Colby - I need to resize image on the snes-disk.png

Colby,

Can you tell me how to resize the snes image that gets put on the snes-disk.png when you go to play a game? right now the image gets put on about 66% of the black label, and i would like it to fill (cover) the black label. I couldn't figure this one out. i dont know xml =/

Thanks!

you dont have to know xml, have you looked at the skin editor? Hit f2 and select the image on the snes overlay. Then just stretch it. It is pretty simple.

prob a typo there colby...

f2 is for the setup menu.. hit the pause/break button for the skin editor.

Lets see if we are on the same page here. I already changed the aspect ratio for the game box pics so they would be larger on the main SNES page, but when I hit Pause/Break after opening the 'game play popup', you dont have access to the editor. I will look some more just from the regular SNES screen, but I didnt see a place to change the image size for that part alone.

It sounds like you are tryin to edit an overlay. You cannot open the skin editor when an overlay is up.

You have to go into the skin editor on another screen, then click the goto tab at the top and then choose the screen or overlay you want to edit... Then you should be good to go.

cool, thx. i will do that.

i was able to drag the text (catagory>snes>cover) but when I closed it, and went back and forth a couple times and the image went back to normal size. Although, even dragging it causes the box to go large and the image still keeps the ratio. Tried messing with aspect ratio, not sure if this is the same.

basically i am just looking for a way to "fill" the text (catagory>snes>cover) box with the image. And it's nice to know ways to do it straight in the xml file.

thx for the help
