Are there any MAME category videos (MAME select menu) outthere?

[u-man]

At default GameEx randomly picks videos from existing videosnaps that fits into the MAME categories like Lightgun, Multiplayer, Trackball etc. 

I am curious if any category videos exists 😁

Any help appreciated 🙂

If you are talking about background videos for the MAME categories to display at the main menu, then no. If that is a correct assumption and what you would like to see, submit an Enhancement request!

Does GameEx and AE display videos for categories within the MAME submenus level or main menu?

Category/sub menu if i recall.

Hello guys 🙂,

Tom is right, I am looking for Category/Submenu. If it is possible to have videosnaps for the sub-categories, then how would I need to name them, so that GameEx can identify them?

Keep in mind, that I already use all Logo-media provided for the sub-categories. I want to use the „image“ field that GameEx uses to show the random videosnaps. This way I could create my own videos for subcategories, assuming I know the naming for the videos.

Just for clarity, would you mind attaching screen caps of what/where on the screen to what you are referring. Your additional description has me a little confuzzled. Thanks!

Hi Draco 🙂,

I am currently not on my setup, but you can watch the 2nd video from my last post:

Just imagine that instead of the game names in the list on the left side, the MAME subcategories would be there. Every subcategory has a own logo-file that would appear in the marquee of the arcade cab. And for every subcategory, GameEx picks randomly a videosnap that fits into this category and is shown as the gamescreen on the arcade cab.

The question is now, if we can create a videosnap for these subcategories. For example if lightgun is selected, showing a video containing only lightgun games.

Now we are not only changing the random videosnap we are also changing what is displayed in the marquee?

Sorry but my elevator isn't opening on the top floor of this description.  No disrespect intended and maybe it's just me.

I am sorry for the bad description. The only reason why I mentioned the logos and marquee is because someone could mention those to solve the problem, but I want to know if we have control over the (in my example the game screen of the arcade cab) image field that GameEx uses to show a random videosnap of the selected MAME genre.
