Mamewah layout Res??
Midnight Tboy:
with the dentist? no - they did a root canal :(
heh,
yeah I did a quick test with the main mame layout from the cpviewer website.
resized the main pic to 640x288 and copied it over to the arcade pc.
now when it ran obviously the boxes where the names were written were in the wrong place.....so I loaded them up in mamewah's layout tool.
one problem though, the layout tool is setup to work at a higher res - so I had to increase resolution for the desktop in order to use it properly.
once that was done, it was as simple as just dragging the boxes and resizing them to a new size, done in the same way as you draw boxes in photoshop etc etc..so easy as anything.
When you resize the image in photoshop btw, aswell as in the layout tool don't worry about it looking daft and stretched....your TV/monitor, will show it back in its usual 4:3 and it looks great
cheers,

One quick question, how do u open a JPEG image in the mamewah layout program it only alows *.lay files??
Midnight Tboy:
errr well I didn't load it in myself.
because I had the filenames the same it auto loaded the background jpg for me.
ie.
mame.lay
mame-main.jpg
picked it up auto
however I did notice, that in a folder with umpteen layouts it loaded the wrong jpg...so if needs be, copy the layout and pics to a temp folder while you play about

I dont uderstand how u managed to change the layout of your new resized background image in mamewah layout tool. As u open the image in photoshop resize the image have to save it as a Jpeg etc, and then u cant load the image in mamewah layout tool, as it doesnt accept jpeg files?? So how did you do it?
Midnight Tboy:
the mamewah layout tool itself doesn't (as far as I know) allow you to open jpgs that you choose - however it will auto load one of them.
so use that auto loaded one as your background for your guide line to draw your bounding boxes around, then have a look at it inside mamewah to see the final difference
