      Fantastic job!!! It works great!! I only have issues with the Pengo specific instructions. It doesn't work for me (full offset). I don't know if it's because I have a 5" screen.

      Do you think you can do Raise The Devil (Pinball), Black Knight Pinball and Rocket Pinball?

              @Folly said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone:

              Are you at least willing to combine the lr-mess bezels into the mame artwork files and place them on the google-drive ?
              Others will enjoy that for sure, including me ;-)
              This is the first one :
              https://ufile.io/ph2miz4n
              (be sure you don't overwrite existing files if they are already there)

              @Folly @JimmyFromTheBay
              Today I did Astro Command. Can you test it if you have time? see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vjjROtpyMZbIaiVqDeVruaIWuU71qYYt/view?usp=sharing

              Put it in
              /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/artwork

              If it works well with your screen, I'll continue with the others.
              Thanks

                Looking good with 16:9 resolution.
                With a 4:3 resolution I have black borders on top and bottom.

                  For 4:3, the black borders are normal if it's outside the Bezel . The original picture size is 1000x562.
                  For 4:3, is It fit inside the bezel with the videogame output? That's the important thing for now.

                    Game is within the bezel, so looking good.
                    indeed, 4:3 is acceptable, if there is no other solution.

                    Can you change the name of the bezel in the mame artwork file into :
                    Bezel-16:9.png
                    Then a bezel for lr-mess can be created.

                    Edit :
                    A second good look let me see that the number is just outside the game area, can you make it a bit wider ?

                    I have made some pictures.

                    4:3 :
                    astrocmd-4x3-800x600_resized.png

                    19:6 :
                    astrocmd-19x6-1600x900_resized.png

                      Good point, i'll use transparent option to avoid this. I'll do it today.
                      Thanks

                        It will be Bezel-16-9.png because we cannot use special characters like / or : . Is it good or do you prefer something else?

                          Hi @DTEAM, do you mind if I use some of these bezels in the backend for my scraper?

                          Thanks!

                                Yes, that is good, I will change it in my script.

                                Tested both astrocmd and bbtimer in mame and lr-mess (16:9) and it works beautifully ;-)

                                  For Caveman, I will have two options in UI named Handheld_Artwork 1 and Handheld_Artwork 2. The first .png will be Bezel-16-9.png and for the second one, it will be Bezel2-16-9.png. Are you ok with that?

                                  Already 8 done !

                                    That's fine by me.
                                    I can add a line that generates the alternatives from these Bezel2 's.

                                    COOL !

                                      Does it have to added to the classich ?

                                      or do you mean tcaveman. which is already in classich ?

                                          Hi, I did those ones in "MAME Artwork format." You can found them here.
                                          Just put them here : /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/artwork
                                          It works for MAME and lr-MESS.

                                          I'm having trouble making pinball "MAME Artworks", but I'm looking for a solution. The Bezel doesn't want to appear for some reason that I don't know yet.

                                            I already had some joy with it.
                                            Will test the others soon ;-)
