Attract-Mode v1.3 is released. Attract-Mode is a graphical front-end for command line emulators such as MAME, MESS and Nestopia. It hides the underlying operating system and is intended to be controlled with a joystick, gamepad or spin dial, making it ideal for use in arcade cabinet setups. Attract-Mode is open source and runs on Linux, Mac OS-X and Windows.

Features:
- Configuration menu for easy configuration of most settings.
- Fully scriptable display layouts written in the Squirrel programming language.
- Includes the "Attrac-Man" layout, a playable Pacman-inspired game that unfolds around the edges of your game menu.
Frontend controls can be mapped to any joystick, keyboard or mouse input.
- User configurable sounds and ambient music.
- Display images, videos and information related to specific games.
- Supports screen rotation and flipping (including auto-rotation).
- Filter game lists based on specific attributes.
- Automatically generate game lists from directory contents.
- Import game information from MAME/MESS -listxml and -listsoftware commands.
- Catver.ini and nplayers.ini file support.
- Unicode character (UTF-8) support.
- Configurable screensaver.

Attract-Mode v1.3 Changelog:
General
Added the ability to mark and filter games using custom tags.
Multiple rom paths can now be specified in each emulator configuration.
Multiple paths can now be specified for each artwork resource.
If an artwork path contains a subdirectory that matches a rom's name, then a random video or image from that subdirectory is loaded.
Added support for setups where each rom is stored in a separate subdirectory.
The frontend can now run in windowed, fullscreen, or the default "fill screen" mode
There is no longer a special "movie" artwork. Any artwork or static image can now contain images or videos. Videos are given preference if found.
Added commands to add/remove custom tags, jump to the next letter, jump to the previous letter, and to launch the screensaver.
Fixed image flipping on scaled images
Fixed text scaling
Fixed video crash
Various small improvements to the overlay menus
Improved screensaver

Layouts and Plug-ins
Added "Surface" objects for layouts, which are offscreen textures that other images, videos, texts and surfaces can be drawn onto. The surface itself is treated like any other image and can have effects such as skew, pinch, shaders, etc. applied to it.
Improved layout control over video playback (see the "video_flags" and "video_playing" attributes)
Added a file_name attribute so that scripts can directly get/set the image/video filename for any artwork or static image
Layout and plugin scripts now have access to squirrel's standard "blob", "io", and "system" libraries.
Reworked and simplified the interface for how plug-ins can access to external commands (the "fe.plugin_command()" functions).
Added initial support for script library modules.
