Changing Bezels

[bwunk]

Is it possible to change the bezel art that is displayed for a single game?  

Example: Golden tee'99 has a nice theme bezel with control tips on it, but golden tee 2006 does not so it shows the default "arcade" bezel.  Can I edit the metadata for Golden Tee 2006 to show the same bezel as '99?

Easiest way (only way?) is to make a copy of the bezel folder for Golden tee '99 (which will be "gt99" [same name as the games ROM file]) and rename it (the copy) to match the name of the [other] ROM you want to also use it for.  If it's Golden Tee Fore! 2006 Complete, the ROM name is "gtfore06".  So the copied folder will be renamed to "gtfore06".

For stand-alone MAME, the bezel folders are located in the artwork subfolder of your MAME emulator.  Example:   ../Emulators/MAME/artwork/gt99/
