Title: MAME Hooker displays question
Post by: 2huwman on January 04, 2025, 04:11:40 am

I've got MAME Hooker working well to send artwork to my secondary monitor. I'm using the marq_flyer_cab template, which I've modified slightly to fit the layout of my monitor better. My question is: if a game doesn't have a cabinet picture, for example, can mame hooker then look in a different folder (e.g. snap) and use that instead? That would be ideal as I like to see the cabinet pictures if available, but if it's not, I would prefer the snap to a blank space.

Thanks to Howard for making this great piece of software.

Not sure if it can. But you can try to copy a snap into the cab folder if one is missing.

Thanks - that's what I ended up doing and it works well.

Sorry I've been away in the wilderness.  ;)  There isn't an easy way to do it, so the road you have chosen is probably best.
