum) and start a new topic providing the information requested.

@strauss48 Seriously man, NOBODY has any idea how this piece of crap you bought is configured! Wipe it, reinstall the official image and it will work. No one here has the time or inclination to debug someone else's shitty configs and build.

@vice86 said in Can an Attract Mode theme be made to work in EmuStation?:

If the theme can be made in Attract Mode, can it be made/work for Emulation Station or is there just a bunch of things I'm not aware of differences between the two softwares?

I'm sure some functions can be replicated but would require lots of manual work and wouldn't be exact. Pegasus would probably be better able to replicate it but requires lots of coding know how

@gpr17 4.1 is not the latest version, but I've not tested this on OSMC. I will need a complete build log to see the failure. I would recommend you use the last RetroPie image if you wish to use the experimental modules.

@mrrobot said in Deleted select key in attract mode:

Anyone know how to do this. Help

hi have you been able to try what i suggested?
