Version 2.8 works for me ...

Version 2.9 I was unable to get before it was taken offline (still looking).

Version 3.0 crashes to the basic layout for me.

Can you share the console log when 3.0 crashes? You can get 2.9 from github, the link is in the first post. I know 3.0 has a bug when a game has no category data, I re-uploaded it here so if you want you can try re-downloading it for a check.

Also be aware that 2.9 is designed for AM 2.4 and above, what version are you using?

Will do...

EDIT: I just tried the newly uploaded ZIP (I assume...it's the file on original post) and it too does not work for me.  Stupid question... how do I generate a console log?

If you are on windows there’s a attract-console.ece executable you can launch to get the console output, on Linux or Mac OS just launch from the shell. I think the most important thing to know is the version of AM you are using, is it 2.4+?

Actually... its. 2.3... let me update attract mode when I have a little time and then give it another try.  I'm testing using my windows box.

One suggestion: some text is too small at 640x480 and smaller resolutions. Perhaps increasing size, or having option to remove some of these tiny elements? I only tested in windowed borderless mode on my mac. Gives an ok but not perfect idea of what it will look like on my arcade machine or pi with 15khz crt’s.

I was able to replicate the issue, it is related to the "frosted glass" effect and happens when there are no screenshots in the .attract folder. I'll fix it in the next release, meanwhile you can try two workarounds:

- disable "frosted glass" effect from the theme options

- take a couple of screenshots so that you get at least a screen1.png image in your .attract folder, that should do the trick

This is a good point, I'm thinking of some ways to adapt the theme better to low resolutions. One is, as you said, to enlarge the smaller items (main category text, counters on the scroller), the other would be to switch to a 1-row layout for the smaller resolutions so there's more room for text and thumbs are larger, but I got some issues with that.

You know you can also set a custom lower resolution in the layout options to better simulate lower res?

What do you think, is this better? I enlarged some of the smaller elements...

It seems that the romlist is not correctly created, you have to go in the AM menu, emulators, mame, generate collection/romlist. This should add all the missing data to the theme. Then consider that Arcadeflow can't work with video snaps only, it also needs "static" snapshot artwork...
