Been like that when frotz had Atari Triple Hunt first emulated in 2001 or 2002 and no external artwork support for Triple Hunt until several years later.

Yep. The artwork rendering support needs an update since it was done in 2006, but I am impressed with the ingenious work-around methods that contributors have done with the layout system over the last several years. It's too bad that a wall game like the original version of Gremlin's Trap Shoot is beyond the capability feature of the current layout set up.

While the artwork / layout needs a future update and also an actual scan of the Shoot Away wall screen is needed as well, can't the current cheat/hack as you described be used in MAME for now?
I'd like to believe Shoot Away II can be almost to the level of these examples (below) even though the rendering output would still be a hack at this time. I like what Sandro was able to do with Ice Cold Beer even though the artwork scans of the pieces would really be the final touch. I am certain a backdrop for Shoot Away II might be able to be scanned eventually. Hopefully there will be a future overhaul for external artwork rendering that can handle multiple lamps output and other features.
