MAME Atari 5200 Software List Artwork File for use with the "bezelprojectSA-Atari5200" / "bezelproject-Atari5200" bezel packs

This is for MAME and is not compatible with RetroArch.

It assumes that you are emulating MAME's a5200 software list via LaunchBox, with the "Remove file extension and folder path" and "Remove Quotes" settings enabled as required.
It displays per-game bezels, and is for use with either the "bezelprojectSA-Atari5200" or the "bezelproject-Atari5200" bezels. The bezel images themselves are not included - they're available from the bezelproject.

How to use:
Download the a5200_swl.zip and unzip it. Inside is the artwork file a5200.zip which contains a multi-view lay file matched to MAME 0.267 a5200.xml software name entries (for entries that have a bezelproject bezel).

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.

If you intend to use the system artwork (SA) bezels then drop the 101 game bezels as well as the generic (Atari-5200.png) bezel that come with the "bezelprojectSA-Atari5200" pack into your new a5200.zip

If you prefer to use the themed artwork bezels instead then 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%

LaunchBox 13.14 or earlier users:
%romfilename% is not supported, so use
a5200 -view %romfile% %romfile%

Meow!
