Title: Trouble with new layout in Mamewah 1.52
Post by: tshizzle.com on October 28, 2004, 07:49:46 pm

Cant get mamewah to actually show my background....

I create a new layout with the Mamewah Layout tool (Ive done it once before with no problems, so Im not a complete idiot).  In the tool the background image shows, I even made sure to set it in the layout and in the .lay file its pointing to the right image for sure (c:\mamewah\layouts\myarcade\myarcade.jpg)  Looks perfect in the tool, save , exit.

Start mamewah, everything is in the right place, menus, artwork, vids, etc.  Correct colors and fonts, but nothing but a blank black background.   Any idea what Im screwing up?  

Thanks

just to be sure open the layout file with notepad and make sure it's pointing to the right thing?

yea it definetly is, and it shows up no problem in the layout editor...

weird to me, is there anything specific about the background image that needs to be done?  File size, color-depth, etc?  Its just a 640x480 jpg...
