Title: Videos, snaps, etc. with PC games.
Post by: JDavis on July 21, 2008, 10:48:27 am

Is there some trick to getting snapshots and preview movies and such to work for PC games in Mala? I've tried setting them up the same way as I've got the snaps and videos for my other emulators set up, but they simply won't display.

Nobody knows?  :-\

Does it not work at all, or hasn't been properly implemented or something?

I have never had a problem with getting snaps and videos to work with pc games.  Do the names of the games and the snaps match perfectly?  You're probably going to have to post screenshots of your Mala configuration screens for the PC games to receive help with this.

... Okay, I figured it out, and it's because they didn't work the same as the other videos and snaps I've set up.

The only other videos and snaps I've gotten around to setting up are those for MAME and Daphne, where the snap/video's name is the same as the rom file.

I was naming the snaps/videos for the PC games the same as the shortcut/executable, which is apparently wrong, as it needs to be the same as what the game is named in Mala's list.
