MAMEUI official website: Icons folder missing

[mame-licious]

Hi

On the official MAMEUI website, the Icons folder is missing in the 7zip. Could you please add this folder because it took me forever to find out why I don't have icons while I didn't expect the folder to be missing and I never checked it for that reason 😆

Here they are from progettosnaps website

Icons.zip

We only supply the absolute minimum, things that can't be obtained elsewhere. Icons, snaps and other non-essential things have to be sourced by the user, from wherever they can be found.

I can understand this for MAME Resources but these icons are part of MAMEUI because they indicate the working status after doing an audit.

I personally think it's strange files this tiny and required to see the audit result are not included

I just saw on progettosnaps they are not included there too (I have them from many years ago).

So where can the MAMEUI icons (just for the audit of the games), as of this writing, be downloaded?

I remember to download them from the old MameUI place from John IV some years ago but yes, there is no place now for getting them unless you keep a copy in your drive from that time.

exactly. That's what I wanted to show Robert! He's making it for new MAMEUI users very not-user friendly. Just run the program without the icons and do an audit... Also if a new user finds out the icons are needed, he doesn't even know what the file names are so he can't make the icons himself (unless you go search the source code of MAMEUI).

And the funny thing is: there are 3 roms sets included in the 7zip but the icons are not.

I hope Robert can add them so it's easy for everybody. According to me, they really are a part of MAMEUI because otherwise the audit feature is unusable.

I didn't know about the roms so I've modified my packaging script to not include them in future.

But MAMEUI has default icons inbuilt, they mostly look like IC chips of different colours depending on the status, and a red X for not working sets. So I have no idea what you're on about.

I also have no idea what you are talking about since the IC chip icons don't have any color depending on the status...

Screenshot below to indicate the IC chip icons without colors vs. the icons that used to ship with MAMEUI which show the colors.

If you don't have the Icons folder, you will never see any green icons (see 18 holes pro golf and 1941)

I also opened a new thread for a bug in MAMEUI: the status of 18 holes pro golf is orange and not green in vanilla MAME, so MAMEUI tells another status (which is impossible since I compare the same MAME versions).

I have no idea what your setup is. I get green chips and yellow chips. As far as I'm concerned, it works.

I tested on macOS using Wine and the screenshots I posted are from Windows 10. So MAMEUI is not behaving the same here. On both setups they are grey here.

I only get yellow chips, all green ones are grey.

I use your official binary so what can I do?

Also the roms are present in the ARCADE package.

I finally found what's going on: for some reason parents have grey chips and clones have green chips (if the status is working).

Can you confirm this is the intended behavior?

I opened a request to change this behavior slightly.
