[RESOLVED] Game Snaps not displaying

[whatisk]

Hi all,

I have Gameex setup and running well (latest version) with many emulators, however, I am having trouble getting snaps for one particular emulator to show (PS1). It seems to be to do with the way the snaps (gotten from Emumovies) and roms (from elsewhere) are named.

The ROMS are named for example 'game1 (usa).bin', 'game2 (usa).bin', etc

The snaps are labelled 'game1 [ntsc-u] [slus-01234].png', 'game2 [ntsc-u] [slus-03456].png', etc

The only way I can get them to show is if I have the snap named exactly the same as the game. So 'game1 (usa).bin' and 'game1 (usa).png'. 

I tried removing both lots of text in square brackets from one file (to 'game1.png') as a test with no luck. I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve me needing to go through and rename 1300 image files.

Other things I have tried:

• Toggling 'snap best match' - currently set to yes.
• Trying different combinations of enabling/disabling the database and 'use database name' options.

Hoping someone may be able to assist. If I need to attach anything else that would help let me know.

Cheers all.

Switch 'snap best match' to No/False

Then reboot  your OS/GameEx.

 

Also, your media must match your roms. Using your example: if you have 'game1 (usa).bin' then indeed, your media must match. Such as:

game1 (usa).png

game1 (usa).jpg

game1 (usa).svg

etc.

 

Usually this isn't a laborious process, but i think you may have gotten your media mixed up somehow. Try to match them from the source for example.

 

EDIT - this also might be a .bin .cue problem, but i'll let the good folks that run those systems elaborate on that

Thanks for the reply.

Perhaps I've misinterpreted what the 'snap best match' option does.

The media isn't mixed up as such. Emumovies only has 1 file for PS1 snaps. I think the snaps in there follow the naming conversion of a different group/set to teh roms I have. Trurip, Redump, etc.

I will use a batch renamer to rename the files then go from there.
