Re: Why can't 'hide romless machines from available list' work in MAMEUI?
10/14/20 05:49 PM


The real issue I have is with hard coded stuff like say, a gear position overlay which you just can't get rid of any more, and completely ruins the ability to take proper screenshots as it's drawn over the game's graphics and changes the colour depth of the snapshot, also some overlays seem to change the resolution of the game so I can't get a nice 1:1 pixel snap.

I used to be able to do these things just fine, but now all the disable bezel/artwork/overlay etc options no longer exist. I get that there have been a lot of core changes, but to completely do away with such features entirely? I just can't understand. Having to compile my own MAME just to take clean screenshots is just absurd.

I like the idea of keeping artwork and related stuff out of the core file too... Didnt MAME used to try to avoid bloating the executable?

Thanks for the reply, I'd love my first question addressed, but no dev has ever responded to my requests for or even an explanation for the lack of a "hide bios files from available" filter in 4+ years... and the only info I could find on the romless machines feature was "it can't work in mameui".
