[RESOLVED] Filename for snapshots and titles?

[larson92]

What filename does GameEx look for when searching for the title and snapshot files?

The reason I ask is this:

I have several games setup from a "Other Emulated Games" emulator, with the actual gamestart.exe files located in various folders but with links to all of them located in the designated ROM folder for that "emulator". The links have more readable names than the gamestart.exe files have (e.g. "Pole Position" vs. "polepos.exe").

I then name my title and snapshot pictures as [readable game name].png. (For example, both the title and the snapshot would be called "Pole Position.png" in their respective folders.

The problem that I have is that it GameEx is not finding my title and snapshot pictures--or rather, for some games it finds the file and then for others it doesn't.

Can anyone provide some insight?

Thanks!

Artwork, videos, manuals, etc., must be named the same as the ROMs to display in GameEx when the game is selected. You also must configure the emulator to point to the correct path where each is stored.

Hi Larson!!!

I recomend you to use fat match renamer to do the hard work with a few cliks.

I normally use this program to match roms with artwork and works great.

It's very easy to use. Try it and you will see the good results.

Our own Tempest has an excellent utilitiy called Perfect Match which I think you will find superior for matching your media to your ROM names.

He makes fat match too, and skinny match I think.

I also discovered that GameEx does not look for title pictures unless it first finds a snapshot picture for the game in question---which is why they weren't showing up originally.

Thanks for the help!
