All of a sudden, I couldn't find where I can set history.dat path. Moreover, may I know how how to set game video? I already set video path in Attract Mode Emulator.

You have to set it up in Arcadeflow options, Scrape and Metadata, there's a section for setting up mame datafiles that AF will use.

As per the video path, how did you set it up in your emulator .cfg file?

Arcadeflow 16.7 is out!

- Added Namco arcade systems logos
- Fixed issue with letter fading when AA is enabled

Most important change is a fix that avoids issues when anti aliasing is enabled.

Enjoy!

After deleting (EmulatorName).db1 and (EmulatorName).db2 and generating new romlist, everything works the way intended. My new question becomes, the History would only show "There's an error loading game data. Please check history.dat preferences in the layout option." which I did but couldn't figure out what went wrong. Any idea?

Ok, so deleting db1 and db2 was the right thing to do, but you could also refresh the romlist and db from the options. Deleting the file is equally fine though.

As far as history.dat, maybe you usually use the history.dat plugin, but AF has its own implementation of that plugin so you have to setup the history.dat path in AF options, and regenerate the database from there.

In the Utility Menu, Categories only show Unknown, Music and Casino while my filters are working just fine and the Category column in romlist shows the right information as well. Is there any reason why Catogories don't work properly?

Do you have any filter or multifilter set? Is this an arcade or console romlist? Also, if you can run attractplus-console.exe, we can check if there are any error messages when you enter the category menu...

I didn't have any filter or multifilter set. Didn't see error message.

If instead of the Category menu you enter the Multifilter, and then the category section, do you see all the categories there?

My thoughts exactly. The frontend itself, AttractMode, has made a lot of decent progress in recent days and continues to do so. However, the themes/layouts have become almost non-existent or are hidden in scattered places throughout the internet. There really needs to be an actual "Download" page for themes where they can be acquired easily instead of a forum page with a bunch of links, most of which don't work anymore.

There is a layout showcase channel on Attract Mode Discord server, but it's pretty new so it has only a handful of them. There was a plan (more an idea actually) to implement a layout showcase website or be able to download/update layouts from within Attract Mode, but this is going slow...

Arcadeflow 16.2 is out!

This was a long wait, but finally 16.2 is here! You'll need the latest AM+ 3.0.6 to make it work, there are a lot of changes both on the surface and under the hood. Hope there are not many bugs though.

Enjoy!

You can still use .toupper() to convert a string to its uppercase equivalent. This is not as convenient as having an all uppercase font, but it's straightforward...

It will definitely have a hit on performance...

Not just because of the multiple playback, but also because the movies need to be loaded and that is a blocking process. AF tries to load the video only when nothing is happening (not during scrolling for example), but with many videos to load a bit of stuttering during sudden movements will be unavoidable.

But wow, that is an amazing idea to have all of the audios going at a background level.
Very ambitious!  =D

At the moment it would be quite easy to let the movies play while the video is on screen, and then stop them when it's off-screen, I think I'll have time to do some tests next week.

Wow, great work!  There is a VERY significant performance boost on my machine.
Question - is it possible to get this to show all of the videos at the same time like the "grid" layout does?
This is so much more functional than that layout, but I have to admit I do like seeing all of the videos.  ; )

Technically it's possible, but I think it will have an hit on performance. My idea was to enable this feature with the new sound engine, so I could lower the volume of "non selected" videos, creating that background noise typical of an arcade full of games.

I'll see how it fares with all the videos enabled, maybe I can manage the performance.
