DEFENDER layout for M.A.M.E (based on Williams 1981 cabinet)

Hey, it's me again ! What about a new UHD layout ?
This time I made it for one of the most difficult game in the world : "Defender". (It's sooooooo hard to write a score)
I took a very long time to dismantle the control panel graphics and re-arrange them in a cool way.

I also reworked the bezel to erase the instructions placement because it was too small to read it even on my giant screen but it took time to recreate stars to fit in the hole. It worth the cost.

^{Features :}
- Full UHD horizontal TV support (3840x2160)
- Based on original upright arcade Williams cabinet.
- On screen official marquee, bezel, control panel graphics, side arts, instructions and many great things.
- Side color and T-molding respec.
- Full game zone's proportions respect (73:60)
- World record from TwinGalaxies displayed

^{Specs :}
- M.A.M.E layout version 2 (tested on 0.218 version)
- Can be easily converted to newer layout version if needed
- Zip file size is 7.7 MB
- Include old existing « Defender» layouts
- Every visual elements are joined in one bezel .png file.

^{Installation instructions for newbies :}
- Ensure you're using mame layout version 2. Verify it by editing another « default.lay » from the zip file of one of your working layout to be sure.
- Replace (or add) the « defender.zip » file in your « /Mame/artwork/ » folder.
- Start M.A.M.E then launch the game « Defender»
- Press the « Tab » key and go to « video » section
- Chose « NOIR Homeplaying FullHD » configuration and ensure « bezel » is enabled. (chose the "WR" version for displaying the world record)
- Exit the M.A.M.E configuration menu
- Enjoy !

^{Notes :}
This Layout is designed for homeplaying on very large screens but should fit perfectly on modern TV, HD and UHD (4K).
You can chose between 2 layouts, one with the world record and one without it.
Notice I now tested the layouts on better version than my previous ones. Now it's 0.218 validated for all my previous layouts.

Mod it and convert it as you like ! I hope you'll enjoy it.
