Attract-Mode Layout – SDAMax III

SDAMax II is an excellent front-end layout to use for both vertical and horizontal oriented arcade machines. The idea for SDAMax came when I decided to implement a “full screen” option for the SDArcade layout … however, with some of the additions I’d made to the SDArcade layout, I decided the best plan of action was to create a “fork” of sorts and flesh the idea out as it’s own separate layout. This is the result. The layout works great in both horizontal and vertical modes (changeable via the settings menu).  I invite you to give SDAMax II a try!

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 ..

VERTICAL SPHERE: This theme actually started as a Data East Logo.  If you look at the shape of the circle and then the marquee section below,  you can see it.  It features what I think is a pretty cool “sphere” effect for the preview videos.  Marquees slide across the bottom left and right smoothly thanks ..

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 ..
