Pictures in MAME

(1/4) > >>

Ed ONeill:
Ok I was thinking since I live within 5 mile of the worlds second largest arcade which btw has the most classic games

I was thinking of adding the pictures to mame however how would I convert a jpeg to a PNG file?

Also I just noticed that I have some of the cab pictures however  I can't get them to display any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Ed

SirPoonga:
What do you mean adding pictures to mame?

patrickl:
I assume he wants the cab pictures to be shown when the game is selected.

I'm not sure if this is always the case but for Mame32 they should go in the C:\Mame\Cabinets folder, but maybe you can configure this somewhere as well. You can also have pictures of the flyers, marquees (in folders named like that).

RayB:
Download GIMP or Paint Shop pro.
Load the Jpeg.
Save as PNG.

pointdablame:
I'm not really sure what you mean either. You can't really load pictures into MAME.

I'm assuming you mean you want to load them into your front end, such as Mame32 or MameWah.  To do that, take the pictures, convert them like RayB said, then put them into the cabinet folder in your MAME directory.  Then set up MAME32 as was stated or for MameWah you need to point an artwork field to the cabinet folder.  It will then show up on your layout assuming there is a spot in the layout for the pictures.
