Hi guys,

Any recommendations for a cool theme that will display CP art in the layout?
Thanks,

Do you mean a Menu Display (system console screen) theme?

No, I'm talking about control panels from arcade games. It says on the how to post it is capable but I don't know any layouts that support it, and I don't know how to edit one to make it support it.

example: the concept is just
using like snaps, marquee, fanart, ext....


in your emulators-mame.cfg
add:

artwork    CP         $HOME/mame/CP


put all you CP artwork in your "$HOME/mame/CP" folder
and name each cp image to a rom name.


then call it in your theme

local cp = fe.add_image( "CP", 100, 100, 200, 100 );

Ah nice, it was the bottom bit of code that I was looking for. Thanks!
