Not service menu, I just kinda continued thread. Sorry.

Hit tab.... That brings you to what I call the Displays menu's.. You can even scroll to the bottom and select Display's.. and try to change the display menu.. it never takes effect no matter what I have done..

Again.. just hit from Attract Mode.. Hit Tab.. that whole display, is supposed to be able to be modified...
I cant seem to be able to do so.

Which display? Each game list can be set to any layout (theme) you like independently of each other. The method is:

-hit 'tab' (or 'test' on the cab) from inside Attract-Mode to open it's menus
-navigate to 'Displays'
-navigate to the list you want to change (All Games is possibly the one you want, I'm not sure)
-navigate to 'Layout' and press enter or b1
-press up/down on joystick to scroll through the available menu themes.
-press enter or b1 to select the theme you want
-select 'back' until you're back at the game selection menu, if you're on the list you changed it should be changed now.
-(if you don't like the new layout, repeat all steps until you find what you want)

I have done a super lousy explanation..

Hit 'Tab'
Navigate to 'Displays'
Navigate to 'Display Menu Options'.. try to change the menu style, doesn't change the Displays screen as Attract-Mode says it can. No matter what menu Style(theme) you choose doesn't work.

What does this change it changes the 'Tab' -> 'Display' menu. You can make it look better, add images etc..

The Display Menu Options only change the displays menu (the list of gamelists basically, not the actual gamelists), this option will only affect the system selection screen, but the options do work, just only for one screen.

yea that's what I am saying it's not changing anything. I want certain fonts, and a certain design... I can select any layout and it never changes for me.

just picking reboot from the service menu should get you back to the game menu. If the system is loading directly to the service menu the config file for the regular game selection instance of Attract-Mode may have corrupted or some other reason it's not loading...

If that doesn't help you may be stuck on some other menu, if you have to take a photo of it and I can identify the menu. It may save some confusion.
