Thanks. Yes I know they have their own file in MAME artwork. I just wish there is a way for games using MAME to boot the proper artwork bezel instead of command-line or hitting tab while in game and then selecting the correct bezel. This is the only reason I still use Rocket launcher with Launchbox. As of now MAME doesn't do this automatically. Maybe one day. Is there an easy fix in LB to make this happen? Also I use Bezel Project.

If the bezel default.lay files are consistent in how they're created (they most likely are), as illuded to earlier, you can use the -view parameter so you don't have to hit Tab while in game and then select the correct bezel.

odyssey2 -override_artwork odyssey2/%romfilename% -view bezel voice -cart2

There. Now it's automatically done.

And really, the beauty is you only need to add the parameters once.

 

If you really want to reduce what's in the command line, create an odyssey2.ini file and put it in MAME's /ini/ subfolder. Inside the file put:

artpath    artwork/odyssey2
view       bezel

 

Then your command line parameters can be:

odyssey2 -override_artwork %romfilename% voice -cart2

Not working for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Lets try another system like atari 2600. For it work I would type mame a2600 airlock -view airlock. What would I put in the LB parameters for all games in a2600 to use their correct bezels automatically?

Thanks again. Just frustrated. This is the only reason I keep Rocketlauncher around.
