Hey everyone, I am finally finishing up all my hard work on my artwork, and spent the last hour putting it together for mamewah. I went through the TXT tutorial created by the owner of cpviewer, and everything is up and running but the artwork. I know I have to be missing a setting somewhere, but at least it's bringing up the right emulator Let me know what INI's and files to post if anyone wants to help. I am using the "custom" folder approach with 1024x768 main. I looked inside the ini's to see if it was a folder location error, but nothing caught my eye. |

Thanks for the reply Minwah, I went ahead and changed that option but it still has not fixed the issue. I can't think of what it could be at this point. I have double checked all my lines in the ini's, but i still just get a gray background. The format shows up and the default mamewah boxes on the artwork images are found as well. I'll keep looking but at this point I'm just guessing away. :) It wouldn't be that I'm using PNG files is it? If this helps, I used mamewah config to check my artwork, and it doesn't preview my artwork. The gray is the color that's default under my layout, but this isn't seen in layout designer (as the image is fully viewable). (no idea) ??? |
