I downloaded a few themes for this site and a few of them have "intro" files. (ie. ArcadeDark 84...etc)

Where do I put these intro files so they will play when GameEx loads up?

I've downloaded the AVI video snap clips from EmuMovies. I am unable to get them to play however when I'm under the MAME games emulator. I'm not sure if I have them in the correct place. Do I put them under C:\Emulators\Mame32\Avisnaps or C:\Assets\Mame\Avisnaps?

I'm a total noob so please bear with me.

Thanks

You have Shark007 codecs installed?

Let's get the game snaps going first then we'll focus on the other videos.
