Happy Birthday, Tempest! An horrid queasiness first invades the ear, and in that flatulence look towards the tempest 's rear! I couldn't resist, my friend! I hope you have a great day and welcome to the Grey Club! It's nicer here!

Here's what I came up with, hopefully it's what you're looking for. I was going to try and use all original logos but it turns out CPS1 and 2 never had logos. Rather than using the CPS-3 logo and 2 generic ones, I decided to just make them all uniform. To install just download the attachment and extract the two PNG files into your Aeon Inspirat/Media folder. Set your custom background to 'Theme_Background_Capcom CPS' and it should work. Unfortunately as far as I can tell there's no way to make this work for the Arcade/Capcom submenu. Capcom CPS.zip

Ok, I figured it all out! The problem is coming up with a way everybody can get a screenshot of their game without needing to use any extra software or special mobile devices. The obvious solution is to use MAME to capture the screenshot while it's playing. The problem with that (that I found out) is that if an image already exists in the /MAME/snap folder for that rom, a new image won't be remade. Maybe it's because the files are archive attrib or something. Regardless, just using the default settings in MAME to press F12 and capture a screenshot won't work if you have a nice and tidy setup completely with pre-existing screenshots. So the solution requires a little simple poking around in MAME's settings and then you can have MAME capture images for you in their own directory INSIDE the /snap directory, thereby allowing you to make new ones. Another nice thing in the setting I chose is that it will increment you're snaps, so you can have multiple ones (also fixing the inability to overwrite pre-existing images). While you can set up to use the incremential numbering in the root /snap directory, there are THOUSANDS in there, and finding the one you just took is way too complicated. So this method simplifies finding the image you're looking for! So here's the instructions! First of all, let me start out by saying I'm using MAMEUI for this, and it's actually MAMEUI64 as I have a 64-bit processor and Windows 7 x64. So your own settings might be different, but it shouldn't be that difficult to find... Step one is to click on the OPTIONS tab at the top of the screen. Step two is to click on the INTERFACE OPTIONS... menu item. Step three is to change the "Screenshot Pattern" option to "Gamename/Gamename + Increment" Step four is to play your game, press F12 to save the screenshot. When you go into your predefined path for screenshots, you should see a new folder using the ROM name, and inside that is newly created snapshot. Each time you hit F12, it should create a new image for you! Hopefully that will help make adding screenshots to post your highscores easier. Granted, using a mobile device to take a screenshot and post it directly to the thread would be great, but some of us (me, I know ) don't have such devices. And it's a pain to have to install more software to solve such a simple problem. Hope this helps the community out! Enjoy.
