Circo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have never heard of it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talbin Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I first heard about it from simply austin. Apparently it can use hyperspin themes and is much more modern. Haven't played with it myself though. http://attractmode.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ches Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm setting it up currently on an OS X system, and it's working pretty well, nice since there are basically no other modern frontends that run on OS X… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePagel Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Plus it's open source. I like the idea if the developer decides to abandon the project someone else might eventually fork it. That just happened with emulation station a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthedude Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I am using attract mode. It is pretty good, easy to navigate around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saitoh00 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I used in my bartop attract mode with rasberry pi2, when i see how a cheap hardware can move one thing with weels, videos, effects,like hiperspin i cant believe. Its the best alternative for emulationstation in raspberry and the best i think for hiperspin, but is really new and have very small amount of info.

SamSC Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The latest update of Launchbox 6.8 is now suppose to include attractmode as an option on their FE. I haven't tried it yet though so I don't know much about it but I will check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJohn0X Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Attract mode feels stuck in the past competing with Hyperspin. Hyperspin defined arcade frontends for a decade. It was pretty but archaic and took forever to setup and build. But now we have frontends like Launchbox/Bigbox which are fucking gorgeous and take almost no time to setup or learn. Basically, Attract Mode looks good but feels Archaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractmode deserves a LOT more credit and is also very actively being developed. I really like Launchbox too but if you change the layout/theme with attractmode, (and there are many to choose from) it looks WAY better than hyperspin, runs faster, can be used in 16x9 resolution natively, is available in Linux, Mac, Windows, Raspberry Pi, etc. and is relatively easy to set up. If you do a simple search for attractmode with google or youtube, you'll find that a lot of people are using the simple/basic hyperspin-looking themes with it and that's probably because they wanted something that looks like hyperspin but in 16x9 resolution. However, the other themes available for attractmode look extremely nice and run super smooth :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 After a quick search I am not sure what attractmode is. Like a "theme" for frontends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmonkus Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 AttractMode is a front end and pretty good for a very streamlined set in stone setup on lower end hardware. Managing a games collection with it is a pain in the ass though so you don't want to be adding and removing games, that is why I said if your game selection is set in stone.

f8lbyte Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I thought everytime AttractMode was mentioned they were talking about the feature in BigBox. Now this is a frontend worth investigating, with it supporting HyperSpin themes and it being open-source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r5tl Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Seems it's working on Retropie. Hope to get the Genesis USB HUB to make something nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3615 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Sure I saw Austins Youtube and looking for one of those and could find one on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLS Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Attract Mode certainly doesn't get the publicity it deserves. BTW the Emulation World definitely misses an updated (mid '17) front-end comparison/review/guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Going to setup attract mode as my next project once i finish with HyperSpin. Hoping i can see good performance regardless of the setup process :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared with HyperSpin, AttractMode runs a lot more smoothly and is a lot more flexible with themes/layouts. Once I figured out how to properly use AttractMode, I stopped using HyperSpin almost instantly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to go through the setup though because it allows me to get RocketLauncher setup effectively also. I assume that AttractMode will allow me to use RocketLauncher?

RocketLauncher works just the same as it does with HyperSpin, LaunchBox, and other frontends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
