Arcadeflow theme v 17.4 [Release] Updated 05 September 2024

[motaromk9]

I'm looking forward to testing the new features, but on the site it looks like it has a little problem, clicking on the version 10.9 link is downloading version 10.8. And once again, thank you so much for this wonderful theme!

Thank you for the heads up, fixed!

I tested version 10.9 and it seems to have some error; when I press the button selecting some screen, the screen transition doesn't happen immediately, it needs a second key command to make the transition happen. Or could this be some error here on my PC? I did a fresh install of the theme, I didn't update it automatically.

You mean when you press “enter” on a screenshot? Can you run attract-console.exe and share the output when you do that button press? Also, what version of Attract Mode are you using?

I don't know commands to use in attract-console, but I did some prints, maybe you can identify here. I can try to make a video also showing the problem...

The console should output errors when you use AF, so if you do what you said is not working right there should be some error message there. Can you please try to make a video?

[motaromk9]

Note that when I hit ''enter" the screen transition doesn't happen right away, I need to hit another key to show me what I've selected.
I hope you can see from the video. I also tested it on another PC and the same thing happens.

Very clear, I see what's going on and I was able to replicate it on my Windows rig: you are running Attract Mode 2.6.1, but this version of AF requires newer builds.

You can try with AM daily builds, available here: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2324.0 that should fix the issue, but if you want to be double sure, you should switch to Attract Mode Plus.

If you have a github account you can download the latest build of attract plus (that is the one I use for development and debugging) from here: https://github.com/oomek/attractplus/actions/runs/1194184396 download the windows "static" executable and just place it in your existing AM folder. This build of AM+ is mostly a cleanup of AM daily with many issues corrected and some tricks for complex layouts like mine, so check it out.

[motaromk9]

Now everything works normally, I didn't even know about the existence of these daily AM compilations, thank you very much!

Arcadeflow 11.0 is out!

This is mostly a bufix for the metadata editor that had issues when changing romlist, plus some improvements on file management and new features on the metadata editor and keyboard.

Enjoy!

Hi. I have two steam games problems. The first one is related to those "x" that I can't open the games. The second is related to the aspect ratio of videos that should be 16:9 but are 4:3. thanks

The red cross appears when AF can't find the file of the "rom", maybe in this case there's no rom file so you can disable that going in Options, Thumbnails and disable "Game not available indicator"

As far as the aspect ratio is concerned, it's a mistake I made in the system configuration file: you can edit the "data_systems.txt" file, look for the steam entry which is like this:

Code: [Select]

steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,4,3,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null
And change it to this so the aspect will be derived from the video/snapshot:

Code: [Select]

steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,0,0,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null
or this to force the aspect to 16/9:

Code: [Select]

steam,0,0,STEAM,CRT,NONE,16,9,COMPUTER,Steam,null,Steam,null,null,null,null

Is it possible to switch displays with triggers?

[zpaolo11x]

Is it possible to switch displays with triggers?

In AM options you can customize controls and assign hotkeys to "prev_display" and "next_display" signals, so it should be possible to assign them to triggers (you mean like L2/R2 shoulder buttons?)

Yup, L2/R2, I'll try it later, thanks.

Btw. this hue color frame option hard freezes AM+, and I couldn't find how to revert it manually in files so I had to reset everything.
