Space Invaders with Backdrop and Bezel in Mame

[sirbeers]

To get this to work the way I wanted I used invaders.png from Mr. Do's arcade. You can find it in the "Old Artwork" section of that site.

Put it into your artwork-->invaders folder. Bezel.png should already be there if you downloaded the bezels through LaunchBox.

Edit default.lay to look like this:

<!-- invaders.lay -->

<mamelayout version="2">
	<element name="bezel">
    		<image file="bezel.png" />
  	</element>
	<element name="backdrop_m">

	</element>
	<element name="overlay_m">
