Title: Snapshots for Mame
Post by: southpaw13 on February 16, 2005, 01:22:04 am: Hello, I have been downloading my snapshots from crashtest for years. Now he is taking a break. Where is the next best place to get snapshots?

Thanks,
Southpaw

Thanks,

Go to www.mamechannel.it They have Crashtest snaps up to .91.
Download all the zip files. As noted elswhere on the forum, the directories in this Euro version of the collection are very different from the standard MAME directories. To deal with it, I just unpacked all the zips with the odd paths intact, then did a search (in the directory I unpacked them) for all folders named 'snap'. There are several hundred of them Working in the search results window, I dragged large groups of the snap directories into a temp directory in another window. This allows all the different snap directories to be merged into one. Then just take the new snap directory and overwrite your MAME/snap dir. with it.

Thanks everyone,
Southpaw
