How to add various bezels to MAME

[method]

Hey guys. New guy in the whole MAME world. Just started last week and there are many quesrions I have lol. This one should be easy:

I've downloaded a couple of mame artwork sets and am wondering how to save them all in the artwork folder ofe and switch then around jn thr display options of mame once I'm playing thaf game. 

Is it possible or can I only replace artwork? 

Thanks a bunch!

If you are using MAME emulator, just place the Artwork zip files into your Artwork folder for the MAME Emulator.

To select options if more than 1 bezel inside zip, just press the tab button on keyboard and select from there.

Oh I think I wasnt clear enough. What I mean is:

I have two different zip files with different artworks for, the same games. I know now that the zip file must go in the artwork folder with the name of the game, but I can't place 2 zip files with the exact same name. That is where I'm stuck. Is there a way to say, combine both zip files so I have acess to those different sets of atwork from that tab menu?

 

And yes, I'm in MAME.

Try taking the pngs from one zip file and adding them to the other.

Looking at my artwork, the ones that have multiple bezels in, only have 1 default.lay file in each.

Not sure how yours are set out, but give it a try

nope. Didnt work. Played around with the .lay file but I guess I dont know code that well.

Try to unpack one of the same named zip files to a folder with the folder name the same as the zip file. If i'm not mistaken it should work then.

Hi @method

Can you post the contents  of one of your lay files as well as the filenames of the two bezels you are associating with it?

this is a dead thread, but it's at the top of google searches and needs to be answered now.
