Arcadeflow theme v 17.5 [Release] Updated 17 December 2024

[Enkak]

Just tried but sadly the same problems seem to persist with letter T before H. In these prints, for example, the scroll simple refuses to go back/left after you reach the letter S.
I can also confirm that this issues seem to happen only with MAME. Tried using it in other system/romlist and everything seems to be working good, no problems at all. Even the alphabet picks always the first game of each letter as it should, etc.

Sorry giving you so much trouble. Maybe other people can replicate these issues with MAME?

I found a bug.

When you set this theme in the main menu having other systems, the listing gets banged.
The "Scrollbar Style LabelList" option does not appear in the main menu or when accessing other systems. (image1)

The organization comes back when you start selecting the system. But the problem of the ScrollbarBar Style LabelList continues when you access one of the systems. (Image 2 and 3)

Sorry my english.

You are absolutely right: the fix was correct but in the incorrect order (long story short, it didn't fix anything). This time I'm pretty sure it's ok since I downloaded the Goonies rom just to test

I see the issues you mention, but I only use one system and one display so I never experienced that. Can you tell me how to configure AM for multiple systems like you have, so that I can debug it? Also when you launch AM with Arcadeflow, is there any error message on the console you can copy paste here for debug?

zpaolo11x any chance you could upload the latest version of your theme to google drive or anywhere else? For some reason the link to your site won't work for me and it always times out, thanks in advance!

Error message does not exist. I use only one monitor.

I put in the main menu the systems "Capcom I, Capcom II, Capcom III, NeoGeo, Atomiswave", among others. When I run the Attractmode the main menu appears messed up as reported. By going through the systems the listing returns to normal.

The "ScrollbarBar Style LabelList" option disappears when you access the main menu or some system.

I use the latest version of Attractmode. Here are the settings I use for your theme.

Sure, you can download the latest version here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oLCme-XK4We57y1mYwyzrAhpRPUoPdU1?usp=sharing

I'll add the other versions as soon as possible and I'll try to keep it updated with new releases

Everything seems to be fixed now, congrats!

Ok, I think I'm getting it, let me check if I got it right, each "system" is in fact a Display in Attract Mode configuration? And AM is starting in "Display Menu" mode, right? So basically my theme glitches when used as display menu? Sorry for the basic questions

Fantastic news, hopefully there are no other names causing issues with the routine I'll publish the update ASAP for everyone

Perfectly.   

[zpaolo11x]

Perfectly.   

So, yesterday I played a bit with multiple displays, a thing I never did before. Basically my conclusion is that, as it stands, Arcadeflow is not good as a display menu theme, so if you don't want to have issues (like the first picture you posted with all the boxes overalpping) you should go in Displays -> Display Menu Options and select "Default" as "Menu style / Layout". With this setting you should have the display list in the usual overlapping menu, for some reasons the "frosted glass" effect is missing here, I'll see if it can be fixed.

Of course it would be much better to be able to use Arcadeflow for the displays too, but I think I'll have to recode it properly because it seems to have issues right now (which is expected because Arcadeflow is heavily tailored to Mame).

As far as the missing labels bar is concerned, could you test if, with Arcadeflow 4.3 and using the "Default" theme for display menu, the label list is working as expected?

It works as you suggested. But other way the problem persists.

Who knows in a next update you can fix this? 

This theme is very beautiful. It's a beautiful job.

Honestly... I'm already working on it It seems the issue is in the generation of the labels, since the display menu doesn't have a proper order, the label is always "null" and that messes with everything. I'm trying to patch it, but I think I'll need your help for some beta-testing
