Is anyone using arcadeflow with future pinball or visual pinball?

I'm not sure, but future pinball and visual pinball are both supported by AF as far as system identifier and other data are concerned. I don't think that's the issue, but if you remove the pinball display does it work?

If I change the layout for the VPX to something besides ArcadeFlow the interface remains usable.

Great! I was able to replicate the issue, now I'll be traveling all day so I'll need time to patch a definitive solution, but for the moment try this: in your .cfg file change the line

Code: [Select]
system Pinball
to

Code: [Select]
system Visual Pinball
this should fix it for the moment.

EDIT: Fixed! It was easy, and I'm an idiot: do you remember the patched layout.nut I prepared for you? In that patch I put a workaround but forgot to comment out the old line of code causing the error :D I'll implement it in 9.1 soon

If you're able to have the overlay go over the system select menu, that would be a nice addition.

Hmm I just checked and the overlay should go over the system menu... Are you sure you used the option "Background"->"Custom Overlay" to set the overlay?

Yes. You can see in the picture how the overlay is there, but the system menu is on top of that overlay.
The image was so big it looked obnoxious in the forum so I deleted it. I'll repost another tonight.

Don't worry, I saw the picture, no need to re-upload that. I was just asking because I tried with my setup and the layout is correctly "on top" of the displays menu. It may be an issue with z-order, I'll look into it but it is difficult if I can't replicate the issue.

AF version 9.1 is out!

Featuring yet another iteration of the auto update - auto install routine that _should_ work... from next version we'll see :D
Mostly bug fixes and usability improvements in this version.

I'm trying your auto install update for the first time. A windows popped up and the download was successful, but I'm just getting a circle at mouse cursor within attractmode...how  much time should I give the install?

If you are upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 I have to warn you that the auto-install function doen't work as expected yet. It should be fixed in 9.1, so you could auto-update and auto-install when 9.2 is out.

That's probably the auto-install getting stuck, I suggest you only use auto-download when running 9.0. I know this auto-update thing is a nightmare, because every change takes effect to the NEXT version...

Enjoy!

The autoupdate seemed to work, but I'm getting weird backgrounds now with no game list...if I change back to 91 it shows correctly.


Also, but unrelated, I see the joystick and buttons when looking and game info, but not the description of the action that the button does...like your MK example with block and high / low kick/punch. What do I need for that to be included.

Thanks.
