Providing additional boxart, wheel art, and video snaps is helpful to the community, as these are often difficult to find in full, especially with older systems like the Sega Model 2 and Model 3.

The way you are doing it is correct and is the recommended way in MAME native environment: create a custom list (custom folder/display mode) like “Namco11”.

Something like this perhaps :)
Ok, I went beyond just adding text, but if one can make a wish, right ? :D

Yes, there is a way! SumatraPDF can automatically read all supported formats without changing options—you just need to set it as the default app for those file types once, and you're done.

Emulators / Re: PCSX2 AVX2 QT launch error...
« Last post by Vyauiorty on June 26, 2025, 12:56:12 AM »
actually thank you very much i also encountered Attract-Mode error but i was instructed like this i don't know if it is correct :
Open CMD and test the same command that Attract-Mode runs (e.g., pcsx2-qt.exe "C:\Games\MyGame.iso").

Run Attract-Mode as administrator if needed.

Check logs in both PCSX2 and Attract-Mode (attract.cfg and pcsx2-log.txt).

Have you checked your folder permissions? Sometimes Windows 11 can have stricter permissions that prevent Attract Mode or the emulator from accessing game files.

Scripting / Adding informationtext to excisting Theme
« Last post by Jesper1972 on June 25, 2025, 06:45:09 AM »
Hi guys,
I hope there is any ninjas here

Im using "At-The-Arcade Flex" and Im loving it, it is 100% amazing
BUT... Im a statistics nerd and I would love to add a text-footer to the screen, such as in the "ArcadeBliss Cab Edition Reloaded" for instance, to show year, genre, game title or romname and how many times the game was played and for how long..

Im guessing it's possible to add this to the excisting layout.nut but before I mess everything up totally is there anyone else who alread did something to this effect and can share a layout ?


Cheers !!!
Keep on gaming !
