Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. :)

General / Setting to Slow Down Screen Saver Snapshot Rotation?
« on: September 25, 2021, 10:35:01 AM »
Hello, I was unable to find this information anywhere after searching, checking documentation, and looking at config files.

I was curious if there is a way to change and increase the number of seconds in between each snapshot image that is displayed during the screen saver. They seem to change every 1 to 2 seconds. I wanted to change that to around 10 seconds if possible.

Thank you for any help! :)

Some more images from the new beta with vertical arcade support! :)

I suggest you try scaling the 4K pics to something around 500 on the long edge (or something more if you see blurryness)

As far as the Pi4 is concerned, did you run AF on that? Wondering how it will run...

As for the AM+ binaries, you can download them only if you are logged in to Github, you can create an account and if you have issues please let me know

I will definitely try lowering the resolution on the images. I also upped the attract mode cache size to a few gigabytes. I do notice when I change the columns from 2 to 3 the response is smoother. I also can't decide if I like 2 columns or 3. They both look great!

I do not have arcade flow for running on the pi yet, but I do have attract mode running in retropie on my other arcade cabinet. In the future, I will definitely share my progress on that as well testing Arace Flow!

Thank you for the suggestion on github, I do have an account, I will try to login and download it there. I was looking at the documentation and I can't find any information on what is different from the mainline attract mode.

Again, this theme is so awesome. With your recent updates in this beta, it is a dream come true for this new vertical arcade style. Here is another image of the beta running. Sorry about the low image quality but the forum limits the file size.

No, asynchronous loading is buggy in AM and not yet implemented in AM+, the need for AM daily or AM+ is related to surface effects.

The issue you get can be caused by the large size of thumbnails, what is the resolution and average file size of the images you are using as "boxart" in the layout? Another issue could be if your GPU is not powerful enough for rendering the complex structure of Arcadeflow: on my late 2013 MBP AF doesn't run at 60 fps in fullscreen because of that.

Thank you for clarifying, also are there any other benefits to attract mode plus? I still am unable to find a precompiled binary for windows. So I am using attract mode daily from the sticky thread.

The flyer/boxart images I am using are directly from that vertical arcade website, I spent an evening downloading and renaming them all. So they are 4K JPEG's. I could probably use a batch process to convert them to a lower resolution and try that. Thank you for the suggestion.

The computer I'm currently using is an Alienware alpha R1, with an Nvidia GTX 970 GPU. My goal is to try to get this running on a pi4 at 1080P. I was actually able to get things running on the Pi4 using retroarch/FBNEO with run ahead at 2 frames while using the Zfast Curved shader. I could have cooked food on the Pi4 it was so hot, but it was stable at 60fps. :)

When you had mentioned that your theme requires the latest version of attract mode, or attract mode plus. Does that have anything to do with asynchronous loading?

On my mid-range emulation system, scrolling through three columns seems to be a bit slow. Changing things to full-screen mode in attract mode general options sped things up slightly. But it's still very noticeable. I was just wondering if there are any workarounds that you might be able to suggest? Everything looks fantastic and is perfect otherwise. Thank you for any further assistance!

That is a cool idea as well! Although in this case, I actually turned the background from Pop to Dark on purpose. My eyes are sensitive to light sometimes, so I like to keep things dark when possible. The vertical cabinet idea is fantastic, but it is basically a whole screen turned vertically in your face depending on how close you are. That can get a bit bright over time. So keeping your theme on dark mode helps as a nice pallet cleanser for the eyes.

Absolutely! Here is an image of it up and running on the 32-inch TV I've been testing with. Once I get the rest of the images renamed to match my ROM list, I can post some more! I generated a romlist with around 300 or so games that have cabinets. In hopes to streamline the set up.

This is it running from attract mode daily, and your beta. :)

Here it is, you can download the beta from here: http://www.mixandmatch.it/AF/layouts/Arcadeflow_109BETA.zip it is pre-configured in a way that should work fine with vertical arcade artwork (9:16 correction enabled, moderate tile zooming, boxart mode), let me know if you have issues. This beta requires either attract mode nightly build for Windows or attractplus executable to work, I mean, it works also with 2.6.1 but with some issues in shadows.

Just an update, everything is working perfectly on my Windows 10 system! Using the newest attract more daily build from the forum and your 109BETA. Everything is smooth and looks great!. Fantastic work. Thank you again. :)

I am so excited to try this. Thank you! I will have to grab a nightly build of attract mode for testing. I am unable to find a windows compiled binary for AttractPlus on oomeks GitHub https://github.com/oomek/attractplus. Unless there is a thread on here somewhere with it posted for download?

Again, I really appreciate your help and support in adding these features. I can't wait to report back after testing. :)

This is amazing and looks fantastic! Thank you so much. :) I would love a beta release. That way I can help test it as well. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Also, I'm sorry about that file.io link going down so fast. I thought it would last at least a week or two.

Thank you for helping me understand! That would be amazing if you had any suggestions or even a quick fix! A dirty trick is just fine! :) I really think this could be the ultimate theme for a vertical cabinet build with this layout!

I tried playing with the padding ratios in the layout.nut file, but I was unable to create something like I made in this photoshop mockup.

Would it be possible to do some slight modifications to the layout.nut to create something like the image attached? All of these cabinet screenshots are the exact same size, some might look slightly off because of my terrible Photoshop work. Thank you so much for any assistance! :)

I have added a bunch of cabinet images in a zip for testing if that is helpful: https://file.io/Qnt5ipG2WU9w

Interesting request! Actually I think the images are squished because the layout try to adapt them to 4:3 or 3:4 recognizing you are in an arcade romlist. I'll see if I can add a switch to force disable the AR adaptation, but I think the best way should be this: configure AM so that those images are used as "flyer" artwork instead of snap, and switch Arcadeflow to boxart mode, this should stop trying to adapt the AR...

That worked. Thank you! Once I get everything set up, I might have a few suggestions or small feature requests (things like closer zoom options) to really help this format shine using your amazing theme!
