I didn't even see them and they're right there in front of my face.What was the smarta** comment?I thought I was being a smarta** by just pointing out the obvious: preview artwork = artwork preview. It's ok nobody ever gets my jokes. Guess I'll just climb back under my rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emphatic Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 So, how are these shown exactly? Are the in fact overlays that are positioned nicely over the .mng/.png for game previews, or what? Anyway, props to Tom as usual.Emph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, props to Tom as usual.EmphYeah whats the deal with these? They look pretty cool. Do you just use them like regular snapshots or what? They look like regular png files to me. They won't show up in GameEx already?Jay TBTW, yes I'm being lazy and haven't tried them myself yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one2three Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Here's a quote from MAME32xt site:"What they are and how you can see them: These arts are images collection like the classic snapshots, with the difference that you can see the correspondent artwork applied to the game. For seeing them in a new mame32 tab, download the already modified emulator you can find in this page."To be honest, I haven't tried them yet (guess I was waiting for Tom to get GameEx support -- THANKS TOM!) My understanding is that they are essentially a "screen snapshot" with artwork included. They are meant to be used just like the snaps, titles, pcbs, cps, etc.Hope that helps.

mak77 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 i still have problems when exiting from games... i use flat menus, when i exit from an emulator instead of going back to the game list the interface shows the start page, but gamepad cannot move on that, i have to click back AGAIN and then i can move the selection, but i have to go back to game list and search again...

Tom said he added support for these things but GameEx already supported showing PNGs as snapshots, so I'm wandering what I'm missing here. What exactly needed support? Hope I'm making sense, and not sounding stupid here.Jay T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I haven't looked at the config program for this version yet, but I would imagine there's some new lines in there. Where there were fields for the locations of snaps, and cabs, and cp's, there is now also fields for pcb's and artwork previews. As I said, I haven't looked yet, so this is just an assumption... If I'm wrong, this would probably be the ideal way to do it Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 So, what exactly are .mod files? Or are we already discussing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 .mod files are a request I put forward to Tom...basically they are an extension given by digital camera's for mpeg2 video's.Not exactly sure why they don't use the proper extension...unless its to gauge someone for a video editor that actually realizes .mod files for what they are.

Tom Speirs Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Its simply just another snap shot on the screen thatt shows the game description, recommended games etc. Same as for Title, Panel, Marquee etc.Nothing that amazing Im afraid.
