Hello! I'm a total n00b to Linux and am loving my Arpicade, which is housed inside my vertical New Astro City.

Right, intro over.

Please can anybody advise what and where the source file is that's used to provide game name, year and company in Attract-Mode?

I've found the romlists where they can be edited, but as soon as I rescan arcade ROMs any changes are zapped. My theory is that it must source the info from a file somewhere, so I just need to find that somewhere so that I can make perma-changes.

I'd just like to fix several errors/omissions in it, and will be happy to share the file once done. Well, if I can find it...

Many thanks for reading - many more if you can please provide an answer!

They are the TXT files that are located on the LINUX formatted drive in the folder:

home/pi/.attract/romlists

If you can't access the linux formatted drive, you can download software called "Linux File System for Windows" here: https://www.paragon-software.com/home/linuxfs-windows/

It's a paid program BUT it has a trial period and even after the trial period it works ... just half/assed... but it's well worth the $20.00 they're asking for it... so buy it!

The reference files the game list is derived from are in /home/pi/.advance/ called [emulator].lst
Each MAME version has it's own file.
