MESS Artwork update 07/01/2016
#356137 - 07/01/16 11:04 PM


Hey folks,
The MESS Artwork page has received an update today!
http://www.mess.org/artwork

NOTE: Practically all of the "required" handheld artwork files are no longer needed in your artwork folder as of MAME 0.173 and above, because they are now bundled with the ROMs! But in case you haven't updated your ROMs yet or if you're still trying to maintain a slightly older version of MAME, they're still online - for now. If you still need these, look in the "Discontinued Required Artwork" section.

What's New:
- Replaced/added the following handheld game artworks with the help of hap, Rik, OG, kevtris, etc.: Donkey Kong (Coleco), Galaxy II (VFD Rev. B) (Epoch), Galaxy II (VFD Rev. D) (Epoch), Gradius (handheld) (Konami), Lone Ranger (handheld) (Konami), Pac Man 2 (Entex, cyan Pacman), Pac Man 2 (Entex, red Pacman), Ultraman Monster Battle (Bandai)
- Added Bad A Billy & Nightvoice's Dungeons & Dragons - Computer Labyrinth Game (Mattel) artwork
- Added Jonah1976's Lynx (Atari) artwork.
- Added Nightvoice's Tron (Tomy) alternate artwork.
- Updated DAT and (MAMEUI) INI files.

To Be Done:
- Replace and add the new Artwork Preview snaps.

With the return of Mr. Do, it's possible this may be one of the last times that myself or AntoPISA updates this page.

Yes, I'm well aware there's no longer such thing as MESS. Another reason why we're happy Mr. Do has returned.

- Stiletto

Backlog since the last "official" news update:


08/30/2015:
Updated the MESS Artwork page again.

http://www.mess.org/artwork

Here's what's new:
- Uploaded Comboman's Speak & Read artwork.

09/14/2015:
- Uploaded AntoPISA's TurboGrafx 16 artwork.
- Added to page: epacman2, kingman, nes, pbqbert, tmpacman, wizatron, zackman

10/16/2015:
- The page now has all the previews, thanks to AntoPISA.

10/23/2015:
- Added AntoPISA's Nintendo GameBoy Pocket artwork.
- Updated the page, dat and ini files.
- Added PCW8256 (Amstrad) artwork.
- Updated Prodest 128 (Olivetti) artwork.
(Thanks to Retro27 for the contributions.)

11/06/2015:
- Added AntoPISA's Commodore 64 (PAL) (1084 monitor) artwork.
- AntoPISA updated MegaDuck/Cougar Boy artwork.
- Artwork preview snapshots updated.
- Dat and ini files updated to 06/11/2015.

02/13/2016:
- AntoPISA Added Commodore 64 (NTSC) (1702 Monitor and Floppy Drive) artwork, courtesy of Nightvoice.
- AntoPISA updated DAT and INI file(s).

03/24/2016:
- AntoPISA and Stiletto added hap's artwork for bpengo and bbtime and einvader.

03/26/2016:
- gckong.zip, packmon.zip, and msthawk.zip have been replaced by hap at MESS artwork page with "newer, better versions"
- hap suggested we remove mvbfree.zip and efball.zip and their artwork previews because internal artwork is better than external artwork. So Stiletto removed them from the MESS Artwork page. The files are still there, but they're not linked on the page.
- pretty much all clickable chess artwork was broken in some fashion for some reason. We had to update the following: academy.zip, alm16.zip, alm32.zip, amsterd.zip, berlinp.zip, bpl32.zip, dallas16.zip, gen32.zip, gen32_41.zip, gen32_oc.zip, glasgow.zip, lond020.zip, lond030.zip, lyon16.zip, lyon32.zip, milano.zip, mm4.zip, monteciv.zip, polgar.zip, sexpertc.zip, van16.zip, van32.zip - which was a project we'd started in November. Now they should work again, but only for MAME 0.165-0.171. Previous MAME (0.164 and before) requires the previous artworks, which are no longer stored there.
- academy.zip, alm16.zip, alm32.zip, amsterd.zip, berlinp.zip, bpl32.zip, dallas16.zip, gen32.zip, gen32_41.zip, gen32_oc.zip, glasgow.zip, lond020.zip, lond030.zip, lyon16.zip, lyon32.zip, milano.zip, mm4.zip, monteciv.zip, polgar.zip, sexpertc.zip, van16.zip, van32.zip, mm5.zip, dallas,zip, dallas32.zip, rebel5.zip, roma32.zip, supercon.zip have all been removed/rewritten for MAME 0.172 due to MAME license change and the old artwork is not compatible with what is now in MAME 0.172. We moved all of this to a new section on the page, called "Discontinued Decorative Artwork". mm5.zip, dallas,zip, dallas32.zip, rebel5.zip, roma32.zip, supercon.zip should all also work for before MAME 0.165, even though they are in the MAME 0.165-0.171 section.

03/27/2016:
- AntoPISA added bzaxxon artwork, courtesy of hap.
- Stiletto added gjungler, kcontra, ktmnt and ktopgun artworks.

03/26/2016:
- AntoPISA replaced artwork preview images for: einvader.zip, gckong.zip, msthawk.zip and packmon.zip.

So Mr. Do after all didn't return. Guess we have to wait a little longer for official update and artwork merging.

One day, the Jedi will return. For now, he waits patiently on Tattooine for the time to be right.

*laughs forever* If he's a Jedi, then I'm a Sith Lord.

I'm back... just have underestimated current real life.

I've got some things together already... but the MESS thing probably won't happen until next year. We'll see...




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