    Huge Mame Marquee Collection including many in 4K resolution

    in Game Media

    Posted

    I think it's because Launchbox when scrapping the roms uses "tmht22pe" instead of "tmnt2":

    I changed this to "tmnt2" and now the marquee is shown in Big Box. 

    So... I imported the full MAME romset with "World" as a priority and that made most of the marquees match the rom names we have in the jpg files. However, there are a few exceptions like this one. I wonder how should I import the full romset to avoid this.

    Well, it worked now. I had to import the MAME merged romset in Launchbox with "World" region priority. If I use "North America" Big Box does not use the marquees with the generic rom name (probably sees "finalfightu" even when I have that folder inside the main "ffight.zip" file).

    Finally! Thank you so much for your help and time.

    Edit: Even when importing the romset with "World" priority, I see some games for which Big Box does not show the marquee. For instance, tmnt2. I will have to figure out why.

    Hello, it's me again :S

    I did a full install from scratch because I was getting frustrated and I still do not see the marquees in Big Box for some games. For instance, Final Fight. I have the "ffight.jpg" image in the "Arcade - Marquees" folder but Big Box does not show it. It does for other games with your naming convention, so I have no clue what may be going on. Some games show your marquees, others do not. Maybe there's something going on with Launchbox itself?

    Thank you. For marquee priority I only have "Arcade - Marquee", nothing else is selected.

    If I delete clear logos and the rest of images the app does not even go and look for "3wonders.jpg". I drop your marquee in the "Arcade - Marquees" folder, but I get no picture. "3wonders.jpg" is there but it seems the system does not associate it by the rom name, only something like "Three Wonders-01.png" works.

    Thank you for replying. Sorry about being a noob, but let me ask you: how should I import an arcade set into Launchbox now, if I want to have only these marquees and none of the scrapped stuff? I just removed my whole collection and imported it a couple of times but had no luck, Big Box still defaults to clear logo pictures for the games it does not recognize, as in my "Three Wonders" example.

    I downloaded this and the quality of the marquees is outstanding. I have an issue, though. When I deleted all my old marquees and copied these, Launchbox seems to recognize just a few games and then defaults to the clear logo picture for most games. I checked for instance "Three Wonders" and the picture that Launchbox creates when scrapping is not named after the rom file name (it's something like "Three Wonders-01.png"), it just doesn't see "3wonders.jpg" as the same game. Any tips on how to solve this or import my roms so these marquees are applied without much hassle?
