commercials

[mesk]

so i tried adding a path to some 2600 commercials,and not only didnt they not work,but all the other video snaps stopped playing,and I had to go back and set each emu's path to the snaps to make them play again...so anyone else having commercial problems?also,where will they play when they are working?

[Tom Speirs]

Are you talking about the new tv commercials feature? Did you set the correct path? The TV ad path? Its not the snap path.

[mesk]

yes,i went to my atari 2600 config,set the tv path to the folder where i have some 2600 commericals in avi format,and when i saved and exited out,no snaps would play at all and I had to reconfigure all the video snaps paths for each emu and mame

[Tom Speirs]

Did you use the setup wizard or advanced config tool?

I cant see anything wrong. Can you duplicate the issue?

[mesk]

I setup everything by going to configuration while in gameex,where it starts with basic mame settings,display settings,audio settings etc...i just tried again and this I tried again with 2600 and all my setup emu'sstop playing video snaps,it didnt effect mame this time.

[Tom Speirs]

Well, I cant see anything wrong relating to TV ads. I would try rebooting and using the configuration util outside of GameEx.

[mesk]

im going to try that now Tom,when they play do they take the place of the video snaps?

[Tom Speirs]

Actually there is an issue with the way the config app closes gameex. I suggest using the util outside of GameEx for the moment.

[Tom Speirs]

No, you will see an item on the game info page for the game.

do the commercials need to be named anything particular?

EDIT:it seems I have answered my own question we are now firing on all cylinders
