MAME Atari 5200 No-Intro Artwork File for use with the "bezelproject-Atari5200" bezel pack

This is for MAME and is not compatible with RetroArch.

It assumes that you are emulating the Atari 5200 No-Intro games with MAME via LaunchBox, with the "Remove file extension and folder path" and "Remove Quotes" settings disabled as required.
It displays per-game bezels, and is only for use with the "bezelproject-Atari5200" bezels.
Note that it's not suitable for the "bezelprojectSA-Atari5200" bezels, due to some filename differences between the themed and SA bezels.
The bezel images themselves are not included - they're available from the bezelproject.

How to use:
Download the a5200_TA_nointro.zip and unzip it. Inside is the artwork file a5200.zip which contains a multi-view lay file matched to the Atari 5200 No-Intro game names.

Move a5200.zip to a location within your MAME artwork folder that your mame.ini artpath is aware of. If you already have an a5200.zip there, then first either delete it or move it to a safe location outside of MAME.

Drop the 101 game bezels as well as the generic (Atari-5200.png) bezel that come with the "bezelproject-Atari5200" pack into your new a5200.zip

Only the png images are needed, the corresponding cfg files are not.

Any game that passes a view parameter which fails to match (full or partial) with a view name in the lay will use the system's generic bezel.

LaunchBox 13.15 users:
Set your MAME Associated Platforms Default Command-Line Parameters for your Atari 5200 platform as
a5200 -view "%romfilename%" -cart

Note that the %romfilename% variable requires double quotes, as the game names and the lay's view names contain spaces.

LaunchBox 13.14 or earlier users:
%romfilename% is not supported.
Per-game custom parameters using the game name in the view parameter can be used; two examples
a5200 -view "galaxian (usa)" -cart
a5200 -view "tempest (usa) (atariage)" -cart

Tested using MAME 0.267 with LaunchBox 13.15 and 13.14.

Meow!
