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 (http://www.progettosnaps.net/marquees_en.html) 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 (http://mrdo.mameworld.info/mame_artwork_ingame.php).
Step-by-step procedure for using the horizontal widescreen layouts from Mr. Do's here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133204.msg1372718.html#msg1372718).
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 (http://mamelayplus.jimdo.com/descargas/) is definitely worth looking into -- it was overloaded earlier today, but check out this (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133204.msg1381873.html#msg1381873) 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.
