Snap Image not displaying

[weez]

I have a problem with my snap images not displaying. Out of 216 games only 15 will display a snap image while scrolling through my list of MAME games. This is apparent also after I select the game as well. After I select the game these same 15 games will display an image while scrolling though "Play This Game" as well. All games show the images for Marquee, Cabinet...etc. But the Snap images do not show up while both scrolling through the games and while selecting play this game.

I do have snaps for all games in the .png format. They are all in the same location C:/emulators/mame/snap.

Any thoughts??

Alright - I found the log. I then went to Advanced Configuration Application and then went to Basic Mame Settings and removed the Video Snap Path. I do have .avi files for all of my games, but they were never showing up. I don't really care to see the videos of the games but I do want to see the Snaps. Thanks for the Log file comment. That helped a lot.

Cheers

Your Welcome. You sussed it - GameEx was trying to play the avis. Since they wernt playing you saw nothing. You can probably get them to work if you install Vista Codec Pack or FFDSHOW.

I'm new to gamex and I have the same problem ... none of my snaps are showing up, no artwork or marquees either (only thing that does show up are the icons in the game list and some avis that i have). All of my paths seem to be correct. What am i doing wrong?

The first step is almost always to post a log file. Without that, not much can be done other than make blanket suggestions.

Look at the log file. This is how I found out what was wrong. It's easy from there.
