[RESOLVED] How do I get rid of MAME list background images?

[smario]

Hi there,

I want to get rid of background images showing in my MAME list (and only there).

- in all other emulator sections there is no background image showing (just the black background). That's the way I want it to be in the MAME list as well

- Background Mode on the setup wizard "display settings" page is set to "display black background"

- "Background snap path" entry on the "Mame settings" page is left empty

- I am using the Space Invaders theme, trying to toggle the DisplayBackgroundImage=False entry in theme.ini didn't help

I included my gameex.ini and a screenshot. Thank you very much for your assistance!

You will need to locate in the Menu Bar Change View and click on this several times until you see the view you want. Welcome to the forums!

Hello Draco,

thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Unfortunately, the hint with changing the view didn't help.

Isn't there a way to disable the pcb, control panel etc. pics from being used as a background image in the MAME list?

I added two additional pics to clarify things, one showing my Commodore 64 list with black backgrounds (same with all other emulator lists) and the other one showing the MAME list with the unwanted background images.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

smario

You will have to hit Change View quite a few times for it to change the background image to no image. Once or twice won't do it. This is definitely a change view issue.

Oh... you're right! Got it now.

(I probably didn't get it right the first time because after hitting Change View 5 or 6 times it seemed to me the same views started over again...)

Thanks for your patience :-)
