New front end for Raspberry Pi Arcade Emulation
« on: May 28, 2016, 09:55:01 pm »
For those of you who want a hyperspin style front end with your Pi, Attract Mode may work for you.

Bear in mind the layouts/themes are very varied, so you can make it look like anything, not just geared for cabinet use.

This build lets you flip between Emulation Station and Attract Mode as your front end.

Any idea how to set this up?  I've seen on those videos somebody using robospin theme,  but I don't have that in my build.  I didn't download the image,  I just compiled and installed it on top of my retropie setup.

I'm a bit lost.  I've copied over 2 of my own themes now,  but they aren't showing up!  Any ideas? Do I need to change a config file somewhere?
