Title: Screenshots not updating in MAME(using MameWah)
Post by: TelcoLou on October 03, 2008, 02:05:37 pm

Well, they will update (using the default F12 key) if there is no screenshot for that particular game, but what I'm trying to do is "overwrite" certain screenshots. Pressing F12 does nothing in such cases. Aside from manually removing a specific game's screen shot, any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)

Look up -snapname in docs/config.txt that comes with mame.  You'll want "%g" or "%g/%g" (depending what you have set now), I think.

Thanks, but I could not find any mention of "-snapmame" in any of the .txt fies within the "docs" folder .. in fact, there is no "config.txt" file there.  ???

You probably are using an older version of mame then.  (What version number?)

If that's so, sorry, can't do much.  You could press F12, and then exit mame and look at the snapshots, renaming the one you want to the gamename.

It's ok  ;D version 0.110 ... I can go the manual way, no biggy. Thanks so much for the reply :)
