The Arcade1up 40th Anniversary arcade machine https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pacman-40th-Anniversary-Edition-Arcade-Machine-Arcade1Up/747431257 (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pacman-40th-Anniversary-Edition-Arcade-Machine-Arcade1Up/747431257) has a great UI, but was lacking some of the most popular vertical games. I was able to fully recreate the Pac-Man 40th Anniversary game selection UI in Photoshop, and jedione was a champ and able to turn that into an attract mode theme (thank you, jedione).
This theme was built to allow for a specific set of 20 games: BurgerTime, Dig Dug, Dig Dug II, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Donkey Kong 3, Frogger, Galaga, Galaxian, Jr. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1, Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2, Nibbler, Pac and Pal, Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Pac-Mania, Space Invaders, and Super Pac-Man. The theme includes the stock machine's left/right sound, as well as the game selection sound. I also included the startup video.
Many people modding their Arcade1up machines don't know how to set up their raspberry pi without a pre-made image, so if anyone wants to make an image with this theme, please feel free!

Just a follow up on a small issue. When the menu first loads, there’s no game logo just blank rectangles. Once I move the joystick to scroll all the game images load.
Also the sound files not working

Attract Mode currently has an image caching bug which makes the images not show in the theme until you go left or right. I just figured out a workaround for this theme that seems to work well. After the "fe.layout.orient=RotateScreen.Left;" line in layout.nut, add...
fe.signal( "toggle_mute" );
fe.signal( "prev_game" );
fe.signal( "next_game" );
fe.signal( "toggle_mute" );
...This temporarily mutes things, quickly hits previous and next, and unmutes. It's so fast you don't see it happen, and since it's muted, you don't hear it. From a user standpoint, it just looks like it's loading normally.
