so, I'm attempting to seriously lok at replacing mamewah. Mala site is down, so I figured I'd try atomic FE Can I have multiple profiles, ne forMAME, one or gaeboy, one fo PC games...? the manager allows to me create a pofile for only one of those things. how do I switch pofiles in the FE? Attract videos look terible, they have green "snow" all over them (I'm using gamecreature layout) The gamecreature layout says 648x... can I run it at hihger resolution? I tried to set the screen size at 1024x768 and it seems to work, but maybe it's the source of the movie playing problem? Is there a way to skip the credits at the end when you exit Is there a way to use movies as the screensaver? all I found was the ability to do slideshows. is there any kind of "import" feature from mamewah files, especially game lists? is there support for Johnny5 ? I would like to be able to set things up so that from the FE I can press a key and see the instructions for the game before I decide to launch it (especially true for PC files for whihc I creaqted my own controls.dat file) I'm sure I'll have more questions |

I tried to adda the PC gmae plugnplay but I can't figure out how to tell it where the .lnk files are. I do not want to move anything in the atomic FR root folder, I specifically set my cab directory tress the way I want them, and I need the FE to be able to deal with it. I found how to tell where my mame stuff was, but I can't find a similar option in the PC game plugin setup Also, is the only way to have mutliple "emulators" to run the "conf chooser" screen at startup? |

Hi papaschroumpf, Thanks for trying Atomic. --- Quote ---Can I have multiple profiles, ne forMAME, one or gaeboy, one fo PC games...? the manager allows to me create a pofile for only one of those things. how do I switch pofiles in the FE? --- End quote --- Yes, you create one configuration by profile and then you "assemble" them as you wish with the MultiConfWizard.exe (there is a tutorial for that in the Doc folder , and check on my website the Documentation section there is great doc by Havok) --- Quote ---Attract videos look terible, they have green "snow" all over them (I'm using gamecreature layout) --- End quote --- It is a video codec problem. you need to change your codec, i don't know what video files set you are using, but with the circo's one, i use the XVID codec. The XVID codec must be first in the list of codec of windows. (before the DivX one) I suggest you de-install the DivX codec if you have it. De-install the XVID too. Then re-install the XVID and THEN re-install the DIVX (if you need it). To be sure the XVID is first. --- Quote ---The gamecreature layout says 648x... can I run it at hihger resolution? I tried to set the screen size at 1024x768 and it seems to work, but maybe it's the source of the movie playing problem? --- End quote --- Atomic layout can work in any resolution. But there is no interrest to use a 640x480 in 1024x768 , it won't look better it will consume only more memory. Anyway your video codec is not link to that It is a codec problem. (i had the same) --- Quote ---Is there a way to skip the credits at the end when you exit --- End quote --- Yes, you have to put by hand in the .CFG file GREETINGS=NO --- Quote ---Is there a way to use movies as the screensaver? all I found was the ability to do slideshows. --- End quote --- In Atomic 0.18-1 , you can put snap or you can say to Atomic to run random games for a given time. And if you insert a credit in a game runs by the screen saver , the screensaver mode is turned off and you can play. I think it is better than simple video.. most of the game have a demo mode... But the ability to use video in screensaver "should" come very soon. --- Quote ---is there any kind of "import" feature from mamewah files, especially game lists? --- End quote --- No, but it wouldn't be too difficult i think. I don't know how looks a Mamewah game lists , show me i could help you. But i don't want put this kind of feature in standard, i would have the impression to "stole" something to minwah. --- Quote ---is there support for Johnny5 ? I would like to be able to set things up so that from the FE I can press a key and see the instructions for the game before I decide to launch it (especially true for PC files for whihc I created my own controls.dat file) --- End quote --- I don' t use personnally Johnny5 (i use CPV2) , but you can surely do that. You can launch external application from Atomic on keystroke and pass params. (have a look to the documentation section of my website). |

Mine or Angelscry? But for both , open the file : <Atomicfe>\plugnplay\pcgames\pcgame.cfg with AtomicManager, and make point the "ROM Dir" to the place where are your shortcut. |

Thanks for the replies, I'll play with it some more. I'm pretty sure I used your plug in. As far as attract videos, I have different enulators, PC game, etc... all with videos, so this is definitely a feature I would like to see in a front end. |
