I really like this theme, and it works very nicely in my PC/mame setup.

In my retropie setup I haven't been successful in getting ArcadeFlow working. I can run Attractmode just fine, but what need to be done next?

I'm sorry but as far as I know there are a lot of issues with Arcadeflow on Raspberry Pi: Arcadeflow uses a lot fo nested surfaces and open gl shaders, that don't work well with the Pi. I don't have a Pi myself to test, but in the past some people on the forum tried to make it run with no success. I'm sorry

Arcadeflow 7.2 is out with new glyphs, and a completely "decorated" options menu

Enjoy and stay home!

AFAIK it's not possible to solve this unless I re-code most of Arcadeflow, and even doing that, it will loose most of the special effects that make Arcadeflow what it is It seems the Pi4 could support more features needed for the layout but preliminary tests seem to prove the contrary.

Ciao. Migliora ogni giorno che passa.
Una domanda; come faccio a sovrascrivere la versione 7.1 con la 7.2 senza perdere le impostazioni? se copio solo il file layout.nut mi azzrea tutte le preferenze?
Grazie

Eh purtroppo questo è un punto spinoso: quando cambia il formato del file di preferenze (perchè magari ci sono voci nuove nel menù o altre sono cambiate), per sicurezza viene tutto resettato Sto cercando di pensare a un sistema che mantenga le opzioni che non sono state modificate, ma ci vorrà un po' per implementarlo.

Come soluzione tampone (che potrebbe però dare dei problemi) apri il file pref_layoutoptions della versione 7.1 e modifica la prima riga in modo che sia 2.8, in questo modo non verranno resettate

- Someone asked if you could organize by categories: consoles, arcades, portables, etc. Have you looked if it can be done? is that the Menu display becomes very long.

Quick update: "nested" displays menu will come in Arcadeflow 7.3 I found a workaround that makes it faster to switch displays, so I just need to add some polish, some logos and it'll be ready. At first it will be only for the text list (or logo list), I'll have to change something more to make it work in the "list plus images" version.

[line] "coleco vis,CD32,CRT"

This line doesn't sound good, but that's not the whole log, I need the part where it says in what line the error is located. Also maybe your attract.cfg could help.
