I don't know what the problem is, (if it's in fact me or not) but the "F-12" key for screen shots does not work on m35b13!! I played a dozen games to test it out, and it will not record a screen shot at all. I need some feedback on this and in the meantime, I'm sticking to a different beta or mame34 final.

PS Broke my own world record on the Atari's arcade ver. of Tetris Saturday night at Grand Prix. 1 coin NO CONTINUES and played for 52 minutes!. Reached level 93, 1,409 lines, and a score or 1,648,905!! I'm saving the 2M game for next years New Hampshire tournement.

The answer lies in the snap directory.
<p>

The latest Mame Beta now uses PNG instead of PCX format for its
screen images and places them into the new mamesnap directory.

If you haven't extracted a standard mame zipfile and retained the
subdirectories then you will need to create a mamesnap directory
for yourself.

Ha - well in beta 13 the screen shots are saved to a different directory. I'm hundreds of miles from my PC, but I think I remember it was called 'shots'? They're saved in some whacky new format, too, but I forget what it was. All I know is that paintshop pro can read the format...
<p>

Maybe MAME's readme.txt would mention the change, but then again maybe it doesn't...

<p>

Was that helpful? I can't tell from here...

Why are my shots ahead of others on the board? I can only guess it's because it's *my* board )
