scooby Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm trying to get the background video themes running on my Arcade edition but am having no luck finding them. I know they are supposed to be on Emumovies but I haven't been able to figure out which file it is that has all of them. Can someone be so kind as to tell me which file(s) I need and exactly where they are on Emumovies. Grateful for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tthurman Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I agree 125% with Draco, but if you've got more time than money the free "daily quota" will get you there eventually. It just doesn't get any easier than this! Based on when what package was available when you purchased GameEx you may even qualify for a discount at emumovies. Don't forget to add your account details (paid or free) to the artwork download section of setup wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks Draco. Just one thing, when I follow the link to the file /Official/Video Themes (HD)/MAME (Video Themes - Unified)(4x3)(HD)(CriticalCid 1.2) it doesn't exist. I only see Hyperspin files. Any suggestions?

Draco1962 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Are you looking via FTP or the Emumovies site? Also, I would add a +1 to @tthurman's suggestion for a membership there. Then you can leverage FTP access and manually download your heart's desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I had already taken out a membership and was looking at the FTP site for the pathway you had posted. It appears that they have changed the files and only show ftp://[email protected]/Official/Video Themes (HD)/MAME (Video Themes-HyperSpin)(4x3)(HD)(CriticalCid 1.4) which I assume is the correct one to download. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Looks like it yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apothecon Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I am trying to get this going as well, once downloaded where do you place the files and do I point something to that folder in Gameex setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 You guys are making this harder than it has to be, complete the automatic artwork download section I linked in my above post. Launch GameEx or GameEx Arcade Edition (works the same for both) and leave it running. Go eat dinner or something, in a little while it will have downloaded everything available at emumovies based on the rom set you've pointed to. The only caveat here is if you don't have an emumovies account. In this case your daily downloads are limited, so you'll have to keep logging in for consecutive days to achieve the same result.

Apothecon Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 OK, then do I need to enable them to play somewhere? My background is always just has the name of the game scrolling across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not with the auto download but you do need a paid emumovies account for video themes. If you want to download them from the emumovies FTP just set the video themes path in the setup wizard. Its really not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
