Bezel Art Pack

[ron310]

I'm not sure if its ok to ask, so if its not, it's about to be too late (sorry)

Is there a place to get a bezel art pack for mame? I've never seen a pack, only individual files...

Again, sorry if its frowned upon to ask.

No problem, Ron310.

Progetto Snaps has a TON of great artwork for MAME -- marquees, screencaps, cabs, control panels, PCBs, flyers . . .

The largest variety of marquees/bezels/related artwork/layout files is at Mr. Do's site here.

Step-by-step procedure for using the horizontal widescreen layouts from Mr. Do's here.

If you want higher resolution marquees (1024 px wide instead of 500 px) and numerous layouts for vertical or horizontal widescreen setups, Lord Hiryu's MameLayPlus site download page is definitely worth looking into -- it was overloaded earlier today, but check out this thread, download the 32 or 64 bit executable (hosted on a different server) and try again later.

Looks like they are using a free dropbox account and dropbox has a 20GB per day limit on the amount allowed and if an account goes over that (total is for their entire account not per file) they will place a 72 hour freeze on downloads and each time the account goes over the freeze gets longer - so not sure how long it may take to get them there but it might take awhile. (too bad they didn't set up a P2P file share for it so those that get it could also help provide it to others)

EDIT : They are back online currently for who knows how long !

Thanks for the info.
I was looking more to download a pack of bezels, rather than each one individually though. I have a lot of games, and was looking to save some time.

They are a set just packed into alphabetical downloads to keep the download size under the limits that drop box allows for free (around 25 - 50 MB per file) you just download the 12 of them and then extract into your marquee folder ( It is not a complete set but does have 1156 marquees so is a good start of higher quality images - What I did was get the entire set of marquees for Mame 0.149 which is lower quality but has around 3000 marquees ( Got these as a 9+ GB download that has  the various artwork folders for MAME 0.149 (ie. Cabinets,Artwork,Marquees,Flyers,etc.) as a single download (should be able to find it by searching "Mame 0.149 Extras, Artwork" on Google or a popular P2P site) and then merged this set into the marquees folder overwriting the existing lower res copies.

Thanks for the help! Things are looking a lot better now.
