Title: Instruction snaps/packs for CPviewer
Post by: dkubarek on January 16, 2009, 12:34:09 am
Anyone know where you can get instruction packs to go with Mame rom sets. I just loaded CPviewer 2 (killer program, very easy setup) and it has an option to display the instructions. It can also display original control panels but I know where to find them. Thanks.

Mame's "official" art page: mrdo's (http://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork.html).  Check the ingame art.  I think that's what you want.

It looks like you have to download each game individually, right? I'll pass for now if that's the case. I wouldn't use them too much, but it would be cool to have them sometime. Thanks for the help.

Hmm, there was a torrent link at one point, IIRC.  (I've DL'ed only a few games that I want, so I could be remembering a post at the official mame artwork forum (http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=artwork).)

If you just want an all-in-one torrent file, goggle "mame artwork torrent", and make sure it's semi-recent, and run a virus check on it before using.  Other places might have the artwork directly downloadable in one or a few files, but 2+ gigs (for all the artwork) is a lot of bandwidth.  Or asking at the artwork forum probably will be more productive.
