[RESOLVED] Oddness with Static Snaps

[MarkR]

Hello

I rebuilt MameUI and GameEx on my laptop to them port over to my arcade machine running windows 7, Everything on the laptop is perfect now, Snaps showing, titles etc etc. So wiped the arcade machine, reinstalled GameEx, copied over GameEx and MameUI with all the config files. For the 1st few minutes everything also looked perfect on arcade machine, but then I noticed some games don't display the snap pictures. I checked they are all there and I can view them in Mame. Do I need to run update mame games again in gameex please? 

Or why would this happen when they are identical? 

Cheers

Mark

I've never tried installing GameEx to a secondary machine via this method.  I would think it would welcome problems.

I would try updating again as a first step.

I didn't expect any issues as I have done this previously with other software. Everything is great except 50% of snaps. I guess it is only a link to the actual png file?

well again I am an utter fool... basically I took a punt and they aren't static... as I found once I decided to try the codec  all is good. Love this software thank you

Good deal, glad you got it working.

I nearly suggested that, until I recalled Tom had pointed you to the LAV's. (oops!, that was another members thread, still good all the same)

Thanks for reporting back
