Most roms on screenscraper.fr have the name "Chip 'n Dale - Rescue Rangers" without the Disney's prefix, maybe internally even thegamesdb treates it like that?

sai che il tuo tema e usato anche nel progetto rgbuntu ?

È un progetto che non conosco, gli darò un’occhiata. Grazie per la segnalazione:)

here are the cfgs of the emu that i tried to erase the roms.
1- mario kart
2- yoshis island

I found the issue: I forgot to use "fe.path_expand" on the command lines used to delete files, so in Windows they have the "/" level separator instead of "\". I'll have to carefully check the whole layout to find all the "non expanded" paths :)

Look, on 2 different pcs, both with windows 10 x64

It seems the layout can't find the proper rom path, can you share the emulator .cfg file for that display? You can share it here, on the discord channel or send me an email to paolo.zago@gmail.com...

I tested the layout.nut that you sent, sometimes the error in the list of roms still happens, but just refresh the romlist and it is corrected.

I know, some scenarios are not fixed in the layout you have, but I hope I fixed it completely in my latest development version, going to release it soon...

Another feature that I tested here and didn't work for me is to delete roms, the red X appears in the romlist, and the "deleted folder" is created in the roms folder, but the rom is not moved there.

I see, that might be a Windows issue (I develop and debug mostly on mac), if you run attractplus-console.exe you see some messages in the console when you delete a rom?

So I have to delete the romlist files and generate the list again to fix. Glad I followed your advice to make a backup of the attract mode folder hehehe

If you have the time and will to test it, I've prepared a beta layout.nut that should fix the issue when creating a new romlist. The only scenario that is still giving issue at the moment is if you delete manually the romlist .txt file and you start the layout in the same display using that romlist. I'm gonna fix it too hopefully...

Thanks for always updating this theme, it's my favorite. In this new version many bugs are occurring when adding more games and generating a new list, I almost always see this buggy screen. So I have to delete the romlist files and generate the list again to fix. Glad I followed your advice to make a backup of the attract mode folder hehehe

Thank you for the report, I'm investigating the issue but first of all, are you on Attract Mode or Attract Plus? Because at the moment there are issues with AM "classic" while AM+ should work better.
As far as adding or removing games to an _existing_ romlist, instead of going to AM menu and generate collection/romlist from there, you can go into Arcadeflow options and "refresh" the romlist, that will add games without messing with the new database system (hopefully). I'm still trying to figure out what happens with a new romlist, it gives me the same screen you get, but if I relaunch AM everything is back to normal...

« on: November 30, 2021, 05:31:37 AM »
"In menu" can be turned on or off to show or hide the display from the displays menu, that you can call via an hotkey from AM interface.

There's no "convenient" way to change the order of displays as far as I know, the only method being sorting the attract.cfg file. Some layouts can apply a different sorting on their own (my layout does it), but it's not an AM feature.

Arcadeflow 12.0 is out!

This version changes a lot of things in the game data management and is very "radical" therefore I suggest backing up your attract folder because, even if nothing bad should happen, better safe than sorry :D
The new features are an improved data management that allows propagation of all data (metadata and run data) from normal displays romlists to collection romlists, better scraping engine, better metadata editor.

Enjoy and report bugs!

Btw. this hue color frame option hard freezes AM+, and I couldn't find how to revert it manually in files so I had to reset everything.

Well that's not good, sorry for that. The value of hue should be a number between 0 and 358, and it should be robust enough as to fix errors in the entry values, but of course something went wrong in your case :( The easiest way to recover AF is to delete the prefs_layoutoptions.txt file, that will restart AF with "clean" default settings.

General / Re: Rename emulators?
« on: November 07, 2021, 10:01:28 PM »
I think this is very difficult to automate because of how customizable Attract Mode is. Changing the name of an emulator implies the need to change the name of the generated romlist, and also go through all the displays to check if one is using that romlist. But it doesn't stop there: because there are collection romlists and a user can also change manually the emulator assigned inside a romlist, _all_ romlists should be run through to check and rename the emulator field.

I was planning to implement something like that in my AM layout, but I fear it can generate all sorts of issues, besides, the emulator name is not so important in the great scheme of things, since it's hidden from the end user most of the time

Is it possible to switch displays with triggers?

In AM options you can customize controls and assign hotkeys to "prev_display" and "next_display" signals, so it should be possible to assign them to triggers (you mean like L2/R2 shoulder buttons?)

Hi. I have two steam games problems. The first one is related to those "x" that I can't open the games. The second is related to the aspect ratio of videos that should be 16:9 but are 4:3. thanks

The red cross appears when AF can't find the file of the "rom", maybe in this case there's no rom file so you can disable that going in Options, Thumbnails and disable "Game not available indicator"

As far as the aspect ratio is concerned, it's a mistake I made in the system configuration file: you can edit the "data_systems.txt" file, look for the steam entry which is like this:

Code: [Select]
steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,4,3,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null
And change it to this so the aspect will be derived from the video/snapshot:

Code: [Select]
steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,0,0,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null
or this to force the aspect to 16/9:

Code: [Select]
steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,16,9,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null

Arcadeflow 11.0 is out!

This is mostly a bufix for the metadata editor that had issues when changing romlist, plus some improvements on file management and new features on the metadata editor and keyboard.

Enjoy!

Very clear, I see what's going on and I was able to replicate it on my Windows rig: you are running Attract Mode 2.6.1, but this version of AF requires newer builds.

You can try with AM daily builds, available here: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2324.0 that should fix the issue, but if you want to be double sure, you should switch to Attract Mode Plus.

If you have a github account you can download the latest build of attract plus (that is the one I use for development and debugging) from here: https://github.com/oomek/attractplus/actions/runs/1194184396 download the windows "static" executable and just place it in your existing AM folder. This build of AM+ is mostly a cleanup of AM daily with many issues corrected and some tricks for complex layouts like mine, so check it out.
