About This File
This is for MAME and is not compatible with RetroArch.
It assumes that you are emulating the ColecoVision No-Intro games with MAME via LaunchBox, with the "Remove file extension and folder path" and "Remove Quotes" settings disabled as required.
It displays per-game bezels, and is for use only with the "bezelprojectSA-ColecoVision" bezels.
Note that it's not suitable for the "bezelproject-ColecoVision" bezels, due to some filename differences between the themed and SA bezels.
The bezel images themselves are not included - they're available from the bezelproject.
How to use:
Download the coleco_SA_nointro.zip and unzip it. Inside is the artwork file coleco.zip which contains a multi-view lay file matched to the ColecoVision No-Intro game names.
Move coleco.zip to a location within your MAME artwork folder that your mame.ini artpath is aware of. If you already have a coleco.zip there, then first either delete it or move it to a safe location outside of MAME.
Drop the 180 game bezels as well as the generic (Colecovision.png) bezel that come with the "bezelprojectSA-ColecoVision" pack into your new coleco.zip
Only the png images are needed, the corresponding cfg files are not.
Any game that passes a view parameter which fails to match (full or partial) with a view name in the lay will use the system's generic bezel.
LaunchBox 13.15 users:
Set your MAME Associated Platforms Default Command-Line Parameters for your ColecoVision platform as
coleco -view "%romfilename%" -cart
Note that the %romfilename% variable requires double quotes, as the game names and the lay's view names contain spaces.
LaunchBox 13.14 or earlier users:
%romfilename% is not supported.
Per-game custom parameters using the game name in the view parameter can be used; two examples
coleco -view "galaxian (usa)" -cart
coleco -view "mouse trap (usa, europe)" -cart
Tested using MAME 0.267 with LaunchBox 13.15 and 13.14.
