General / Choosing default font in AttractMode Plus

General / Romlists and ESRB rating?
« Last post by steelepdx on February 24, 2025, 05:55:34 PM »I've tried to find this information but cannot find anything. I have two questions:
1) How do you label the entry in the romlist (MAME, for example) so that a theme that is looking for this information will read it? It looks like the very last item in any entry in the romlist is defined as "rating", but no matter what I try in that spot (numeric, initial letters of the ratings, full text), my layout (Arcade Bliss Information Overload Edition) doesn't read the info (It is supposed to, I think).
2) Is there an "extras" file that has all of this information (similar to catver.ini) that I can point the MAME cfg file to read when building the romlist?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Scripting / Help in getting Scrolling Text to go RIGHT and/or VERTICAL
« Last post by pacman_fan on February 23, 2025, 06:11:08 PM »I just starting using this feature and love it!
But my text is only scrolling Right to Left, and Horizontal Bounce works also.
But i'm unable to get Horizontal_Right and any of the Vertical options to function.
Even when using the sample object scrolling layout included, The Horiztonal_Right and Vertical examples all scroll Right to Left.
I've searched this forun as best i can, but unable to find out what i'm doing wrong.
Any advice?
Thank you all!

Themes / Issues with SDarcadeMod_V2.2f
« Last post by Ramsrule on February 10, 2025, 04:59:05 PM »I really like this theme for my MAME vertical setup (it's one of my two finalists to use full time) where I've got 80 favorites running on an older I7 PC.
Unfortunately I've run into a problem where this theme seems to have a coding issue and slowly starts to consume CPU resources. Once it hits about 15% CPU utilization in Task Manager, something happens to force it back to normal (which is around 5%), but then it kills the FPS down to 30 FPS where you then begin to notice lag in the starfield and game videos. The CPU usage issue will then repeat the entire process, and each subsequent reset drops the FPS another couple of frames. Ultimately it bottoms out around 12 FPS after only running for around 10 minutes which makes it unusable.
I've tried the following in an attempt to resolve the issue with no success -
Any ideas as to what may be causing the issue? Thanks for any replies in advance.....

I've tried the following in an attempt to resolve the issue with no success -
- Disabled the starfield effect
- Removed all videos from the media folder so that only images would be used for the game previews
- Turned off the Sequencer plugin (which I thought was the root cause - but even if AM is just sitting on a single game using this theme, it'll eventually drop frames)
Any ideas as to what may be causing the issue? Thanks for any replies in advance.....

Themes / Issues with the Flex version and Sequencer
« Last post by Ramsrule on February 10, 2025, 04:34:02 PM »Hey everyone,
I really like this display for my vertical MAME setup. Unfortunately, it seems to not work correctly with the Sequencer plugin - it shows the wrong cabinet image when toggling through the list of games.
I'm using a filtered list of 80 games. When AM loads, everything is fine. As soon as it randomly selects the next game, and for any subsequent random selections, it displays the image for the next cabinet in the list. The selected wheel image, and the info at the bottom of the screen are all correct.
Any ideas as to how to resolve this issue? Thanks for any replies in advance.
