avi in Front End
« on: January 30, 2010, 10:19:58 pm »
Where do I put my avi files so that front end plays the avi instead on screen shots?

 as long as the right dir's are set and the names are right it should over lay them as well with video being the top layer

right so just go under each emulator and tell it where to find your videos OR you can just have a folder in the same folder where you have your emulator and label it videos (or was it video? or vids... hmm) and when you add the emulator it adds the videos folder automatically, same thing for snaps.

I used a program called "fuzzy renamer" to match all the file names of my videos and images to the roms. Then just pointed Maximus arcade to look in each folder and both show up. Images load first on mine as they show up immediately unlike videos.
