MAME Artwork Update - Happy New Year

In-Game Artwork - December 29, 2010
I figured I should take a break from BFBC2: Vietnam, and get together one more release before the year's over...
- Zorg came back for a bit, and gave us a beautiful bezel for Blue Shark, scanned and vectored by him.
Antny continues to contribute, giving us Frisky Tom, scanned by TrevEB.
- Kiltron's still pumping them out, too, with his newest contribution of Cal 50.
TrevEB continues to contribute more full bezel scans. And I hav another new toy to help clean artwork up, so for today's batch, we have bezels for Sundance and Q*Bert's Qubes (dedicated to Angela, the biggest Q*Bert fan out there).
- Also using the new toy, I took the existing bezel for Crazy Kong, and created the "more offical" version of it, based on multiple photos I've seen on arcade and restoration websites (dedicated to Chris, the biggest Crazy Kong fan out there).
- Cleaned up the instruction card for Lethal Enforcers II; thanks to Vintage Arcade for loaning it out for scanning.
- Lastly, added instruction stickers "por tres juegos de cueva." See the LAY files for credits.
There's still lots to come for 2011 and beyond. Seems that Trevor isn't going to run out of stuff to scan anytime soon. It's just a matter of getting to the grindstone and getting them all cleaned up now. Got some more stuff for the Other Artwork page coming later, too.

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

Awesome work Mr Do, kudos to you and your team!
May I ask what your new cleaning toy is ?

Is it possible to download all the artwork at once instead of each file separately?

You realize in the time it took you to send up a reply you could have downloaded from 10 links that were new? Simply click the "Last Updated" column once and see them sorted by date and download the latest shown since last release.

I don't have any art work. So I have to download all 799 artwork files by clicking each mirror?
Why isn't there a zip with everything in 1 easy download?

It could be that there is roughly 1.4 gigabytes of artwork data just in in-game artwork and offering them in a single all-encompassing download would assuredly kill the main site and mirrors pretty quickly. I'd suggest either plugging away at them over time or wait/search for the eventual torrent or newsgroup posting containing the whole set.

Use Firefox and install the "DownThemAll!" plugin, you can launch entire pages of them at a time easily. After you are caught up, the updates aren't a problem when you use the sort by date.

Ah, thank you. I was looking for a torrent as I really don't want to sign up for a Usenet subscription just for the artwork. Would I find it under MAME ARTWORK Special edition or something to the effect?
Maybe RARing it up and splitting the parts between hosts would be a good solution...

I didn't think of that, excellent! Thanks!

It'd be easier to locate a torrent with the files. Certain... ah, sites, release update torrents whenever the packs have been updated, so you can just download the stuff you're missing.
I am afraid that I cannot provide you with any links due to this forum's rules, but they're easy enough to find.

Easynews offers a free 14-day trial. Other newsgroup providers prolly have something similar.

Amazing as always. Dig Dug Cabaret will come shortly after the first of the year.
Will the Blue Shark backdrop/background images be coming also?

I believe that should still be left on the wanted list.
