laggerific Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I recently installed an SSD for the boot drive in my arcade cabinet, and reinstalled Windows 7 onto it. After I installed Gameex and copied over the Gameex folder to ensure the configuration remained consistent I noticed an issue with the background. I'm running at 1920x1080, but the theme is 1680x1050. But for some reason, one of the images I had tweaked is no longer stretched. It's a 1680x1080 file, which I was happy to have it stretch to the resolution of the monitor. I thought maybe swapping the theme might knock it around a bit, and it seemed to fix the MAME genre selection screen, but any other console, and even the MAME submenus, are still not stretched, so the boxes are all off. Any thoughts what might be going wrong here?
laggerific Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Well, apparently one of the .png files must have been corrupted...I put the original image back in, and it worked, so then I grabbed a different copy of the problem image and copied it back in, and all looks good.
Tom Speirs Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Its because they were cached and as you moved the install GameEx still thought to use the cached images. What you did above basically forced it to recache as the file stamps or sizes were different. If it happens again you can safely delete all the bmp files in the data folder.
