Attract-Mode Layout – SDArcade v2.2

SDARCADE v2.2: The original SDARCADE theme is one of the first I used with my arcade cabinet and one I really like.  It was originally created by Jedione over at the attract-mode forums who was inspired by the ArcadeSD’s front end, but it didn’t work with the Pi.  Dee2er modified the theme to work with the ..

Attract-Mode Layout – SDArcade V3.00

SDArcade is the PERFECT Attract-Mode front end theme for lower resolution arcade monitor setups. Originally made by JediOne for the PC version of Attract-Mode in the vein of the ArcadeSD arcade multigame system, Dee2er converted it for use with the Pi. It’s been through a number of changes since then. Version 3 brings to the table ..

Attract-Mode Layout – Shuffle

SHUFFLE: A simple general-themed layout that utilizes the conveyor_helper modules “Coverflow” option that enables art components to “shuffle” … in this case, the video snaps.  It’s a pretty cool animation effect and was quite surprised at how well even the Pi 3 handles it.  All modules necessary are implemented in to the layout itself so ..

Attract-Mode Plug-in: Now Loading

NOW LOADING is a plug-in for attract mode that was born of necessity.  I was having an issue with my newly built MAME PC rig oddly “freezing” right at selection before going to a black screen.  Even using the fadetogame plugin,  for whatever reason,  with my video card plus CRTEmudriver plus Attract-Mode,  at selection it ..

Capcom Anthology Custom ARpiCADE Setup

Many of you may (or may not) have read my write up for the Capcom Anthology cabinet that I have in the arcade.  It's running Darksoft's multi CPS2 kit in it,  and until recently,  I've also been running a Pandora's Box (first it was a PB3 then more recently a PB4) with all games disabled ..

How To Edit ARpiCADE ROMLIST Files

Over the last year or so that I have been tinkering with the ARpiCADE, one thing has become increasingly clear. One of the biggest hurdles to people creating their own custom lists of games or those wanting to change emulators for a particular ROM is the ‘ROMLIST’. Some folks don’t have any idea what they ..
