Help! Artwork problem

[TalkingBull]

I can't get any of the artwork files to show when I launch a game in GameEx. I have the .ZIP files in the right directory and I have told Mame32 where it is and still no artwork. What am I missing?

If you are referring to the Snapshots for Mame, they should be out of the zip file and in .png format....(in the snap folder)

If you are talking about something else, please be more specific....

I am talking about the artwork files in your /Artwork directory (ZIP Format). These are used to display old bezel artwork and other overlay pics around your smaller MAME games (Like border artwork for 1943 and the like that don't fill out the whole screen).

I have all the files you can get off MAME.net but I can't get them to show up.

GameEx dosn't currently support artwork in zipped format. You will have to extract them. Get the command line version of zip called pkunzip, then run from the command line pkunzip *.*

I think TalkingBull is referring to MAME artwork not GameEx. IE to show a Bezel round a game that is playing. Correct?

I personally never tried that so don't know. Although I am guessing your'll get a good answer on one of the mameworld forums, don't confuse them there by talking about GameEx, its a MAME specific question

EDIT: You will probably need to add to the MAME cmd line in GameEx config. Look at the usage options in the MAME32 help file. When MAME32 is launched from GameEx, ie the command line, it does not use settings set in the MAME32 gui, it uses mame.ini
