Hello, all: I am taking the plunge into Attract Mode to see what it offers.
I bought a second MicroSSD card for my Pi3 and I put a totally fresh install of the Retropie Image on it from the main site. After getting it onto the network I then went into Experimental packages and installed Attract Mode.
I dropped down to the command prompt from ES and typed attract and a very basic black and white interface came up. No video introduction, no fancy graphical menus.
Am I missing something? I see not video decoder in the general settings. Do I need to install something like mmal and if so how do I find it? Where is all the psychadelic candy colored graphics I see in the videos of Attract Mode on Youtube?
Thanks!

Tab brings up config menu.

Yup, I have gotten that far at least ;)
I also managed to get mmal loaded and recognized by AM after rebuilding it.
I still have the basic black and white menu.
Do I need to go somewhere to download and install the nice graphic themes for the menu?

You need to go to the "Displays" menu and configure a new display for your emulator, so you can see a more "rich", themed interface. I must say that at first AM is a bit tough, first time I installed it I thought something was wrong :D

Yeah, I am slowly getting there. Thank goodness I have two Micro SSD cards that I can backup and restore quickly to try stuff out on. A lot of experimentation and rollbacks but I am inching my way towards an interface that will replace Emulation Station.
