Nintendo Game & Watch: Crab Grab artwork. There is a black bar at the top of the artwork covering up the score and others.

I checked the images and there is no black bar at the top. Could be the top of the screen clear area issue to where it become black instead of clear.

See attachment for fix
The forum won't let me attach the file for cgrab, maybe the file is too large (2.7MB).
Anyway, just remove the alpha channel from Subtract.png

I open it up with paint and then save it. Works. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I'm sending a copy over to the laptop that have Ubuntu on it. That where all the handheld games are at.

Mine looks fine too. The only issue I have is that I cannot take a snapshot with any of the different artworks. All I can get is a grab of the Screen(0) Standard mode but I think that's because the gnw(maybe all the handheld) type deal with the screen & artwork differently than the standard video screen. Never really looked into it. Just as easy to use an external program to do a screen capture.

The transparent top part in Subtract.png in the two 'super color' games, gnw_cgrab and gnw_ssparky.
d3d, which is MAME's default renderer on Windows, is ok with it.
-opengl, -gdi, -bgfx(maybe not all backends) don't like it being multiply blended.

If you go to Video Options: Snapshot, you should be able to pick which artwork you want the snapshot to use. I tried on a recent MAME and it works as expected.

Thank you. I replace it. The one that I fix put out deep color on the crabs. Your fix is better.

Matt,
With your old file I did get it using bgfx, gdi, opengl & direct3d. But with your updated 1 it worked as intended for all of them.
The only problem remaining is the snapshot menu. As you can see, none of the different view options show. All of others show up just fine except for Spitball Sparky.
These 2 are the only 2 Super Color GNW's and are the only 2 that have vertical rather than horizontal screens. I doubt it is more than mere coinsidence.
All the others I looked at(of any type) worked just fine. Perhaps something in the vertical orientation to start with is throwing it off but I'm not sure.
Anyway it appears that this fix will probably be a little bit deeper than just changing the lay file unfortunately.
Hopefully I'm wrong and someone will quickly point out my ignorance and it'll be fixed...
Thanks for all your hard work on the artwork!
Same goes to all the devs!

What MAME version are you using? I just tried on the current version and all the options are there in the snapshot menu. Maybe you need to delete the .ini files for Crab Grab and Spitball Sparky. I'm really not sure.
Here is what I see on my end:

My bad...Thanks for the reminder. Shoulda deleted the ini's to begin with. That fixed it!
All good now, and that was a whole lot easier than finding a non-existant problem...
Thanks again!
