Layout help.

[bulla]

Could some kind soul check the layoutlay file pasted in below and tell me if they spot anything untoward ? Basically its a copy of the B&W Snes layout from the CPViewer site. When I opened it in the layout designer it wasnt showing the main.jpg file so I pointed the Designer to the main.jpg and everything looked fine. I then saved it and copied it over to my Cabinet.

Upon installing from zip in Mamewah config the new layout appeared but had no name and no preview pic but I selected it anyway. Upon loading mamewah I get no main.jp displayed and just a game list in a new font. Any ideas ? I've tried changing the link to main.jp in the layout.lay to the full path but no change.

Any help much appreciated.

Here's the layout.lay

hmm... well I am not sure what is going on with your layout, but a quick note... when you open a layout in the Mamewah Layout Designer, by default it does not show the background, even if it has been configured. That's ok, it doesn't need to, as long as there is a 'main.jpg' file in the same folder as the layout file you should be fine.

Ah ok, thanks, maybe I'll just try and create my own and see hopw I go then.

Thanks

The path lines in the lay file can be empty. I try to keep them all empty so it doesn't find a bad path when moving them from machine to machine. In order to find the images the images simply need to have the proper name and be in the proper folder.
