This is driving me crazy. I am using FBL ver 1.3u. How exaclty can I get the emu to see screenshots? I have them named the same as the rom (from previous editions) but for the life of me it just will not load/show any of them at all. Was the screenshot folder moved to another location in the emulator?

Likewise is this normal: the video previews show fine (when I do not have them disabled). However each time I go over a new game (scrolling) with a video, the background music from the emulator keeps cutting out until I stop scolling. Is this normal?

I am sure the answers to both of these might be right in front of my face, but I am not seeing them. Any help is much appreciated

With my setup I have the screenshots artwork (png's) placed in the "artwork" - "Shots 1" folder.
This works for me.
For the BG music, it does stop when the video in question is playing, as the sound from that
overides the BGM. nes6502 didn't put an option in that would allow the BGM to keep playing.

thanks for the reply Neil222,

I tried the art folder tonight,  but they still did not show,however in looking again from the info you supplied, this led me to try something else I should have done to begin with:  I opened and changed the path.ini file from 0 to 1 and then restarted. The screenshots in the art folder load up fine now

I suppose I will post this next question in the fbl thread,  as I was wondering if it is possible to disable the dual screen preview? I see a lot of adjustments but no disable option

Either way thanks again for the info

Haven't checked for a disabling dual screens option mate,
but when I did my Blue Fire Arcade Cab skin, to get rid of the dual boxes
showing up on-screen I moved them off the side of the screen with the adjust
position option. That way they will never display on-screen anymore.

Hey Neil222,
Hmm I did think about that but would rather just wipe it out if possible.

In my setup the dual screen serves no purpose. I do understand if I had pics of the arcade machines themselves or something along those lines instead of a screenshot of gameplay, then yes I can see the use for the dual preview boxes

I might try something with the ini (making a backup first) and just remove all dual screen measurements. Perhaps by doing this it might not display at all. Well see, if not, moving it off the screen it will be


***UPDATE: deleting the dual info entries from the ini does not work and actually corrupts the gui. So I will just move it off the screen for now

Yeah,
This is the only way.
I also replied on the other thread.
I move a lot of things to outside the screen boundaries all the time.

I was working a little bit on FBL, added the xmv audio disable feature, and added support for transparent screenshots. Before I put anything out there I want to do a couple of things (tv calibration coordinates, and a dual preview disable feature.) You can also remove the screenshot path or the video path from the ini and it will work the same.

A little off topic, but I am also planning on doing some work on nes6502's other emus.
Zsnexbox has the audio disable feature fixed in ini and the view zip contents fixed in ini. I just want to fix some GUI slowdowns with videos.
Nestopiax has transparent screenshots fixed and I just want to add tv calibration coordinates.

Sadly I am working out of state and I dont have access to my xbox to do any work on it.

They will get done eventually though.

Sounds good!
