[solved] Game preview images

englischdude

Hi All,

can anyone confirm if the mame4all image preview function is working? I have copied a load of .png files into the snaps folder with the same name as the rom file, but I am still not getting the preview images to show on the game selection ui.

Thanks

They go in a folder called image

there is no folder called IMAGE, or at least please give me the exact location of this elusive folder. under /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all/... there is no IMAGE folder.

you have to make a folder called images (sorry not image) in the main mame directory (the same place as your roms folder, etc.
To be 100% sure though, go to the the web configuration page (enter the ip address of your Raspberry PI into a web browser)
Then go to 'Database Admin' and then 'local roms'
If you scroll along there, you will find a heading that says Image File. This will tell you the directory and file name PIPlay is looking for for each individual rom file you have
