Summary	05628: Artwork: Cannot make screenshot of alternate artwork
Description	In games with alternate artwork like astdelux or bzone I cannot make screenshot with alternate artwork even it's sets correctly. Even if I set alt artwork MAME makes screenshot with default artwork.
Steps To Reproduce	Just start a game with various artworks like astdelux or bzone. Now enter menu go to video options and change artwork, make screen with various configurations. Even you set rev1 or cabaret artwork screenshot will be for default artwork configuration. Restarting mame with already set options does not help.

An example: In "Asteroids Deluxe" with the Mr. Do's artwork you have these video options: Upright Artwork Upright Artwork Rev1 Cocktail Artwork Color Overlay Standard Pixel Aspect Cocktail If you want a snapshot with the second artwork simply add this "-snapview Upright_Artwork_Rev1" (use the _ instead of blank), so: mame astdelux -snapview Upright_Artwork_Rev1 Does the trick. Remember, what you get on the snapshot is not always what you see on the screen.

Artwork isn't something I normally use in day to day but it certainly makes more sense to have the ability to change the snapview in that way. I would say this satisfies the OP's original intent to snapshot the different artwork/video options available.

From mame -showusage: -artwork_crop crop artwork to game screen size -use_backdrops enable backdrops if artwork is enabled and available -use_overlays enable overlays if artwork is enabled and available -use_bezels enable bezels if artwork is enabled and available -use_cpanels enable cpanels if artwork is enabled and available -use_marquees enable marquees if artwork is enabled and available An example: mame astdelux -snapview Upright_Artwork_Rev1 -artwork_crop -nouse_overlays You will get snapshots using the second artwork without overlay (the wireframe are white instead of cyan) cropped to the screen area. You can you modify what you see via menu but the snapshot's format will not change.
