What do you mean exactly with "Attract-Mode is now looking for game overview information in a different place then previously" , I have tons of overview scrapped descriptions and I prefer to move them to another place than re-scrape all the stuff.
Which is the new location?

Thanks I have converted the "old ones" to the new "format".
Should be easy to make a python script if anyone wants to help.
I have used the find and replace feature of notepad ++ , just deleting the first "Overview " word at the begining and "n/n/"
Then just changing the .cfg extension for .txt with flexible renamer.
--- End quote ---
I have an Autoit script I made to convert normal text files to the old overview format and vice-versa.
I think I can easily repurpose it to make the conversion from the old to the new overview format, however on my test runs with AM 2.4 the overviews are coming blank (tried with Odyssey 2 and Vectrex) I am flooded at the moment and unable to chase the problem. Can anyone tell me how the new files are formatted? Apart from ditching the "overview " at the beginning and changing the extension from ".cfg" to ".txt" anything else has changed? Are they still using "\n" as linefeeds?
Cheers.

I think you have all the information.
1. remove the first 9 characters of each old .cfg file ("overview ")
2. rename the file from .cfg to .txt
3. move files to the new location (/attract/scraper/<emulator>/overview/<romname>.txt)
Simple in a Linux console but in Windows I think most are using Notepad++ for batch converions.

I need an AM 2.4 version for Mac Os X Mountain Lion 10.8.4, please...
Mountain Lion, now, does not let install the homebrew. If someone had it installed before, would be so kind to compile a version for Mountain Lion ...
It would also be good for someone to tell me how to install the homebrew now. I already installed xcode and command line, but the instructions of the homebrew forum to install it in Mountain Lion does not work ...

Ok, there you go.
Just run OWZR.exe and press the buttons, the Readme.txt explains it all.
It does not move the files to the new location but you should be working on copies anyway, so...
