Hi,
I just got ArcadeOS setup with ADVMAME (fragle 376 disk) and I've been taking snapshots of various games. I've set the arcadeos menu's up to show the snapshot when you have highlighted the game from the arcadeos menu. In about 1 in 5 times it shows the snapshot as the background. the other 4/5 of the time it is not. Has anyone seen this or know how it is fixed?

Thanks
David

arcadeos only displays images in 256 colors or less. So get a utility such as irfanview and use the batch conversion to reduce your color images to 256. You will find this under the advanced settings in the irfanview batch menu.
