As I'm still not entirely sure which files originated from what, I can only reference my current setup, which is the pi-to-jamma mentioned above. The key to forcing 240p for Attract Mode was to modify:

1) /boot/config.txt (this should've been more obvious to me, as the file itself points this out)
    hdmi_group=1
    hdmi_mode=8

2) then modify all /boot/launchers scripts and comment out the last lines, e.g.
    # resolution back to 720x480i
    # tvservice -e "CEA 6 HDMI"
    # fbset -depth 8
    # fbset -g 720 480 720 480 16

This has made Attract Mode render in 240p on my 15khz CRT, even after quitting a game.

I've since managed to get the menu to be 240p and the launch scripts set to ignore switching back to 480i. But unless anyone else is interested, I won't go into details here. Maybe I was the last to figure it out!

Greetings! I've been working with dee2eR's jamma-to-pi3 setup for a little while (https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=363338). While the games are playing great in beautiful 240p, the default Attract Mode setup appears to be in 480i -- jittery screen and barely legible text on my CRTs. A few people suggested Verticools theme but it also appears to be 480i.

Does anyone have experience with a 240p theme who can help?
