BETABRITE SCROLL SIGN IN ARCADE OS
mccoy178:
Silver,
Is it possible to have this for other emulators? What about Video Pinball? Just asking.

Ok new version up again - 98.1. Get it here:

This one lets you do all the 'show only buttons with info' stuff for non-betabrite displays, it also allows you to use the flashy betabrite display options in the ArcadeOS ouput.
It also adds an option for non-mame emus. Seeing as I don't know any emus that have listinfo/controlsDAT info available, this currently works off the filename. Although looking at the Visual Pinball tables the files are all fully named (unlike mames 8 characters only).
So for the file: 'aztec (williams) (1976).zip'
you will get a file: 'aztec (williams) (1976).lcd'
which will display 'aztec'
if you have the remove clone info selected. Leaving clone info in will display 'aztec (williams) (1976)'.
I've not looked into frontend support for this yet, though I see no reason why it won't work.
This addition is probably broken atm for ArcadeOS output....

When making lcd's for other emu's, do I just list the rom folder as the mame path, and place them in my mame lcd folder? A little insight would be great.

Good Newsd ba and :-\
The program worked for everything. Genesis, NES, SNintendo, N64, VPinball, Daphne, MAME, and Gameboy Advance. That is the great news.
Another piece of good news, then the bad. I was able to use "]!?00]"AANintendo - Select Game]$, and it worked like a champ. Very, very nice!!!
Now, this isn't as bad as killing my puppy, but its close............
1. The zinc list did not display the nice game names, just the abbreviated ones. I guess I need to know if I need an xml for those or what.
2. When I added this to my mamewah mame.ini, ]!?00]"AAM.A.M.E. - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator - Select Game]$ , the betabrite worked, but it totally screwed something up. When I started a game, I got a black screen and at the bottom I could see the line of the windows start bar minimalized. When I moved the mouse to the bottom, the start bar came up, I could select the mame tab with the mouse as if back in windows, and the game popped up and ran like normal and exited like normal. Mame worked properly from command line, so it is something inside mamewah. But nothing changed except that lcd text?! ??? So, again, the problem arrises when I attempt to start a mame game in mamewah, the rest is fine. Any ideas? :'(
I have made three videos. It is sort of funny because the first is me excited to see it working, the second is me starting a game and noticing resolution is not right. The third is me demonstrating the black screen problem, but the resolution issue is not there. You can see the windows start bar at the bottom of the black screen in the third video.

Edit: I restarted my computer and the problem was solved. I don't have an explanation for what happened. One last question for tonight. Can I get the betabrite to change with each emulator? As it is now, I have to select a game first in the next emulator to get the switch. Kind of a bummer. BTW, this far exceeds my expectations.
