Title: MameWah Layout question
Post by: DrLarryE on May 14, 2017, 06:06:43 pm

I can't figure out how to specify to MameWah what I want in the "Artwork Image #2".  I kept the MameWah instruction page, but for the layout directions it sends me to a page that is no longer there.  If anyone knows where I could get that page I could answer my own questions. 

Thanks

Following images can be used:

art1.gif
art2.gif
layout.lay
logo.gif
main.png
message.png
options.png

so simply rename your desired picture as art2.gif or art2.png

Apparently I need to be walked through it.  In the layout, Artwork image #1 shows a snapshot of the highlighted game.  I want Artwork image #2 to show the control panel of the highlighted game.  I know how to change Artwork image #1 to control panel or anything else, but I can't figure out how to set up Artwork image #2

This option is not configured in MAMEWAH layout editor but straight in MAMEWAH.

Just look for file config\mame\mame.ini and edit following line artwork_image_paths                       [emuexepath]\snap

to artwork_image_paths                       [emuexepath]\snap;[emuexepath]\cpanel

or any other desired path
