getting the images I see in MAME to be used in the Launchbox game grid (or shouldn't I)?

[gbonawitz]

Hi.  I'm setting things up for the first time.

Starting with MAME itself I've managed to get to the point where I downloaded 0.244 and some ROMs and corresponding TITLE.zip and snap.zip files.  Based upon that I can get the games running in MAME, and when browsing the list in the kludgy mame interface I see images on the right side of the screen (presumable from either the title or snap files (?)).

 

Moving to Launchbox 13, when I did the import I unchecked having LB download images since I assumed that they'd be in the title.zip or snap.zip files.  What happens now is I can launch LB and run the games... but when browsing the games the ~ game grid only shows basic squares with the name of the games in generic font (i.e no artwork whatsoever).  When I single click any one game and get the details on the right I DO see images there --> maybe from my having done Tools | Image PAcks | Import, and pointed the ~ wizard to Mame's title and snap subdirectories?

 

So at this point I still don't have the artwork showing when looking at the games list (and I do have it set to "Images View" and not "List View".  I have learned about using Tools | Manage | Platforms to get to where I can edit default directories for things like Box Front, Box Back, etc.... but want to see what's the [best] next step to get the graphics showing in the main game grid.

 

1) By default, which images does LB normally use to populate the grid - "Box Front" or some other media type?

2) If I have snap and title files, is that supposed to [normally] have whatever artwork is used for #1?

3) At this point should I just reimport the ROMs and leave the ~ "have LB download art" checked?  If so then what's the point of/different from the title and snap images that I already downloaded?

 

Thanks so much in advance!
