Just curious as to what you guys use as your destop wallpaper on your mame arcade machines. I usually just leave a game running on mine, but my desktop wallpaper is the Mortal Kombat 1 start screen, as seen here http://images.webmagic.com/klov.com/screens/M/vMortal_Kombat.png , that way, even when nothing running, it looks like mortal kombat is

I'm using a Star Wars-themed one I made a few months ago.

That's pretty cool!! I guess what I lack in imagination, I make up for with various shades of gray!

That's the same picture that I have on my desktop (not used for MAME) computer!!!

this is my desktop. from the galaga self-test. cant get much more arcady than that! the pic is titled bootscreen but it's actually the desktop. the bootscreen stopped working but it was the green and black part of the same self- test. the couple of times it worked looked great

Had a bonfire this newyears, this is a shot of it which has been my desktop since then. Not very arcady, but it's fairly dark and easy on the night-owl eyes.

[edit] Whoops! Didn't see this part in the original post...

on your mame arcade machines

That's my desktop on my everyday websurfing PC, I don't have a mame machine up and running yet.

I use a still from cinemarcade.com's Arcade '84 movie as both my desktop and my MAMEwah skin. It's cool, when I fire up MAME it's like the games list and screenshots just pop on up!

When I'm not using the MAMEcab to post tho I just have whatever fruity/cool/disturbing desktop my girlfriend set up this week.

I have a bunch of arcade related desktop pics that I have collected from all over the 'net over the years. I rotate them out every once in a while. I think currently it's Donkey Kong.

I had the frisky tom flyer as my wallpaper. The resolution is horrible at that size, but I thought the flyer was a bit creepy, therefore amusing. Dose anybody else find some guy in a naked woman's bathroom a little strange? I'm basing this off the flyer, i've never palyed the game

Mine is essentially a copy of my marquee image.

Minwah · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2005, 03:23:08 pm »

I don't use wallpaper on my cab, just a plain black screen...

walls83 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2005, 03:59:29 pm »

I use pixels mame atomic logo. I have it spilt like a 4 piece pie with each piece a color of my 4 player controls. so one quarter of the image is red the next is blue then green then yellow.

Put an Atari tat on her & she'd be perfect

This is what I've got in mine.

It never shows up unless I'm messing with something, so I like to keep some eye candy

I use hubble images.

I use the default blue WinXP background...

simplygriff · « **Reply #26 on:** February 18, 2005, 03:21:58 pm »

My arcade Machine has a custom background that is the same as my Mamewah Skin so it appears as seemless as possible.
