Bezels in MAME for software list games
#398638 - 06/10/24 09:55 PM


So this has been bothering me for quite sometime and decided to ask here. So I am using bezels and they work for MAME arcade games. But say I launch Atari 2600 games or another console, computer, etc it goes to the default bezel. I would have to hit tab while in game and then choose video options and scroll down to the game for that bezel. How can I get it to launch the correct bezel for that game. I understand if no bezel it should use the default bezel.

Thanks

You mean like... if you are playing Atari 2600, and there are specific bezels for specific cartridges, then if you load a particular cartridge, it loads that bezel?

Today... there isn't an automatic version (unless Vas has updated something that I missed?).

You can add a -view parameter to the commandline, to add the artwork view you want when you load a certain cartridge.

So for example, if there was specific artwork for Pitfall, with the View Name of pitfall, then you would add "-view pitfall" to the end of your normal command to run the game.




RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

Thanks Mr. Do. It works. So my question is if you or anyone else could answer. Is there a way to create a ini for say a2600 and what would be placed in there to have the games boot with the correct artwork instead of the default?

Thanks
