Greetings all.  I'm currently using Gameroom, NES, and SNES layouts by Sardu in the latest version of Mala and Mame.

All three are working flawlessly as far as game listing and launching are concerned.  Gameroom shows all snaps, CPs, and marquees as well. However, I'm not having any success with my NES/SNES snaps/box art/carts showing.  I've got the same settings as in gameroom (except for the directories are different), but nothing is showing for artwork. 

Strangely, one box and snap of Jurassic Park on the SNES works.  I've looked at those files to see what might be special about them, compared to others, but don't see anything out of the ordinary.  I'm stumped. 

Anyone have this type of issue?

PS. The layouts are awesome in concept and execution...fantastic work Sardu!

Are you sure your NES/SNES snaps have EXACTLY the same names as your NES/SNES roms (except of course for the 3 letter extension)?  I am guessing your Jurassic Park one matches exactly.

as SGT sais, it sounds like a naming issue, search for fuzzyrenamer and use it to rename your snaps

Thank you both for your replies.  I did some testing earlier trying to do just that, rename to match my roms, but didn't seem to have any luck.  I will go back and try again (it was after 1 am when I was testing) and post my results.  Thanks for the tip on fuzzyrenamer...i'll look for it.

Update:

The NES/SNES artwork is now showing! The naming was the issue.  Fuzzy Renamer found most of the names to be wrong, rewrote, images appeared!  Check.

Thanks DB46 and SGT for your help.  Problem solved.

 :cheers:
