Title: snap art
Post by: billblfd on September 18, 2008, 01:09:02 pm

looking for help the the images that mala uses show on main page.  I have just installed the newest mala and the program is working all except I cannot get the images to show on the main page.  It is taking the snap shot of the game and I am pointing the config to this but screen dose not show the image . I am not using the default skin.

Thanks

the snap needs to be in the snap folder and then in mala options point to this.
the snap has to be named the same as the rom ie: ghouls & ghosts neds to be gng.png or gng.jpg etc

Have not been able to mala snaps to work.  I have my dir setup like this

C:\Emulators
C:\Emulators\mala
C:\Emulators\Programs
C:\Emulators\Programs\mame


If i put the snap in the mala root dir it works but have not been able to point to the snap in the C:\Emulators\Programs\mame  dir.  wonder if the dir should be setup

C:\Emulators
C:\Emulators\mala
C:\Emulators\mala\programs
C:\Emulators\mala\Programs\mame


Thanks

What skin/layout are you using?

Some don't have snap an/or video windows.
