MAME screenshots show up all black?
« on: May 29, 2015, 11:22:23 am »
Hi everyone. I am a newb when it comes to using Maximus Arcade. I recently learned about the screen cap feature, and have been using that to get title screens for my various roms. With NES games (using Nestopia), it works perfectly. However, with MAME, all my screen caps show up as black images. Anyone know the reason for this? I am using Windows 8.1, if it matters.

check MA configuration and make sure you are pointing towards the folder with the images. also they need to be in .png. I just did a massive screen/video update to my arcade.
