I would like to fill out some of the (E) games I have loaded with screenshots, but the emulator I use, FCE, takes caps of 01.png, 02.png, etc. I noticed that VBA takes a screen cap as the same name of the ROM, which is quite nice. I thought I'd ask if anyone knew of a NES one that did the same, before I have to go downloading and installing every one I can find. Thanks!

You could easily enough write a script in BAT or AHK format that (assuming you use Mamewah) runs when you exit your game and looks for 0.png and renames it to %1%.png (and moves it to your snap folder or whatever). I did this with FCEU myself as I just documented in a different thread.
example rename.bat:
------------
rename 0.png %1.png
move %1.png c:\consoles\nes\snap\%1.png
del 0.png
exit
I think that should do it. If 0.png does not exist it will exit without a problem if I recall... Of course you need the beta version of Mamewah I think to have an app run on exit.

I don't know if this will work for you (I stick to games with (U) in them... :-\ )
Someone sent me (or I downloaded) a program called 'Snap Renamer'. If you have the mis-named pics available, and they're relatively close to the name of the rom, you can use this program to rename them for you. Search around, I know it's free.
Either that, or Buzz' idea woud work great too.
Heh.. use them both!

Ok, between here and the mamewha forums I'm now officially confused. Post the program or a link, PLEASE :). I need that program exatly.
If it's Artwork Renamer 1.0, nevermind. I managed to find that...its just...well...taking forever. :)
Ok, bottle of wine, wife asleep on the couch, only goes so far before you have to crash as well. :)
