Re: Clean Sweep (RamTek, 74) Font?

>DICE can emulate overlays? I had no idea.

Only simple shaped, single color components whether it be color acetate sheets or strips of color tape (ie what Breakout uses). These are hard coded into the source code/driver file for DICE. Within the source code for Clean Sweep, there is code that has the color as a shade of blue/green.

MAME used to do similar thing for many years until MAMEdev Aaron G. had changed artwork support to be treated as external layout files. Reason Aaron chose to have MAME handle artwork support in that manner is because since the artwork is external, (ie: outside of the emulation of components on pcb(s)) it made sense to separate the artwork support from the various driver files.




To better explain my old post...I had thought that the only piece consisted of the bezel piece by itself. I had also assumed that the center part where it is seated over the monitor when bezel is mounted was a shade of blue. It is actually clear/translucent and on backside of the Clean Sweep bezel is a taped, blue shade acetate sheet that fits over the monitor when bezel is mounted onto a Clean Sweep cab.

Clean Sweep bezel does have a blue acetate overlay piece that is taped to the back inside of the bezel piece. It is not taped to the monitor like other games.

My mistake because I had thought maybe the middle part of the bezel piece was blue. It is clear translucent
