MAMEWorld Forums - MAME Artwork X: Other Artwork Projects - [ANNC] MAME 'virtual cab' widescreen artwork

Hi. Wasn't sure whether to post here or the News Submission forum, but anyway...

Iv'e made some 'virtual cab' artwork specifically to utilize the extra screen space of a widescreen display. It mocks up a view of playing the games in an actual arcade cabinet, complete with shading, shadows, and screen reflection that covers a bottom section of the game screen. All to make it as realistic as possible.

All artwork comes in packs of 10, and is at a resolution of 1920x1080, making it good for displaying on a 1080p TV, too.

Usage notes:
* Download and unzip the individual artwork files into your MAME 'artwork' folder.
* All artwork has three versions:
- Full artwork (default)
- Artwork without screen reflection
- Artwork without screen reflection and artwork shading
These can be selected from the in-game MAME menu, under 'Video Options'.
* The monitor bezel is displayed separately as a backdrop layer. You can turn it off/on independently in the 'Video Options' menu.
* The game screen is shaped/shaded to the monitor bezel, using a mask image displayed as an overlay. Works especially well (I think) when using the FANTASTIC shader effects available in MAME, but you may need to tweak your horizontal/vertical position/stretch and pincushion, to get the game image to fit the bezel exactly (just like a real monitor :P).

Most of the original artwork I sourced from Mr. Do's excellent artwork archive, so a big thanks to him, and all other contributors!

Enjoy!
