  1. You mean something like these?
  2. Really sorry for the mix-up in those Lay files. Just FYI, the app only supports normal 1 screen horizontal & vertical configurations now. I am working on enhancing logic to handle the 2, 3, and 4 screen games and outputting the appropriate Lay files.
  3. A new version is up on Github, 1.1.12.1. I rolled back the lay file changes I had made. Hopefully this gets things back on track. Thanks for reporting this.
  4. Thanks for alerting me to the issue. I'll do a diff on my code and see where things went awry with the lay files.

    Exit Mame

    What version of MAME? Have you tried turning off the Pause menu just to see if the issue remains?
  6. Not sure what the problem may be. I can install to my MAME 0.165 version here and display bezels from the bezel pack with no issues. Here is Space Invaders running under 0.165. Standard debugging procedure for bezels is to start with a fresh MAME directory and make one change at a time until you identify the issue. What I would do is start with a fresh install of 0.165 and start there. I would then copy over only a handful of roms and the artwork directory from the original bezel project install to the new directory structure. Test running those roms and see what happens.
  7. For what it is worth, the following utility has been a life saver in my multi-front end, multi-emulator Retro environments. As DOS76 said, symbolic links and/or junctions can solve all kinds of things. https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html
  8. They are called Video Themes. The one for Mad Dog 2 can be found on EmuMovies ftp @ /Official/Video Themes (HD)/American Laser Games (Video Themes-HyperSpin)(4x3)(HD)(CriticalCid 1.0)
  9. Some MAME rom names change over time, so it is possible the names used in our MAME bezel pack don't actually match the rom set you are using. Have you manually checked a few rom names with the files/directories the installer put in your artwork directory?
  10. Added MS-DOS and NEC PC Engine-CD.
  11. The -su is for 'Unregister'. I would open a cmd window in the directory that contains files2folder.exe and try it, then run the exe by itself and see if it fixes everything.
  12. If you moved the original .exe from the zip you downloaded, that probably caused things to be out of sync when you right-click. What happens when you run the Files2Folder.exe program from its current location? It is supposed to create a shortcut that allows you to unregister the right-click service. If it does, execute that shortcut, then run the .exe again. That should get things back in sync.
  13. The installer will make a backup of the artwork under the MAME install directory. If you have run the installer more than once for MAME, and the backup directory exists, it will prompt to overwrite.
  14. The easiest way to find out which directory name a Retroarch core is expecting under ...\retroarch\config is to start Retroarch with a game for the core in question. Press F1 to return to the gui, then make a change under core settings that you can recognize in the filesystem. Save a custom core configuration and/or a core override. Exit Retroarch and look for the new cfg file under config. See what directory that file resides in and compare it to the directory containing the bezel project files. If they are the same, the issue is with your rom names. If different, rename the directory under config to match what the core is using and see if the bezels now show up when running your games.
  15. The bezel packs the project creates is first and foremost for Retroarch on a Raspberry Pi. My Windows app adapts those files for different platforms like Native MAME. I don't see the project supporting native MAME features like lamp images in the near future, but down the line, who knows? So never say never.
  16. If you have the bios rom for the RCA, studio2.zip, and the correct Software List roms, current MAME should be able to run the roms. Most roms start with corrupted graphics, so hit F3 to clear the screen, then Q to start the game. Loopy has issues here on my MAME setup with corrupted graphics, no sound.
  17. Fully qualified is only required if the roms are on a different drive than MAME itself, otherwise relative paths are fine.
  18. This will do it as a shell extension. https://www.dcmembers.com/skwire/download/files-2-folder/
  19. The Windows app tries to edit any existing core cfg files under ...\retroarch\config to do exactly what you asked. If for some reason that isn't working, you can manually use the Retroarch gui to set this. Start Retroarch with a game running for the console you want to affect. Hit F1 to return to the gui, then make sure you are in "Quick Settings", scroll down to "Onscreen Overlay" and select it, scroll down to "Overlay Preset" and select it. You can then navigate to the overlays directory under the Retroarch installation directory. You should have cfg files there you can select to set a default bezel.
  20. I use WinSize2 to handle automatic resizing and placement of windows, pop-ups, etc. It works great for the 'Manage Emulators', and other LB windows. http://winsize2.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
  21. Each directory requestor that pops up when you are selecting a directory displays what you should select. Example for Retroarch below. You should always select the install/parent directory unless directed otherwise.
