Title: AtomicFE Question about gamelists
Post by: Evilpenguin on February 12, 2006, 03:48:42 pm

Hi All

I just had a question about setting up customized game lists in AtomicFE.  When I see the list of ROMS on the left side is there anyway of making them show up with the actual game name, since its hard to go by the rom names.  It would make it much easier to sort if I could see the full name or even a screenshot.

Hi Jason,

Unfortunally not in this version. I had'nt think about that. But you 're right it would be better to have the choice between rom name and title on the config tool.  I 'll think about that for a future version.

For now, what you can do , go in the metadata folder and open the file FullList.Txt with the notepad.

And use "search" to find what rom match with what games. And then find it in the config tool.

Another solution, would be to use Favorite lists.

You do a config with all your roms , you enalbe Favorite list , you run Atomic , in Atomic you will see the game name , all game you want in your game list, you put it in the Favorite list (by just pushing the right button (see AtomicKeys)) .  then once all your games are in the favorite list . Just replace the game list file by the Favorites one.

I hope it helps

Thanks for the reply Youki!  This will help in the mean time!  But you should definitely put that in your next update!  I love the FE!  Keep up the good work!  Only one other question for you.  I know when I used mamewah before I could use the second joystick to move through the list of games twice as fast.  Is there an option in AtomicFE for this?

Again great work!

Thanks.  :)

I don't have this kind of option in Atomic.  The only way to go faster for now , is to go page per page use right and left of the joystick.

But i'm thinking to implement dynamic accelaration of the list.

OK one other quick question for you.  Is there a way to play a video when you start atomicfe?  i have the perfect video to play just before getting into the frontend!

Sorry, i think  today i won't able to respond yes to one of your question!

No, you can't. I don't manage intro video. The goal being to slowdown the loading time of the Front End.

But you have always a way to workaround that i think.

you can run Atomic using a .BAT file , the .BAT file will display first your video and then load Atomic.

I never did that, but i think it could be possible. 

But, i put that on my to do list, the ability to put an intro video , that's not a big deal.
