Mr. RetroLust's - Mame 4K - Lights Out - Realistic Bezels

I'm using your mame bezel pack, but I have this problem that every game is zoomed in. So when I start a game I have to go to screen options and turn off "zoom to screen area" to get the full bezel experience.

Now I did try to look in to the mame.ini file but I see no option to turn this off globaly? Do you have any Idea where I can set this up?

Ah yes that setting should be named crop artwork or something simular, not behind pc atm to check.

Artwork crop is already at 0 in mame.ini. If I look for example the cfg for 1942 mame saves after and I turned 'zoom to screen area' off it looks like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mameconfig version="10">
<system name="1942">
<video>
<target index="0" zoom="0" />
</video>
<counters>
<coins index="0" number="8" />
</counters>
</system>
</mameconfig>

But nowhere in the mame.ini I can find anything related to zoom.

Here is my mame.ini btw

Artwork crop is already at 0 in mame.ini. If I look for example the cfg for 1942 mame saves after and I turned 'zoom to screen area' off it looks like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mameconfig version="10">
<system name="1942">
<video>
<target index="0" zoom="0" />
</video>
<counters>
<coins index="0" number="8" />
</counters>

But nowhere in the mame.ini I can find anything related to zoom.

Here is my mame.ini btw

Did you by chance used orionsangels bezels before? They had to be manually resized to the artwork, if thats the case you should delete the nvrams as they store those screen settings.

No, I even just tried a fresh install of mame and same thing I have to go to the screen options and set zoom to off.

Did you let Launchbox download and install MAME? If you did it added some commands to the command line section in manage emulators, one of those is a art zoom option, remove that command.
