What would be the proper file name to make this happen or is this not an option? rodimusprimal MAME Fan Reged: 02/11/12 Posts: 26 Send PM Re: Custom photos [Re: rodimusprimal] #330038 - 08/17/14 04:16 AM Reply Do I have this in the wrong forum? What I mean is, some games do not have an image for the marquee, or control panel, or cabinet. So MAMEUI (and I'd assume any other frontend), will show the default image for MAMEUI. I know that if you place an image for Neogeo, every Neogeo game that does not have its own dedicated image will display that one. What I'd like to do is place a generic cabinet in the cabinets folder so that every game that does not have a cabinet image will display that generic cabinet. Same for marquees, control panels, etc. Bad A Billy Oop Ack!

I imagine it would have to be re-coded to look for a file (such as default.png or generic.png) in each folder instead. Shouldn't be a big deal but since no one is really responsible(afaik officially)for MAMEUI upkeep, one of the guys who keeps MAMEUI limping along would have to step up to do it. I apologize if I'm off base on this but maybe it'll get you a more solid answer... Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse! Optimist: Yes, it can!

At the moment there's no way to implement a custom one without changing it in MAMEUI source code and re-compile it by yourself..... Pages: 1
