[slipstream19]

a bit OT. but.

i just found out about bezel and you can have it on all your games.

did alot of searches for an bezel of a certain game but there exists none it seems.

well then i looked up how to make these files and it seems like an very complicated story.

does anyone know how to make these cool bezel files on their own?

Well the xml in the LAY file doesn't seem all that complex.

<!-- bezel.lay -->

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

	<view name="Bezel Artwork">
		<screen index="0">
			<bounds left="140" top="0" right="500" bottom="480" />
		</screen>
		<bezel element="bezel">
			<bounds left="0" top="0" right="640" bottom="480" />
		</bezel>
	</view>
</mamelayout>


<!--

- Lay file by Mr. Do

Nor does the PNG graphic file...I think what you looked at was the OLD way of doing them...which was a pain in the ass.

I'd suggest PM'ing Mr. Do if you can't find a tutorial on his site.

If any thing just refer to the files found in "C:\Program Files\GameEx\MEDIA\BEZELV2"
