what do you mean by "does nothing"
current theme stays the same? does AM work ok with other theme?
Or after you switch to NEVATO theme - AM just displays centered game list (that is a fail-safe view for AM when something goes wrong with the theme).
im runing the "attract-mode" using the direct acces.
After that, a menu is displayed:
All emulators, in a white text, with a black background.
At the end of the list, it appears:
kodi
Exit attract-mode
¿that is a failsafe mode?
EDIT: sorry for my english.
I followed this tutorial that is on the developer's website
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL NEVATO theme
[1] download and unzip theme
[2] copy NEVATO folder to your / layout folder in ATTRACT MODE
[3] choose NEVATO as your layout for AM in your DISPLAY> LAYOUT
Place the unzipped folder in / usr / share / attract / layouts
EDIT2:
im using odroid gamestation
