Text in video
Mame viewswitch plugin Mame 254 or newer im using 260
create/copy paste the same files in your
E:\Mame\plugins\viewswitch
After you run a game in mame hit tab/plugin options/quickview switch/quick switch hotkeys
Now you just enter a key to display your bezels
It will create a folder mame/viewswitch with each games settings

Just showing off the plugin, something cool for us all to use
Bezel Collector/viewer
Someone said you could only do this in rocketlauncher till now, never used it, so?

The layouts were all combined from the sources into one, the OrionsAngel artworks were made for retroarch, so needed to make those viewable from mame/artwork/gamename/default.lay

The plugin could use an option to use one key or button to switch between artworks
& a key_up key_down for Instruction cards
and a rotation option for vertical flip tv

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something to keep an eye out for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynamic Bezels - Change to show the character selected & character's moves through artwork -
