Adding missing screenshots

Recommended Posts

A bunch of my games are missing screenshots. I can get them from whatever emulator but how do I get them into LB ? 

Mame for example will save the Alpine Ski one in a folder called Apline Ski and the filename will be 0000

I tried renaming this to Arcade\Screenshot - Gameplay (to conform to the existing filename pattern in the Arcade\Screenshot - Gameplay folder but still I dont see the screenshot :(

So you are renaming the folder that Mame creates after it takes a screenshot?

Launchbox is pointed to a folder of that name located inside the main LaunchBox folder structure. Also the image file name needs to be named after the game as it shows in Launchbox or like the rom is named.

\LaunchBox\Images\Arcade\Screenshot - Gameplay
