Quick question that will hopefully be noticed in the next day or two (since that's my time limit).

I had all the frontends for my various systems set up to point to the themes in this package.  I did this on a 4K system.  But the intended platform is a 1080p laptop.  I have noticed that when I migrate to said laptop, all of the themes go out of whack.  Mostly the elements are strewn about and the wheel is missing (off-camera to the right?), but in some cases (like Odyssey 2) everything immediately fades to black—possibly because a misplaced, pure black image is covering everything?

Anyway, it's an easy guess that these themes are detecting 4K from the start, but then getting "locked" to 4K, so that they no longer work correctly on a lower resolution like 1080p.

Whatever's actually going on, I'm wondering what my options are here.  Right now, I'm considering keeping two entire copies of AttractMode + these themes, and letting one on them lock to 4K and the other to 1080p.

General / Trouble generating MAME romlist
« on: June 21, 2022, 12:31:18 AM »
I actually used AttractMode extensively like four years ago.  Had things all set up nicely.  Times change, though.  Now I'm trying to generate a new, updated MAME romlist.  Without having to basically hand-insert entries into my existing list.

The problem I'm having is this.  Here's an entry from my old list:

asteroid;Asteroids (rev 4);Arcade (MAME);;1979;Atari;Shooter / Field;1;0;only_buttons;good;1;vector;;;;

And here's what it looks like in my new list.

asteroid;asteroid;Arcade (MAME);;;;Shooter / Field;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

In other words, literally the only things that are being accurately provided in the newly-generated list are the romname, the emulator, and the genre.  Not even the title of the games are being provided.  This is an issue.

I'm hoping somebody knows what I need to do in order to cause all of those other entries to fill out properly.
