Title: What do you guys have as your Desktop Wallpaper?
Post by: the3eyedblindman on February 15, 2005, 08:52:20 pm: 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 ;D ;)

Post by: crashwg on February 16, 2005, 02:13:48 am: 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. :P

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

Post by: Gunstar Hero on February 16, 2005, 09:35:14 am: 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. ;)

Post by: Stingray on February 16, 2005, 10:47:59 am: 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.

Post by: sodapopinski on February 16, 2005, 02:30:46 pm: 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

Post by: simplygriff 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.
