Bezel Issues - MAME ignoring info file
Hi guys, new retrobat user here. I really appreciate the work that went into this.
I am stuck and looking for some help with MAME bezels. No matter how I adjust the screen size and x/y positions in the mame.info file, they are ignored.
Here is what I know from troubleshooting:
Here is the example same .png and .info file being used, just renamed for mame and one for dreamcast. Dreamcast is reading the x/y position and screen size from .info file, but MAME is not (images resized to 50% for viewability):
Dreamcast: (reading dreamcast.info file correctly and displaying the screen smaller)
Mame: (ignoring mame.info file screen size settings and showing full size)
Here is the .info file used in both example photos above:
{
"width":1920,
"height":1080,
"top":101,
"left":461,
"bottom":128,
"right":458,
"opacity":1.0000000,
"messagex":0.200000,
"messagey":0.200000
}
Is there a setting somewhere that needs adjusted so that MAME will respect the .info file's x/y and screen position?
Additional bezel related question.
I was making the assumption that if a specific game bezel exists, it should it override the system bezel. Is this correct? I tried the following:
Example:
NFL Blitz 2001 (dreamcast)
Rom:
RetroBat\roms\dreamcast\NFL Blitz 2001\NFL Blitz 2001 (USA).gdi
Bezel:
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\games\dreamcast\NFL Blitz 2001.png
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\games\dreamcast\NFL Blitz 2001.info
When the game loads, it just loads the system bezel from:
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\systems\dreamcast.png
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\systems\dreamcast.info
I also tried to match the GDI file name:
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\games\dreamcast\NFL Blitz 2001 (USA).png
RetroBat\system\decorations\default_unglazed\games\dreamcast\NFL Blitz 2001 (USA).info
Any insight on these issues would be great. Thanks in advance!
I just noticed the "screen saver" mode is showing MAME game previews and the screen size and position are correct (reading the mame.info file correctly) but it is still full size when I launch the actual game...
I am stuck and looking for some help with MAME bezels. No matter how I adjust the screen size and x/y positions in the mame.info file, they are ignored.
Here is what I know from troubleshooting:
- If I adjust the transparency of the bezel in mame.info, the transparency changes correctly (confirming I am editing the correct file)
- If I change the bezel design (mame.png file), I see the new updated png bezel when launching a mame game (confirming I am editing the correct file)
- If I adjust the x/y positions, it has no impact (screen loads in the center of screen full size)
- If I take the my updated mame.info file and rename it to dreamcast.info and launch a dreamcast game, it works exactly as expected. (screen is smaller, x/y positions are being read)

Re: Bezel Issues - MAME ignoring info file
I moved my roms from the mame directory to the arcade directory. I renamed the mame.info and mame.png files to arcade.info and arcade.png files and things are now working as expected.
Not sure what was overriding the mame.info file.

Re: Bezel Issues - MAME ignoring info file
For the Bezels, this is the directory that worked for me (using a TI-99/4A and using MAME)
C:\RetroBat\saves\mame\artwork
put here genhorizontal.zip
and horizont.ini in C:\Retrobat\bios\mame\ini
horizont.ini:
#
# CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS
#
fallback_artwork genhorizontal
# Uncomment next line to use this for all games
override_artwork genhorizont
These posts helped:
