Need Help with Vectrex overlays in MAME ,180
#361809 - 12/26/16 08:23 PM Attachment: vectrex.lay.txt 10 KB (5 downloads)


The original issue I was having with the Vectrex overlays is the Minestorm overlay was pulling up for every game.

To try and fix this, I looked at the .png files, and yes, they were not named correctly so I renamed the files, then I went into the lay file where the names were not correct either, so I fixed this.

The problem wasn't fixed. The other thing I saw was that in the lay file, minestorm was the 1st on the list, so I cut and pasted it back down to its alphabetical order place on the list. now, no overlays show up.

I have attached the lay file for someone to take a look to see where I went backwards on this so I can get it fixed.

thanks in advance!

There is no "automatic" way for the overlays. You can choose the right overlay by pressing TAB, then selecting the video-menue and pick the overlay you want for that game.

PS: you need to revert all your changes you did previously.
