How do I display Cabinets & Fliers again?

[JohnnyG]

HI all,

Really dumb question, I know, but Ican't work out how to add display Cabinets and display Fliers when you look at the info for a game.

I have them still in .zips, in the folders, but I must be doing something stupid.

Used to work, but I don't know what I clicked to knock them off: of course, now I want them back!

Appreciate any help (as always)

Not a dumb question at all (unless I'm dumb too). I had the same problem, I just unzipped everything (except roms) and now they display.

Anyone know of an alternative, or is the appropriate way?

GameEx doesn't extract artwork from zips. You need to have them unzipped, and each image must match in filename (minus the extension) to the rom/game it is associated with.

Thanks One2Three and Han, that was it exactly.

I had two Mame folders, deleted the one where I had the fliers/marquees/cabs unzipped.

Unzipped em again, and presto!

Cheers,

Johnny

(BTW, how can I edit the topic to say that the problem has been solved?)

I dunno, I don't think you can... Try doing a full edit on your first post and see if theres and option. Other than that, who knows?
