| mame artwork files? |
| (1/1) |
| krick:
Is anyone out there using the mame artwork files in their MAME build on an arcade monitor? I never really paid attention to them until I discovered all the DAT files on the CLRMamePro site. I know the samples are needed but I always just assumed that the artwork files were bezels or something. It seems that they more than that. I'm just trying to figure out if I should go download them or not. |

The art files are zipped up and include differant componants such as bezels and backdrops. Backdrop artwork is nice for asteroids and warlords etc. I personaly dont use the bezels, however, I would if I used a higher resolution. |

some games are really hard or impossible to play without the artwork. Try and play Frogs for example. Alot of 70's game such as Botohill really need those artwork. |
| krick:
Does mame automatically use any artwork placed in the artwork directory? I assume that artwork that is a background or overlay will work fine on an arcade monitor but I think bezels would cause a problem. Is there any way to easily know what stuff is necessary (and will work on an arcade monitor) and what is just fluff (bezels)? |
| Thenasty:
just leave artwork on and bezel off in your INI file. |
