Make it compatible with Flyer (Game Posters) and it will be awesome!

UPDATE:
i tried but the speed is then too bad. my code has to be more efficient.
<------- OK. MY FLYERS .JPG are CORRUPT. That's why i had lags and bad speed!. so u can change it and works with flyers.

u can test it easy with changing one word in layout.nut at line 40:

      art.push(gamegrid_surface.add_artwork("snap", a*SPACEX+80, i*SPACEY+110, 200, 250));

change "snap" to "flyer". thats it.

greets.

hi. can u give me the attractmode console log?
do u use raspi?

This theme is not for multiple displays. i only use it for my mame display. in the config for my "mame" display settings i set "GridNew". perhaps this is a problem?
but your log would be helpful.

greets!

Hi :) Yes I'm trying it on a RPi3, hope that helps.

I changed the display to GridNew and it brings up large vert scrolling text.

Running latest Attract Mode and Retropie 4.2

I like this theme! Good work! It could be adapted for multiple resolutions easily. Perhaps the filters „bar“ could just be a single text with a magic function? Would cover high and low res.

thanks.
i tryed now the performance with downloaded flyers from progetto. the performance is a disaster. i think my code sux hard.
not efficient. perhaps someone can tell me if the
image.swap
function helps in performance? didn't use it. i only update the index_offset of every 15 images. i think attractmode loads then every time the same images again?

the Normal Grid Layout has much better performance with flyers. tested it. :(

You have to use rawset_index_offset() function otherwise all the snaps/artwork will reload each time you navigate.
Nice theme btw.

cool. nice help. tested the function. works. but with that i have to Change a lot of my Code. i also updated always my fe.list.index. and that also loads the hole Images again :(. Perhaps i will do that correction.
i think i also should use the normal grid theme but am to lazy to get into it :)

thanks anyway.
