EDIT: ok, I get a cropped top section of the screen, and black space at the bottom.

Mame creates a different size windows IF you point it to a valid artwork directory no matter what any of the artwork options are. How strange.

EDIT2: This might be about what video mode mame starts up in. Hit Tab and go to video options, then switch between 3:4 aspect and pixel aspect (7:8)

Once you have run with bezels, mame starts up in the "with instructions card" video mode, which appears to crop some of the screen?

Deleting the cfg files does nothing. The only thing that will make it go back to normal is removing the valid artwork directory. The thing is, if you put the valid artwork directory back, it gets messed up again. It seems to be creating the space for the bezel, whether you want it to or not.

If anyone is looking for a temp fix to this, just create a individual ini file for the game (if you haven't already) and add an "artwork" entry like you would have in mame.ini, and make sure it points to a directory that doesn't have your mame artwork. I'm glad to finally have Arkanoid working the way it should  :applaud:

I find another solution is to the run the game (as its cropped), hit Tab, go to video options, and select Pixel Aspect 7:8 mode (which should correct the cropping). If you then quit, the setting appears to be remembered even if you have a valid artwork directory..............................

For some reason that didn't work for me, but I'll try it again later.
Howard_Casto:
I'm pretty sure that what you described is not the cause of the problem, rather something unique to your configuration.  Turning artwork off should fix issues related to bezels and just setting a valid path isn't enough to change the aspect.  It is good that you got it working though. 

Artwork cannot be disabled anymore, but what you do is you disable all of the subsets.  Generally disabling bezels is good enough for most people as any special artwork is not classified as a bezel and thus it'll still be displayed. 

Hope that helps.
