Notes

• Valid Layout Names are host, nes, nesrace2p, snes, snesrace2p, snesrando, fullscreen, fullscreenrace2p, fullscreenrando, fullscreenrandorace2p, widescreen, widescreenrace2p, gb, gbrace2p, gba, gbarace2p, gbarando, gbarandorace2p, gbarandorace3p, ds, dsrace2p, dstall, dstallrace2p, 3ds, & 3dsrace2p.
  • If you provide an invalid Layout Name, it should be immediately evident in the rendering of the layout.
• If you are the last game on the schedule, set the #next-game line of CSS to Nothing or the met incentive game goal.
• For some of the older consoles like NES or SNES, you may have to skew the game capture, as the fullscreen output of the game is not the native resolution of the console.
