Arcadeflow 14.0 is out!

Apart from some minor improvements and bug fixes, this version introduces a huge performance boost for lower spec systems. By suspending surfaces redraw when not needed, this version made my N5105 with integrated GPU run at 60 fps at 1080p (instead of 720p as before). You'll need the latest build of Attract Mode Plus to enjoy the improved performance.

Enjoy!

You can download 14.0 from here: https://github.com/zpaolo11x/Arcadeflow/releases/tag/14.0 download the "Source code (zip)", unpack it in its own folder and place it into Layouts folder.

Thank  you a lot!! it's just a little bit slow with me.

Just a question 2 questions :

- Arcadeflow ask me to set at 0 'image_cache_mbytes '. Do you know why?

- The list is empty and I don't know why! I tried with game boy roms (861 roms):

# Generated by Attract-Mode Plus v2.6.2

executable           M:\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args                 -L M:\RetroArch\cores\vbam_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"

- Arcadeflow ask me to set at 0 'image_cache_mbytes '. Do you know why?

Well, image cache in Attract Mode has some issues, for layouts that use a lot of graphics and loads them often, keeping it enabled gives a lot of errors like disappearing fonts and images, so it's better to disable it by setting that parameter to 0.

- The list is empty and I don't know why! I tried with game boy roms (861 roms):

There's an "Error opening romlist: Game Boy" in your log, even before loading AF, so it seems there's something wrong in your setup. Maybe you can share the romlist .txt file so I can take a look. Also you can try deleting .db1 and .db2 files in the romlist folder to restart the AF database creation.

Thx!

I'll set it to 0. I'll see if AF leaks.

I'll delete the dB file too. To generate the dB file again I have juste to generate the rom list in AF?

Db files are regenerated at launch if they are missing .

Hi,

thx it's works!
It's just strange because the snap and title don't display (see the sreenshot)

Nevertheless I mentionned them in my config :

Maybe I forgot the "" in the path!
Shame on me!

[tom75000]

don't work always the same!

[zpaolo11x]

don't work always the same!

So the list is populated but no artwork is loaded? Does it work with other layouts?

[tom75000]

It'd OK now I just but the fanart sir in attractplus/scrapes
And the sir snap and wheel in roms/systems/roms/snap or wheel.

Everything works but the edge box art png file are not transparent in AF!

In the theme I want to display the cartbridge in the selected game page. Do you know how to do?

Thx a lot
