breite07 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 HI Everyone, Been struggling for weeks with this - should have reached out sooner but I'm about to concede defeat. Issues is I can't get any artwork (bezels) to display in MAME (ever). Here is what I have: 1. MAME works fine for all ROMS so I believe everything is configured properly. 2. Let's use dkong.zip rom for example (all other roms behave the same way): dkong.zip is in /roms folder (game rom) - check dkong.zip is in /artwork folder (the actual artwork files) -check dkong.zip is in /cfg folder (config file) - check 3. Bezels and other artwork is enabled in the MAME program - see image. Check. 4. Bezels and other artwork are enable in the actual game - see image. Check. 5. End result - no bezels/artwork at all (as shown in the game image above). I don't know what else to check or try... Any and all help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

neil9000 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Move your mame.ini from the inis folder into the root folder and check again. It works just fine for me, but when loading from command line MAMEUI doesnt read the .ini file unless its in the root folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breite07 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hello, i had already moved the mame.ini file into the root directory to fix an issue I was having with my trackball not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then are you sure your bezel files are correct? As i showed in my image above mine work just fine with MAMEUI64 0.202. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Also its worth checking that Launchbox is actually launching dkong.zip, it could be loading a different version that you dont have a bezel zip for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breite07 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’m actually launching from Mame itself. Haven’t brought mame into Launchbox yet - wanted to resolve this issue first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Try my zip and see if it works. dkong.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breite07 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Will do when I get back this evening. if it doesn’t work, I’ll reinstall a clean version of mame and try again. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breite07 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Neil9000 - Your bezels worked fine. I think the ones I downloaded were for RocketLauncher (or to be used with RocketLauncher). I like many of the bezels in your pack - where did you get them from? I just downloaded the following bezel packs from EMU Movies but they don't look as good. Standard Bezel Pack (works) and Unified Bezel Pack (doesn't work - again I think these have to be used with RocketLauncher). Many of the bezels (even yours) cover the game such as in the high score area of the screen? Is there a way to shrink the game screen to fit within the bezel? Thanks!

Yeah if they are for RocketLauncher then they wont work with MAME. The bezels i have are on the emumovies ftp if you have access to that, i think the same ones are also posted in letter packs here on our forums. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/12-platform-bezelsoverlays/ As for sizes of the game screen, that can be adjusted inside the actual zip files, its not something i have ever done though and you would have to do it for every zip. Most have several views though, just use one that doesnt have the fake monitor bezel on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
