Re: How do you disable shifter display in screenshots (racing games)?

The easiest way I've found to remove the embedded artwork from snapshots is to take them out of the layouts folder from the source, compile, & then stick them back in to the artwork folder when done.

Another way, which is much more labor intensive, is to edit the artwork you want to embed in MAME itself. You have to make the 1st view(order does matter, MAME takes the 1st view as default I assume) something like:

{view name="Normal - No Shifter"}
{screen index="0"}
{bounds x="0" y="0" width="640" height="480" /}
{/screen}
{/view}

MAME will then display that view at start & for whatever screenshots you take afterwards. If you select a shifter or buttons or whatever, they will show on-screen but not in any the snaps. Basically making it do the opposite of what it is now doing for the artwork.

That should work until it gets fixed(?) & works like you would think it should. I just keep checking to see if I have to keep doing it with every release when I do my snaps...

Hope that helps...


Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!
