Some Newbie SetUp Questions

[GoTheBunnies]

Hi all - new to this, so please bear with me.

Have been setting up GameEx for the first time, and apart from having some problems with some of the emulators (a problem for another day), I've at least got MAME up and running and I can play the games ok.

The issue I have is that when I scroll through the list of games, I don't see any of the snap files or videos, so there's nothing to indicate what the game looks like. When I click on a game, however, I can see the Marquee, Flyer, Cabinet etc (providing of course the file exists).

I think I've mapped everything ok, and there's no problems when I run the Verify process. So where in the config have I missed the option to display this?

I've also just realised that all of my video files are in 'Flash Video' format and not .avi - is that an issue? Is there anything I can do to make this format work in GameEx?

Thanks

Not sure about FLV (Flash video) support. If you have the paths mapped correctly in GameEx and Mame, try clicking on Change View to see if it displays your snaps in one of the views.

Problem solved - I downloaded some different codecs from Shark007, and all good now - thanks
