Title: Help with Marquee Magician and GameEx
Post by: gamepimp on December 21, 2011, 02:05:25 pm

Hi all. I purchased a second monitor to use as a digital marquee on my cab and I'm trying to get Marquee Magician configured to display MAME marquees when I've got a game loaded. Does anyone have alot of experience with this program that might be able to assist me with the configuration? Basically, I can get a static image to display on the second monitor while I'm within GameEx, but when I fire up a game, I can't seem to get the marquee for the actual game to display. Instead, it only displays my backup image (meant for those instances where there is no marquee image available). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx!

Corey

I have never used this particular software, but usually the picture/movie files has to be named exactly as the ROM files, else it will not show.
Could be something for you to verify.
Else there might be some folder configuration that needs correct path or names etc.
I’m sure there is some kind of manual to read that explains this.
