I'm using Reshade injections instead!

I've spent 48 hours of cursing and almost crying because even though in the past installation of Mame 226 I got bezels working...I for-the-life-of-me cannot get bezels to show after I changed two original copies of files I attached here...and since I cannot upload .json files :evil: from ./plugins/l...

UPDATE: I noticed the "Sega Sega CD" ( )...WTF?! And why is all the 3 'sub-tabs' under Devices greyed out?!

I'm using NegaMame variant (almost identical code base to official .224) /Negatron frontend setup, but I can't get my assigned-F hotkey to register its input by emulator, (I tried F key in OS-generic context), and I previously had default fullscreen working weeks ago. I hope to test if the fullscree...

Finally answered email...STUPID SPAMBOTS!
