Hi!! I'm looking for documentation, sorry but i must ask, please if this question do not belongs here just delete it.

Is there a way of adding Artwork to Mame Emularity games?

thanks!!

Yes. The way we pull in MAME stuff in the .zip, you can actually add a artwork/ directory to the .zip and it will work.

please help that did not work.

  1. Inside the zip rom gnw_popeye with an artwork directory PUT INSIDE the artwork zip file with the same name of the game gnw_popeye
    DIDN'T WORK.

  2. so instead of using an artwork zip i dropped all the artwork files inside the artwork directory without gnw_popeye folder
    DIDN'T WORK.

  3. did the same like in step 2 but dropped all artwork files inside a gnw_popeye folder
    DIDN'T WORK.

i'm not compiling this changes just changing inside the rom/mount file inside the examples folder .

any clue? thanks.

I’m not an expert on MAME. You should consult the MAME documentation for details on how it looks for appropriate artwork. Also, you might have better luck if you first install MAME on your computer and get your rom and artwork to work correctly there, then try the same with Emularity. Once it works with MAME on your computer it should just be a simple matter of zipping up the necessary files and giving that zip file to Emularity. Good luck‌! :)

mmmm.... i have tried with arcade games and there is no way to make artwork to work,
put all in the artwork directory, nope, then in the rom zip with an artwork directory inside and nop.....

i will check the emularity version but i think there is other issue....
is there needed to add a path to artwork in the conf file?

var emulator = new Emulator(document.querySelector("#canvas"), null, new MAMELoader(MAMELoader.driver("1943"), MAMELoader.nativeResolution(224, 256), MAMELoader.scale(3), MAMELoader.emulatorJS("emulators/mess1943.js"), MAMELoader.mountFile("1943.zip", MAMELoader.fetchFile("Game File", "examples/1943.zip")))) emulator.start({ waitAfterDownloading: true });
