I've scanned my Gameboy Color and created a MESS bezel and lay file - you can drop it right in the MESS artwork folder. I hope it's okay to upload MESS artwork here. If not, please remove this post as I've also uploaded it to the MESS forums, but I figured it would get more exposure here.

The bezel was scanned at 1200 DPI so the image is pretty large and the archive is 35 megs. I only wanted to do this once and didn't want this to become obsolete in 5-10 years when much higher resolution monitors are available. I thought about scanning at 2400 DPI but thought that would be overkill :-). I have more coming soon: A Gameboy Pocket (black), Gameboy Advance (purple), 2 Gameboy Advance SP's (black and purple), Nintendo DS (gray), and a GameGear. Here's a small taste of the Gameboy Color:

BTW, I tried like hell to get the gunk out of the buttons but it was futile without a microscopic Q-tip :-). I wish I had a pristine unit to scan, but oh well...

Looks great. Besides, a little gunk adds to the realism

I had actually never heard of it until now, but after some googling it looks like it's manufactured in Australia and a bit pricey to find in the US. Although, now that I think about it I could just disassemble the Gameboy and wash the buttons in soap and water... Hmmm... Also, Velcro apparently makes a similar product to Blu Tack called Sticky Fix Tak that is pretty cheap.

"Doing it once" - the only true solution to that, it seems, is to get the vectorization artists interested. Also, that seems difficult for them to do with photos of 3D objects...
What would be REALLY cool would be if the different color cases could be coded within a LAY file as some sort of palette change, to save space.
That might be artificial-looking and hard to do, however. And surely LAY files lack that functionality...

Surely he's talking about that blue gunk we all used to use to hang up posters in college dorm rooms so as not to punch holes in them? I'm sure there's a number of different names, found in K-Marts and places? Are you telling me they no longer sell that stuff?
