: Yep, I thought of that one too. In fact if nothing else easier surfaces I might create a image with the instructions and make it as the backdrop for Game Info in ArcadeOS. Only problem is I hate creating tons of custom pictures. Very time consuming. And they take up more space, but if everyone did a few...

: : I like the idea. Now for my 2 cents...
: : I know in MAME, you can save a screenshot for each game, so that when you highlight the game on the menu, the game shot shows up. Why not use a custom image with game data at that point? That way, anybody who wants to have a looksee can, and those who don't can ignore it. A nice effect might be to save the screen shot image, fade it a bit, then overlay the game details over top.
: : Haven't tried it yet though... :)

I would like a screenshot and then the keys, and my little
3 by 5 card produced so that it all shows up! E-mail me
