Create Snaps and Database Support

[insane]

I installed 5.81 last night and went through the GUI config to set the appropriate game database for each applicable emulator. I now no longer see the Create Snaps menu item for those emulators linked to databases. I didn't see a database for Playstation games so I left the databse field blank. I do see Create Snaps under Playstation. Is this a known issue or could it be tied to the theme I'm using?

hi,

It's actually deliberatly coded that way. The reason being so that there is a lot more screen real estate to show snaps and artwork when using a database. So it's actually by design rather than an issue. To be honest the Create Snaps option is only needed for computer games and less popular consoles that don't have databases anyway. Most snaps have already been done by folks to a high quality and you can just download them. Theres even videos for a lot of systems now too.

See my links and extras page for links to these files.
