Thanks for testing Atomic.
The videos in my layout are playing too slow. They play fine on their own (AVI files), fine it MaLa, but slow when playing in AtomicFE. I have tried in the default layout, and a new layout I created myself. What should I check?
Click right on your screen, select "options" , then click on the little black arrow at the up right , and select HQ Video tab. tick "HQ Video are used for snap" and entrer a value for frame each. (try 10 in a first time and adjust according to the result on your screen).
My joystick (U360) sends the menu lists all crazy. If I push the joystick the menus scroll and don't stop. The joysticks work fine in Mala, and in game as well.
Generally when you have that issue it is a problem of joystick calibration. But Atomic joystick support is very basic. To use enhanced feature of Atomic it must be driven by keyboard input (or via jpac, keywiz etc..). So when you have something that is a real "joystick" (i mean windows see it as a joystick), you have to use utility like Joy2key or Xpadder to transform joystick input in keyboard input for Atomic.
And go in "project properties" , "input options" tab and tick "ignore USB joystick" to avoid bad move in the list. (the joystick is ignored only in Atomic, not in the emulator).
In my own layout, I want to have white text for the game list, and red text for the selected item. But when I change the font color for the selected text to red, it appears in the list as red text with a white background (instead of no background, as the rest of the list). Things to look for?
Select the "textlist" objet, go to "font" tab , change text color to white
Go to "general" tab , tick "use dif font size for sel" and click "color font for sel" button and choose red.
click "apply"
Go to "image tab" , click "change image" and give a image that contains only the color you defined as transparent color.
on the same tab, click "change selection" and give the same "transparent" image you defined as image.
Then you should have what you want.
The selected game in my list appears as a full path, not just the game title. And hence the text becomes really small to try to fit it all in.
Fullpath??? what you mean? Could you write me a game name you see. or a screenshot?
Can AtomicFE be configured so a keypress goes to a specific screen, no matter what screen is currently displayed? In other words, I want to be able to have a different hot key for some of my screens.
No. It is doable with a plugin, but not done yet. But there is an option (i think hidden it is a vestige from old version) that allow you to choose the screen in a list and go directly to it.
Can I configure a layout so a screenshot of my choosing shows depending on what controls are in the game? In other words, can it look into controls.ini, and display a pic of my trackball control panel for games that use a trackball control?
I have a plugin done but a user somewhere that does that. however it is not complety polished. Otherwise you can use tool like cpwizard .
