It can be done under linux by making AM boot with no de/wm ... also by making layouts/roms folders visible over the network (like retropie). Something like than anyway....

I m using retroarch for mame :/ ... Do I need the mame program ?
Retroarch can't generate the listxml. You can use AM to scrape using thegamesdb.net to get the info or install the matching version of mame and do a "mame.exe -listxml > mame.xml" and then reference the file created in the "import_extras" line of the AM mame.cfg. Once this is done you can delete/remove the mame install if you don't want it.

I m using Attract Mode 2.4 on Windows 10. AM runs on a 2nd monitor 4:3 aspect ratio. The layout interprets that all the games are vertical games so the horizontal game snaps are cropped.

Hmm I see many things that are not how they should be in that screenshot... you don't have snaps? because all the tiles have no screenshots except the one that is zoomed in (probably playing a video). But that's not the main issue.
What puzzles me is the aspect ratio: while the screenshot resolution is undoubtedly 4:3, it seems that AF "thinks" it's a 16:9 and therefore stretches the thumbs. This shouldn't be the case, AF should adapt to the proper aspect ratio... Are you using AF 19? I'll prepare a debug layout to check what's going on. Also try re-downloading AF because there was a mistake in one upload
AF should adapt thumbs with respect to the Info.Rotation property of games, sometimes it's necessary to refresh the romlist to make it work.
A listbox 4:3 version. Not sure if work properly. I made it this afternoon and i have not tested yet.
