What software program below in your post are you using. I can't read foreign language to know what program your using. Or what MAME version did you use. How can I create one of these for myself you didn't explain how you did all this as I have lots of artwork I want to use. This is the look im going for when playing my MAME Arcade games.

This is exactly how I want my games to look like in MAME. I downloaded all the zip files that you posted that I had the ROMS for. I have over 1,500 marquees that I want to use and wanted to know if you can help me with compiling a .LAY file to create such artwork like you have here.
What are the steps to doing this sort of project ?
What program did you use to create this artwork ?

Can you provide some assistance or any help ? Please let me know. I like your formatting on the games you posted here
also the ones on the thread Special Project. I think your the one that posted that thread. Let me know here or you can e-mail me at masclthrcub@yahoo.com.... I want my games looking like the ones you posted here the artwork is great and I love looking at the marquees while im playing a MAME game.

BTW: Do you have a html MAME LAYOUT I can go by when creating my artwork. I found one I think you posted but want to make sure I do this project right the first time. Any help you provide me or can share in english terms he-he would be excellent buddy.. Thanks.

Hello, all you need is mame.
First copy the compressed files in the "artwork" folder of mame.
When launching the game, press "tab", then, in the menu "video options" choose artwork "VCabinet mode". Plus you have to select to show you all artworks (marquee, bezel, etc., ...), Make sure the option "crop artwork" is not activated, and you rotate the image, as they are designed to be viewed in portrait . These artworks are designed for use in a wide-screen monitor with 16:10 format rotated vertically.

To make these artworks need to know how work lay files.

You can download a tutorial I did in Spanish here:

To me, this format makes the most sense because although every game has different dimensions and configurations, there are lots of ways to fill out a 9:16 screen. If I can't do it with a speaker panel, I can do it with control panels/overlays or even partial kickplates. And, obviously, it works with your physical cabinet.

Hi, I'm changing the layout and adding three different views. In a few days I share some samples.

Great, thanks! Are you photoshopping the images to look shadowed? I'd maybe like to try and help, do you have an english tutorial? Looks great!

I modify each image individually for each game. Here's the tutorial in English:

I REALLY like how you made it look like the monitor was in the middle of the artwork. I'd love to see that implemented in more artwork files

Hello MAME Fans..

Been some time since I have used this FORUM
Can someone be as kind to tell me where to place
this file "(zip)" into my MAME. "I D/L it last night
and placed it in my artwork folder and hit the tab
button and scrolled under video options. Only video
options I saw there where MAME'S options ___ > Standard, Pixel Aspect, Cocktail, Debug....


And not the D/L zip file of pacman that I should be able to use.


It's been a year and a half since I have been here sorry for that my old computer I used that I had my MAME project on got wiped out when my M/B went up in flames so I lost all the old work and all my MAME Files. Now keeping MAME on a backup hard drive this time. All I need is my memory refreshed I just need to know where to place this zip file so is there something IM missing. I use MAME 0.146b and MAME Plus 0.154 there both binary files of MAME. Hope to get the answer soon so I can enjoy these files that Antolin created. Any help would be cool. Thanks.

PS Do you keep the file zipped in the artwork file or do you need to extract it into the folder ? Or are there other steps that I need to do ?? Hmm If I remember you need to just keep it zipped and place it into the artwork folder and that's it. But done that and nothing. That's the reason for my post here today guy's.

Make sure the artwork zip file is the same name as your rom zip files. Like Pac-Man, you'd want to make sure the file is named pacman.zip

There are already a few artwork files with animated controls (HAPP push buttons, blinking volcano button LEDs, gear shifters). Working joysticks should be possible as well, but I haven't actually tried it yet. I'm currently working on (and have completed) adding shifters to some games that don't have them, but a lot of games don't support multi-state shifters yet. That would be a mammoth project, I think, for the devs to set that up for so many games. I'd be willing to work on it if they got me some sample code to make it happen and told me how to submit it to the project, but even then it would take some time to set the artwork files up. You'd also have to have good photos (or convincing 3D replications) of each joystick in all 9 positions, and that could be tricky.

What I'd also like to see is some kind of ability to have rotating steering wheels and incremented throttles (such as for Lunar Lander). Alas, if only I were a real coder...
