          @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.

              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.

                                  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 ;-)

                                          These are all an amazing feat.
                                          I came across this post in search of the bezel for Caveman (Grandstand version).
                                          @JimmyFromTheBay is the best I've come across.
                                          Would it be possible for you to share the complete bezel? As in, with the sides.

                                          Caveman Bottom and Top bezel

                                          I'm sure that I've messed up the above post but I had to try.
                                          TIA.

                                            I'm afraid that's all I did.

                                            Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.
