Title: Star Wars Theme/Layout Not Displaying Foreground Ships!
Post by: gameroommedic on July 06, 2021, 01:23:10 PM

Hi All! I DO see the PNG files within the theme (Star Wars Legends) folder but they do not display. The video background is there, but no "floating" X-Wing, TIE or battle cruiser foreground ships are visible.

Also the wheel art PNG I'm not seeing either, as well as the category images.

I'm using a 4:3 environment.

Help!

1. Make sure you copied the included modules folder to your attract root folder
2. Please post your emulator.cfg file for this display

In general, the Great themes Collection is recommended for wide screen displays

I am referring to the standalone Star Wars theme layout you created. I'm not using the Great Themes Collection v10.3 (however it certainly DOES rock).

The modules folder IS definitely present.

I'm using both mame64 and supermodel3 emulators and have created a config file for each. Games work perfectly.

Here is mame64

I don't remember what version of the Sta wars theme is in the standalone. Maybe try the one in the Great Themes Collection?

Sorry for the delay... I wanted to report the theme now works properly. I did NOT have the modules installed! Man oh man.

Works beautifully. LEARNING!

Thank you again.
