Hi All,

Just wondering what program are people using to view photos of their cabinet building process through MameWAH?

Im thinking about writing my own program to do it,

Anyone?

Well while waiting for replies, I have created a small app that displays photos in a dir as specified by the user, it can display them full screen at the resolution specified. (math included to stop image stretching)

Not personally...

You could maybe launch a batch file as an external application, and have the batch file run some commandline image viewer.

You could not use the "snap" to display photo in MameWah ?

Just a guess i don' t MameWah , but if you create a layout displaying a Snap in full screen.  And point a "snap" folder to your photo directory and may be add the photo list as gamelist?

In Atomic you can do that in that way.  Just create a layout which display only a "Marquee List" in fullscreen. Set the number of item displayed for the MArquee List to 1 .   Then make point the "marquee folder" to your photo directory , and make point the ROM folder to your photo directory too. 
Set the ROM extension to "JPG" (for instance) and Snap extension to "JPG" too.  then you should be able to brownse your photo in fullscreen on your cab.

May be Minwah , using the same kind of trick it could be possible on MameWah?

Youki, you're absolutely correct, I hadn't thought of doing it like that :)

Yes just point to the image path as both 'rom_path' and 'artwork_image_1_path' and set rom_extension to 'jpg'.

You may also want to make a new layout which maximises the size of the image.
