Frame and Resolution

[SeattleDavid]

Hello LaunchBox community! I purchased the license and diving in. What I am noticing which seems to be a trend are the boarder/bezels which would typically show the instructions are being cut off. Attached photos. Is there an easy resolution fix for this or do I need to specify resolutions in the Mame command line? This is on a Asus Tuf Gaming 31.5" monitor in 2560x1440 resolution. 

Thank you!

In LaunchBox, go to Tools > Manage > Emulators. Select MAME and press Edit. In the window that appears is a text box labeled command line, in it remove the "-artwork_crop" (without quotes) bit and then press OK to save.

I understood what you wanted. Remove the command line argument and reap the rewards. What that command is saying is "hey cut the artwork if you need to in order to make the gameplay area bigger". Without it MAME uses the lay file of the overlay which will show all the artwork but will also make your gameplay area smaller.
