When I copy the fonts directly in :
M:\attractplus\layouts/Arcadeflow_141
it's work fine!

Are you using the latest build of attractplus? Because folder support for fonts is a recent implementation…

The new fonts locations are coded into layout.nut so you should change all paths starting with “fonts/“ and remove that part. Or you can go to attractplus GitHub page and download the latest binary (look into Actions) that will work fine with 14.1

Arcadeflow 14.2 is out!

This revision boosts performance even more than 14.1, suspending redraw of all tiles that are not actually updating, not just off-screen tiles.

There's a strange interaction with power saving mode on macOS that I'm still investigating but might not impact your configuration, in case you see menu stuttering or jumping disable power saving from AM options.

Enjoy!

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?

Hi, I am getting this message after updating AF (from 11 to 13.3 or later), where do you go to set this value to 0?  I could not find it in the options.  Is it somewhere in a config file that I need to manually update?  Thanks.

So I have had AF installed on my cabinet for a while, it was running version 11.0.  I didn't realize that I hadn't turned on the auto-update option, so when it would prompt me that there was a new version available, it would be downloaded but not installed.  I tried to update to 14.5, and all I see on the screen is black.  Thinking I'd hosed something up, I copied my entire AttractMode folder to a backup location, and started from scratch, newly unextracted AM 2.62, .exe files for AM+, and a new download of AF 14.5, but the same thing happens, when I select AF as my display, all I see is a black screen with a couple of white spots.  If I select the Basic or Cools, or some other theme, they work.  Any thoughts on what I'm going wrong?

You are probably using the "release" version of AM+, while you should download the latest stable build. If you already have a github account you can get it from here:

https://github.com/oomek/attractplus/actions/runs/2985758087

Scroll at the bottom of the page and you should see download links for the artifacts. Don't use the old folder structure: AM+ will recreate that when you run the executable. If you can't access that section on github you can download the latest windows build here:

http://www.mixandmatch.it/AF_WIP/WindowsMXE-static.zip

New versions of Arcadeflow are developed with the latest stable build of AM+ in mind, taking advantage of all the new features implemented. Let me know if this fixes your issues

Arcadeflow 14.6 is out!

I think the main new feature here is RetroArch integration. AF will allow you to change the core associated with an emulator, and edit the .cfg file accordingly. It should work on every system as long as you keep RA installed in its default directory, or you can specify RA and cores custom folders.

Enjoy!

What's new:
- It is now possible to change RA cores from AF UI
- Added option to enable RetroArch integration
- Fixed issue with multifilter jumps

[zpaolo11x]

Arcadeflow 14.7 is out!

New RetroArch folder options to work better with any configuration, plus new options to cleanup and manage the games database.

Enjoy!

## What's new in v 14.7 #

- Added option to reset database without affecting romlist
- Added new option to remove unused entries in games db
- Added support for RA 32 Bit in Windows
- Added new options for RetroArch custom folders
- Fixed deleted tags showing in list

Hello. Is it possible to leave the videos in vertical format (9:16)?

Hello. Is it possible to leave the videos in vertical format (9:16)?

I'm not sure I get what you mean by leaving the videos in vertical formats: it should adapt the video thumbnail to the video aspect ratio. If you mean you are using a "vertical arcade" cabinet with 9:16 thumbnails, there's an option to optimize the layout for this situation, I think it's under the "Thumbnails" section
