-Support for Fix It Felix Jr (box86/wine, vert monitor only)
-Support for DonutDodo (hori monitor only, you need to buy the Pi edition)
-Limited support for ArcadePC based games (eg. Taito Type X, advanced setup and USB memory stick required)
-Automated refresh rate and resolution switching.
-Hotkeys for exit game (long hold start), coin (start + b1), pause (start + joy down), MAME menu (start + joy right), RA menu (start + b6)
-Improved ARpiCADE Service Menu for system setup (cab Service button OR 'F4' on keyboard from game selction menu)
 
New service menu looks much more like a traditional arcade PCB service menu and has been broken into subsections to make it less of a confusing mess.  New features include crosshatch and RGB colourbars options for monitor setup.  A few settings have indicators that show what their setting was at boot too.

Works in low res (default, can use 240p or 480i for menus - selectable from the service menu) and high res.  Switching low res to high res can be done without a monitor by creating an empty text file callled 'highres.txt' in the boot partition and running the system on a Pi, it will turn off automatically when the system is setup.  Switching from high res back to low res is similarly done with 'lowres.txt'.

Please note: the four player adaptor is only working on Pi5 using this release.  Pi4 users with four player adaptor please use ARpiCADE_4.  Default setup is for 2 player (see config.txt to set four player mode).

 Also available as an update to 2.7, see the 2.7 thread for the update.

Hi Dylan. Is there a way I can tell what version im already running? I would like to do the incremental updates but I have no idea what version I'm on.

Not really, short of checking which images you've downloaded or something...  I always forget to add a version info thing, the couple of times I have I then forget to update it.... (eg. in the current run.sh it says version 2.4, even on 2.8 - my bad)

Maybe it's worth checking run.sh, if it says 2.4 you should be able to upgrade to 2.5 then 2.6 etc. and if you had a newer one already it should be safe as long as you do all the updates one at a time.

Thanks mate. I did notice the fat32 part label is called BOOTFS and not the later BOOT label.

run.sh says

# ARpiCADE version info
#echo "Version info - ARpiCADE_5"

Is there any way of copying over my "displays" etc from this image. I spent ages making  favourites and neo geo displays using the tag feature etc

can you see the second partition on your PC?  The files you want will be somewhere in /home/pi/.attract/

If you can't see the second partition on your PC you could copy the files to the first partition from the command line on the Pi.  The whole .attract folder should be under 35meg but you may want to check the free space on /boot first.  Use the command:

sudo cp -r ~/.attract /boot/firmware/attractbak/

Thanks mate. Just made a copy of the .attract folder as I use paragon and was able to acess the partition.

No prob.  Don't just copy the old files in to the new one,  manually merge them (mainly attract.cfg, if there are romlists you can prob just copy them over) in Notepad++ so you don't remove any of the new changes since whatever version you had was.

Noted, thank you! Yeah looks like some .tag files and will be sure merge the displays in attract.cfg

Super keen to check out v2.8
