[RESOLVED] custom art for mame

[simbamame]

is it possible to have custom art paths for MAME? ive looked in GameEx and it doesnt appear to be able to do it for mame, other emulators have the custom art path towards the end of the emulator settings but not mame?..or is it possible to edit the names of the paths that GameEx shows for mame?

Thanks in advance. SM.

You are correct! For MAME there is no custom art paths. What more would you need? GameEx covers most if not all the known art available for MAME.

As for editing the names that GameEx shows, have a look in the Text/Language section. The names can be changed to whatever you desire. Just make sure to change the Text/Language setting to - Custom - to apply.

Thanks fRequEnCy, i know most are covered but i managed to obtain a "score" set and wanted to add them as a seperate show, maybe have to alter PCB to Score instead.

Thanks again.

UPDATE : yep that did the trick, can alter them to my own titles now. cheers !

No problem! Can always put in a feature request for more slots as well. Glad that did the trick. Enjoy!

The only other option that nobody mentioned is running MAME as a separate emulator (the same as you would setup for an N64 or other emu) instead of through the GameEx Basic MAME and Advanced MAME settings.

Also an option as well but one I wouldn't recommend it as one would lose out on a lot of features.
