@Bluebotlabs thanks so much for the help 👍🏻

@jamietuley said in Starting again.. New Pi image with Attract mode more recent than Floobs?: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro Was that the right folder to place my roms in? They are from a 0.78 set - emulation station can see them but not attract mode? I can't help you with attract-mode setup, I'm not using it. I think you need to add the folder yourself and scan it for ROMs. I did wonder if the system volume at 0% was the issue but that's something that just wont save when I set it higher? If you disabled the on-board sound and your USB soundcard is the only output option, then the in EmulationStation the Audio Card should be set to 'Defaut' and the Default Device to PCM or Master (?). But the settings here affect only EmulationStation and not AttractMode or the emulators, so if you're not using EmulationStation, it's ok to leave them at defaults.

thanks that worked fine :)

@saitoh00 not unless upstream adds support for gles on Kms or we launch it via X (not tested - requires different compile flags). You can check the existing tickets on their bug tracker. https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues We don't develop/maintain everything included in RetroPie.

@dankcushions 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.

@Geier97332 ..thanks! I do now have 2 layouts suited for 5x4 aspect ratios on my Github. https://github.com/dmmarti theme repos: arcade1up_menu arcade1up_systems hyperflash54 For the themes I create, some have 2 variants (_menu and _systems). Their usage is setup for: *_menu = meant for the Displays Menu/nested category displays *_systems = meant for the individual systems displays I'll be creating more 5x4 aspect ratio themes in the future as well.

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

@dipkid said in My new (fullsize) diy Barcade:: @chicuelo hmm, yeah you're probably right. But hey, it's the Indiana Jones font. Everybody loves that.. I think in another style of cabinet it could work, but you are using wood and stylish materials. I think a Gatsby style one would look better. Just an opinion. Very nice build. Love those buttons

@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.
