MAME - Vertical Bezel on Horizontal Monitor
<< < (3/5) > >>
DickTurpin:
So. Were filling the black borders with these images and because they are transparent we get our actual game screen in the middle. Nice.

Would this be possible: To somehow extend your current bezel into the screen using this technique ?

Not exactly sure how to do it but I bet it would be cool.
Jumpman64:
I want to say someone has done this but I can't remember who or which cab...
DickTurpin:
I think it would be cool jump man. Do you know Manic Miner?
If not you should check it out. I think it would be a game you would like.

Bad news.

Went to download some more files from the widescreen layouts page and the page, files, and folder are all 404.   :hissy:   :banghead:

Did anyone save copies of the .LAY and .PNG files to their local drive? 

I'm tinkering with turning those on their side to make layout templates for a vertical 16:9 or 16:10 widescreen with the largest possible 4:3 display window either horizontal or vertical (as required) and adding a higher resolution marquee to the layout file so that you don't need to use MAME hooker.

Crude proof of concept draft .PNG and manually modified .LAY file (delete the ".txt" from the filename) attached -- but both still need a lot of tweaking before they will work right.

NOTE: If you use the attached .LAY file, you may need to set the video options to turn the screen 90 degrees so the game is oriented properly within the bezel.

EDIT:  Managed to recover the .LAY files (lay.zip) and the 16:9 A-F .PNG files (a-f-16-9.zip) from cache.

Still looking for the rest of the 16:9's and all of the 16:10's.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist on this one.
PL1:
Bump for anyone who downloaded the files from this site and can share them.
