Try attached file:

-- black background @ 2560x1440
-- one view for horizontal, one for vertical, with your specifics above

Should get you the result you are looking for.

If you want this to apply for all single-screen games, follow the directions here:

https://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork_generic.php

for "override artwork," to make a horizontal and vertical ini file... for this, you should take the attached, and make it into two separate LAY files; one for each orientation.

And if you want to make other LAY files with different resolutions, just change your width/height on the screen to the different resolution, and adjust x/y accordingly, to recenter.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
