I Love your themes and setting it all up is a breeze once you get the hang of things.
Im having trouble setting up the Nintendo 64 theme as it wont play the MP4's. All i get is statics. I can say i know how to set it up as I have set up MAME, Super Nintendo, NEO GEO, SEGA 32X.

Hi Carl, thanks for the kind words.
The Nintendo 64 layout code uses the same code for playing the snap videos as all my other layouts, including those you listed.
The ini file you posted looks ok. Just for comparison, mine is set this way:
artwork boxart $PROGDIR/menu-art/Nintendo64/boxart
artwork cartart $PROGDIR/menu-art/Nintendo64/cartart
artwork snap $PROGDIR/menu-art/Nintendo64/snap
artwork wheel $PROGDIR/menu-art/Nintendo64/wheel
But it shouldn't make a difference.
I want two things to check:
1. Make sure that the in the Nintendo 64 romlist file, the emulator field has the same name as the emulator. For example, if the emulator is called 'Nintendo 64', it should be the same in its romlist:
007 - GoldenEye (USA);007: GoldenEye (USA);Nintendo 64;;1997;Nintendo;Shooter;;;;;0;;;;;;;;;
2. Make sure that the Nintendo 64 snap videos are in a format that AM can play. Try copying one of these videos to the SNES snap folder and rename it after one of the games you have. Then go into AM, the SNES theme and navigate to that game. If it plays then the format is ok.
I encountered both of these problems myself in various situations.
3. Can you upload me the Nintendo 64 layout file you are using? This way I can verify what version and debug with the exact version you have.
Cheers
