Motion Blue Base Image

Welcome to the Motion Blue Base RetroPie Image

The Motion Blue base image is a customized RetroPie image that has been created and setup with several design goals in mind. Many
new scripts and files have been developed to include new features and enhancements.

The base image has been setup and configured for both Emulation Station and Attract Mode. 



It requires at minimum a 16GB SD card.

Emulation Station is setup with a default theme that includes support for the new option of having video previews instead of just static
images (JPG/PNG) and marquee (wheels) and box art as well. Pre-generated gamelist.xml files are provided for many systems. Also
included are special *collections* menu items that can now be added into Emulation Station along with a new Favorites menu.

The Attract Mode front-end has already been configured and setup with all emulators and romlist files for many systems. It uses a very
similar default theme as Emulation Station.

A design philosophy was adopted for this build to bring RetroPie in line with the current retro gaming community. The most prominent
change was to begin using the community standard for filenames for all configuration files and ROM files. This change now has
RetroPie matching the EmuMovies/HyperSpin naming convention. With this change, end users are more easily able to download new
ROMs and media files that will immediately work, thus saving hours of file renaming.

All you will need to provide are your BIOS files along with your ROM files and matching media. Everything else is already setup and
waiting. If your rom files are already named appropriately (EmuMovies/Hyperspin compatible names), then simply transfer them to the
proper folder and they will automatically show up in the corresponding Emulation Station and Attract Mode displays.

The use of shared media folders for each system allows both Emulation Station and Attract Mode to share the same media files so
there is no need to duplicate files.

The Motion Blue base image includes the following features listed below.

***To properly use this image, your ROM files MUST be named according to the EmuMovies/HyperSpin naming standard.***
***NO BIOS OR ROM FILES ARE INCLUDED***

First boot-up required actions

After installing the image onto an SD card, follow the procedures below to configure.

The image will default boot into Emulation Station. On the first initial boot-up, you will need to perform the following steps.

1. controller configuration

Since this is a fresh “first-time” boot into Emulation Station, you will be required to setup your controllers. Follow the normal procedures
to do that. It’s possible you will need to install additional driver packages. Consult the official RetroPie Wiki to find out more.

**NOTE - you may need to setup RetroPie to access your network, launch the Wifi option in the RetroPie menu to configure the
connection.

2. expand file system

Navigate to the RetroPie menu option and launch Raspi-Config.

Choose option one to expand the file system. It will require a reboot upon finishing.

3. load ROMs / Media

At this point, the image is fully setup. All that is left is to begin transferring over your ROM, Media and BIOS files into the proper folders
located at /home/pi/RetroPie. Consult the official RetroPie Wiki to find out more.

4. switching to either front-end

ES to AM : in Emulation Station, choose the RetroPie menu item and there is an item to “Switch to Attract Mode”
AM to ES : in Attract Mode, in the Attract Mode Setup display, choose the wheel for Emulation Station

5. in Attract Mode, press TAB > CONTROLS to configure your controller to operate the Attract Mode front-end

**Emulation Station controller configuration is for Emulation Station and Retroarch. You must setup Attract Mode GUI separately.

 Motion Blue Base Image
Media Files and Locations

All of the media used in the Motion Blue base image conforms to the naming convention used by EmuMovies and HyperSpin.

Here are the designated folder locations for both system media and game media. Emulation Station and Attract Mode both share the
same game media files.

Game media (box art, cartridge art, game flyer, game marquee, game snap, and game wheels)

The following subfolders have been designated and are located under the /roms folders.

xxxx = specific rom folder

/roms/xxx/boxart - game box artwork files

/roms/xxx/cartart - game cartridge artwork files
/roms/xxx/flyer - game flyer artwork files
/roms/xxx/marquee - game marquee artwork files
/roms/xxx/snap - game video preview snaps
/roms/xxx/wheel - game wheel artwork files

MAME and FBA media files

To save space on the SD card, all media files for MAME and Final Burn Alpha are placed into the following folders.

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/flyer
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/marquee
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/snap
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/wheel

Attract Mode System media (used in the system selection menu)

/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/ - main folder

/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/flyer - currently not used, but future themes may
/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/fanart - currently not used, but future themes may
/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/snap - system preview video snaps
/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/wheel - system wheel artwork

**All of the Attract Mode system media has been included in the respective /home/pi/.attract/menu-art subfolders.**

 Motion Blue Base Image
Loading Screens - Enable/Disable

Both Emulation Station (in the RetroPie menu) and Attract Mode (in the Attract Mode Setup display) have a new script that will globally
enable or disable the Motion Blue loading screens. These images are shown when you launch a game. You can still get to the
runcommand menu by press the A button to access it.

You can easily change out the images with your own PNG files. Each system has it’s own image as well as the default “all” image.

They are located in the subfolders here: /opt/retropie/configs

and must be named exactly this filename: launching.png

GPIO Power - Enable/Disable

Both Emulation Station (in the RetroPie menu) and Attract Mode (in the Attract Mode Setup display) have a new script that will globally
enable or disable the script for using the GPIO pins for an On/Off power button.

The GPIO pins 5 and 6 are used to connect a momentary push button switch that will power up and power down the Raspberry Pi.

By default, the script is enabled. However if you need to disabled it, you can easily do that from this script.

 Motion Blue Base Image
Emulation Station - Themes

With the latest versions of RetroPie, Emulation Station supports using MP4 video preview files instead of just static images (JPG/PNG)
as well as having the ability to show marquees (wheels) for different games.

Motion Blue includes many pre-generated gamelist.xml files for Emulation Station for most of the emulators. These gamelist.xml files
are already setup for all games (matching the EmuMovies/Hyperspin naming) to show video previews, marquee wheels, and box art
images.

In order for the different media to be shown in the Emulation Station theme, the following folders have been designated within the
Emulation Station gamelist.xml files.

These folders are the same folders that Attract Mode uses. Once media has been placed into them, either front-end will use them.

xxxx = specific rom folder

/roms/xxx/boxart - game box artwork files

/roms/xxx/snap - game video preview snaps
/roms/xxx/wheel - game wheel artwork files

Simply copy over your ROM files and the matching media files into the proper locations, restart Emulation Station, and they will
automatically be shown in the appropriate menu item.

The gamelist.xml files are written in such a way as to be used with every known file extension possible for each system. No matter
what file extension the rom file has, the gamelist.xml will identify it and show in the Emulation Station menu.

The

The Emulation Station default Motion Blue themes are located here for ease of use: /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes

***NOTE***

The pre-generated Emulation Station gamelist.xml files were generated against the Hyperspin.xml file for the chosen system. 

While every attempt was made to make them 100% correct, there may be instances where a certain game may not show up. In that
case, manual intervention must be taken to update the gamelist.xml with the missing game information.

 Motion Blue Base Image
Emulation Station - Special Collection Menu Items

Motion Blue now provides a new feature for Emulation Station users. A new script choice located in the RetroPie menu has been
developed to dynamically add, update, or remove new menu items for special collections menus.

These special collections menus will display games from many different systems within a single listing.

There are special collections just for MAME/FBA games that break them out to smaller sub-groupings from different manufacturers.
Some examples are Atari Classics, Midway Classics, Namco Classics, etc. There are over a dozen different MAME/FBA collections
menus that can be added.

For the remaining collections, they contain games from MAME/FBA as well as many additional console, handhelds, and computer
systems.

You will need a keyboard in order to run the script.

To add or update an Emulation Station menu collection item, run the “Collections Menus” script and choose the “add” option. To
remove a collection item, run the script and choose the “remove” option.

After performing either an add or a remove option, you will need to restart Emulation Station afterwards.

The new menu items are setup in such a way that they will only show games that you currently have the rom files for. After adding
additional rom files for other systems, re-run the script periodically to perform an update for that particular collection menu item.

The collection menu items do not appear by default. They will only show up after you run the script to add them.
 Motion Blue Base Image
Emulation Station - Favorites Menu

Motion Blue now provides a new feature for Emulation Station users. A new script has been developed to dynamically add, update, or
remove games to be shown in a new menu item called Favorites.

This special Favorites menu will display games from many different systems within a single listing.

When you are browsing the different platforms and you want to add a game to the Favorites menu, follow this procedure.

1. launch the game

2. press the A button and bring up the run command window
3. scroll down to the menu item : User
4. select the appropriate choice (either Tag a game or Untag a game)
5. you can now just exit without launching the game
6. restart Emulation Station

After performing either an add or a remove option, you will need to restart Emulation Station so the special links can be created for your
newly tagged favorite.

The Favorites menu item does not appear by default. It will only show up after you have tagged a game and restarted Emulation
Station.

Emulation Station - Background Music

Motion Blue now comes with the popular background music script pre-installed. You can easily enable or disable it via the appropriate
script in the RetroPie menu.

When enabled, upon bootup, the script will begin playing any of the music files you have placed within the directory listed below.

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/music

Place any MP3/WAV files within this folder to be played.


 Motion Blue Base Image
Attract Mode - Default Themes

The Motion Blue base image comes pre-built with many system displays visible and have, by default, been assigned to the Hursty Blue
Themes. There are a few other theme pre-installed as well for you to use.

Additional themes can also be downloaded and installed for use as well.

Default theme adjustments (note - not all themes support the following options)

There are various options you can set by adjusting the layout options ( accessed by TAB > DISPLAYS > (display) > LAYOUT OPTIONS

Show or Hide the game text information box at the bottom of the screen

Enable game information - Yes or No

Enable text frame - Yes or No

Show or Hide the box art and cartridge art

Show boxart - Yes or No

Show cartart - Yes or No

For the System Selection menu, Attract Mode tries to find matching named artwork in the following folders.

/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/wheel - used to find matching wheel artwork based on “Display Name”

/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/snap - used to find matching video snaps based on “Display Name”

 Motion Blue Base Image
Attract Mode - Hide Unused/Unneeded System Displays

The Motion Blue base image comes pre-built with many system displays visible. If there is a particular system display that you wish to
not use, following this procedure to hide it.



There is also the Display Utility script that will show/add the *Classics and *Collections displays at the same time.

Access the Attract Mode menu: TAB > DISPLAY > (display)

For the display options, change these two settings to “No”

Show in cycle - means “show this display while scrolling left/right through displays”
Show in menu - means “show this display in system selection menu”

Attract Mode - Add Your Own Theme

The Motion Blue base image comes pre-setup with every display having an assigned default theme. But you are not locked into using
those. You can easily change them to whatever theme you like best.

There are already several other themes installed and ready for use and it’s easy to download and copy over new themes as well.
Simply copy the new layout folder into the proper directory on the Pi and change any display to use it.

Copy new layouts into the layouts folder: /home/pi/.attract/layouts/

Attract Mode - Change Theme

All of the pre-built displays have a default theme assigned to them. However, if you wish to change a particular display’s theme, follow
these instructions.

Access the Attract Mode Menu: TAB > DISPLAYS > (display name)

You can then scroll through all available layouts and choose one.

 Motion Blue Base Image
Attract Mode - Using the Favorites Menu

As you play games from various systems, it’s sometimes nice to have a single place to see all of your favorite games in a single list.

Using the Favorites display is a way to accomplish that.



Favorites can only be tagged while browsing the system/display for the systems. You cannot tag/untag games from the Favorites
display itself.

To set your controls within Attract Mode to tag/untag games, here’s how.

Access the Attract Mode menu: TAB > CONTROLS

Add Favorite - then add a keyboard or gamepad button to tag/untag a game as a favorite

Also, another nice reminder feature, is to have Attract Mode prompt you when you tag or untag a game.

Access the Attract Mode menu: TAB > GENERAL

Confirm Favorites - this prompts you when you tag a game as a favorite with a Yes/No question

After you have tagged various games, navigate to the Attract Mode Setup display. Within there is a wheel called “Generate Favorites”.

Press your allocated button to execute it.



A shell script window will appear (solid black) and will begin gathering all of the games that are currently tagged as a favorite. It will
then create a single romlist called Favorites.txt in the /home/pi/.attract/romlists folder.

This special romlist is used the by Favorites display to only show those games.


Periodically re-run this script as you tag and untag games.

There is a wheel in the Attract Mode Setup display that you can run that will delete all currently tagged games and make the Favorites
romlist file empty. This allows the ability to quickly remove them all at the same time.

 Motion Blue Base Image
Attract Mode - Pre-Configured Emulator, Display, and Romlist Files

All of the Attract Mode emulators, displays, and romlist files are pre-built and fully configured.



The romlist files are complete and already have every game listed for each system. You will not have to generate a romlist for any
emulator.

Each display has a Global Filter applied so that they will only show the game wheels if the matching ROM file exists and is named
correctly. As you add additional ROM files, the system display will automatically show them.

Listed below are the pre-built emulators, displays, and romlists.

There are a few variants on a couple of emulator/displays to cater to US/UK choices.

For example:

Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive

These are technically identical, but have different system media. If you choose to use the Sega Mega Drive, then simply hide the Sega
Genesis display.

Here are the other pre-built US/UK variants.

Sega CD / Sega Mega-CD

The different variants use the same emulator, it just changes which system media set is displayed in Attract Mode.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

**For Super Nintendo, for PAL preview system video, rename the file in /home/pi/.attract/menu-art/snap
rename Super Nintendo Entertainment System (PAL).mp4 to Super Nintendo Entertainment System.mp4
 Motion Blue Base Image
Attract Mode - MAME/FBA Arcade Classics and CPS/CAVE Displays

There are four displays that are built for MAME and a display built for Final Burn Alpha. These displays are setup to show every rom
that you have copied over.

The different arcade *Classics* wheels are an easier way to navigate the large number of MAME/FBA roms that you have on your build.
Instead of having a single system menu with every single game in it, using these breakout menu wheels allows for easier navigation in
finding your games.


Their romlists are created in such a way that no matter what MAME or Final Burn Alpha romset you copy over to your Motion Blue
install, the different displays will automatically show the wheels for the games you copied over.

Similar to the “Classics” menu wheels, there are additional wheels that are based upon using the MAME/FBA romset. There are
breakout folders for Capcom Play System 1/2/3, Cave, plus several other system menus that will automatically show those games as
well.


Attract Mode - Boot Intro Video

There are several color variations included for the boot up introduction video (blue, gray, green, orange, and red) along with the default
Attract Mode video. You can always add more by transferring MP4 files to the following folder:

/home/pi/.attract/intro


To easily change the boot up video, run the “Change Intro Video” option from the Attract Mode Setup display. (keyboard required)



It will list all of the available MP4 video files in the /home/pi/.attract/intro folder and you simply choose the appropriate number for the
intro video you wish to use.



After pressing <enter>, upon next boot up, your new chosen video will be played.

Attract Mode - Displays Utility

By default, Motion Blue comes setup with all of the available displays enabled. However, you can quickly show or hide them with this
utility.

Located in the Attract Mode Setup display, this script will show or hide the MAME/FBA Classics displays or the game Collections
displays. You will need a keyboard to use this script. 

 Motion Blue Base Image
Atari 5200 Configuration And Emulator Selection

Here are special instructions when playing the Atari 5200 games to specify the new emulator choices.

When the Atari 5200 was being developed for, the game cartridges that were used varied in size. Some games were small (like 4K or
8K big) while others were larger (16K or 32K). This didn’t bother the actual console when you inserted the cartridge and played, but for
emulation, this does pose an unfortunate side affect.

For emulation, you have to specify what size the original cartridge was for each game, on a game-by-game basis. When you first
launch a game, you will see a small window popup that shows what the current emulator that particular game is using. This is called
the “runcommand” window. Pressing any button while this window is displayed allows you to change various settings for that particular
game.

Note: this is the “runcommand” menu - if you have turned this option off, temporarily turn it back on for this step

You will need to assign a different Atari800 emulator variant to the game to make it run without being asked about cartridge type.

1) launch a game, but before it runs, press any button to access the configuration menu
2) choose option #2 - set default emulator for rom
3) use the chart below to select the proper emulator (they all start with atari800 ….so choose the correct one)
4) you can either launch the game or exit back to the games list and change the remaining games that need different emulators

By doing the steps above, RetroPie will save the chosen emulator to the particular game. Then when the game is launched, it will use
the proper emulator and launch directly into the game.

*** NOTE*** If this step is skipped, then sometimes when you launch a game, you will either get a “Blank Black Screen” or be
prompted to “Select Cartridge Type”. You can use the chart below to find the proper cartridge type to select.

Atari 5200 Emulator Configuration File

The file that controls all of the different Atari 800 variant emulator choices should have all of these setup within it. If you find one is
missing, here is the information about the file and it’s contents. Each line sets up a new variation name for the Atari800 emulator but
includes the specified cartridge type as an additional parameter.


When you access the runcommand window after launching a game, this is the list where it knows what emulator choices to present.

Commodore Amiga - WHDLoader Emulation

Motion Blue has been configure and is already setup with the WHDLoader emulation for Commodore Amiga.



WHDLoader is the ideal way for emulation for the Amiga … and there is a Facebook group devoted to developing it and updating it and
it is the best way possible for Amiga gameplay.

Following all of the required steps that they provided, the Motion Blue base image is now fully setup and ready for using the WHDLoad
rompacks. Simply copy over the “uae” files along with the necessary save game folders … and both Emulation Station and Attract
Mode will be usable for the Amiga roms.

Using the WHDLoader for emulation, it provides many benefits over the standard way of emulation. By using the WHDLoader, when
games are launched, they are launched directly into the game itself and bypasses the standard UAE GUI.

You will still need to setup your controllers within the UAE GUI (see the official RetroPie wiki for instructions), but using the WHDLoader
simplifies the whole process.

You can find more information and rom information on their Facebook group.

Log in to Facebook and search for the group: The Amiga RetroPie WHDLoad Pack Group

Once you request to join, you will be greeted by a fantastic group of folks willing to share their knowledge and help get your Amiga
emulation up and running.


**SPECIAL HANDLING FOR THE AMIGA CD32 WHDLOADER PACK**

The Amiga CD32 has been separated out into it’s own system. When you download the CD32 WHDLoader pack here is where to copy
the different files to.

copy the folder “Games_WHDLoad_CD32” to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga



copy all remaining files/folders to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amigacd32
all CD32 media files are to be located in the appropriate folders within the /roms/amigacd32 folder also
