PowerMAME - New Derivative Build
SirPoonga:
Another thing to add.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50083.0
I did do a hack for an older mame to do this. But then they changed the artwork system and I didn't want to learn the new system. However it might be worth going back to now.
Also, adding a generic bezel. That way on games that don't have artwork you can fill in with something that matches the design of your cabinet.

I must be misunderstanding what you want to do, because I am certain this already exists. When I first set up my cab with v0102 I noticed I had artwork on the sides (1942 for example) and I hated it. It was making me mental. Turns out it was just a config file setting in the mame.ini, so I flipped the value, the artwork went away, and I had empty space on the sides again.
I can't remember which thing I need to set to get rid of them, but here is what the doc says (I think it was either the artwork flag or backdrop flag):
MAME core misc options

etc.). The default is ON (-artwork).

AFAIK Sir.P's tweak cropped the artwork around the screen, so vertical games were still displayed at the full height of the screen, but with the bezel artwork partially showing either side.

All those options are for enabling or disabling artwork. What we are talking about is filling in the black edges with artwork, which means dropping the artwork so it with the game fit a 4:3 screen.
