I call my format "9x16", designed for those of us who use vertical monitors with MAME. The specs are as follows: 1. Fill out as much of a 9x16 layout as possible with existing cabinet artwork. 2. Avoid empty black space on the screen by using generic speaker panels, kickplates/coin doors, sideart, flyers, and custom bezels/control panels where needed (based on other existing artwork). If you prefer the no-bezel look of some games where I've added a custom one, launch them with the -nouse_bezels switch. 3. Every file has a Full_Cabinet view and a Full_Cabinet_Lit view; in the lit version, everything but the marquee, game screen, and LEDs are dimmed to create a backlight effect.
The main difference between this and the VirtuaCab format is that in order to add control panels to that format, I'd have to be a 3D modeler, which I'm not. These are mostly add-ons to the official MAME artwork files, with control panels added wherever possible, and many have working LEDs/gear shifters that I haven't posted elsewhere. Many of these files are unfinished/in progress, and all are of varying quality depending on what I was able to find. I included MAME/MESS, HBMAME, and even Daphne files (but the Daphne thing I'll save for another time). Everything included is AS IS; feel free to tweak if you like. If I haven't properly sourced anything, let me know; this was a long project.
