Happy Christmas or Yule brothers!

Arcade 3D Boxes 2.0

Important: Press follow button in the upper right corner to get notified for any future updates to this project, future updates to this page will not be pushed to the "What's New" section.

I was inspired by the Mame 3D Boxes by @Robin55 and @Reevesad and the work by @spycat and @MadK9 

At first I experimented to convert Robin's work to a darker color as it fits my dark colored setup better, one thing let to another and was helped enormously by @Robin55 in the process of automation and more, if it wasn't for all his help and work this project wouldn't have happened, thanks again so much brother! \m/

The 3D boxes are mostly for the Mame set (could include other emulators as well) but only includes Arcade video games, no pinball, fruit machines and such.

Features:

  • Covers based on official flyers, instruction flyers or fan art, customized official artwork and more. I've hunted down previously artwork missing from databases and/or very rare flyers, original resolution of these images can be low some times.
  • Each box has a logo for the game, if it was missing I've hunted it down or extracted it from images (I upload these logos to the database as well)
  • Each box has a logo of the company that either developed or published it (some flyers may have a different publisher from another region, bit confusing at times)
  • Each box is manually color corrected, cleaned and optimized
  • Some games have a second alternative version, made from cabinet side art, marquees or from a different region for example

Please remember if you miss boxes to also check the naming convention of the file and if it is the same as the most recent version in the database. Any entry with "The" in front (Like The Astyanax) will be included in the QRST pack.
NOTE! : After installing the images you have to select all (or any alphabetical range) arcade games (CTRL+A = select all) go to Tools and click 'Refresh selected images', let it load and cache and the games should now display the right 3D boxes. 

Hope you like :)

Released

Version 2.0

  •  Added the last pack: "TUVWXYZ - UPDATE PACK" Finally done! ?;)  (what a relief lol)

I'll prepare and package the tools and templates used upcoming days, I'll have to redo some scripts/actions to make them standalone so to speak.

NOTE! : After installing the images you have to select all (or any alphabetical range) arcade games (CTRL+A = select all) go to Tools and click 'Refresh selected images', let it load and the games should now display the right 3D boxes.

Best MAME boxes I've come across! Can't wait for the rest. Great Job!

Response from the author:

Thanks man! Glad you enjoy them as well, will take a few months as I like to keep the quality as high as possible, only have to do this once so I better take my time to make em look as nice as I can, few setbacks on health so it could take a little more time but hope you have patience :)

Have been waiting for something like this for years!

Can't thank you enough for your great job! :)

 

Will the 2D covers used for this set released too? ?

Response from the author:

Thanks man glad you like :) All the fronts used are from the launchbox database or otherwise made and uploaded to the database, so you can use the scraper for this. Do note for scraping; it's either advertisement flyer front, advertisement flyer back, fan art box front, or arcade controls.

These are very good - an improvement on the previous standard for MAME 3D boxes. There seem to be 795 files here - looking forward to the updates to the rest of the set in 2019! Thanks!

these are  nice but sad thing is they dont go by the real roms names for example you named the images Battletoads-01 and you should name the image  btoads because Battletoads on mame reads the roms zip files as btoads.zip, now I have to rename all these images to there orginal name ... Im ratiing this a 2 stars 

Response from the author:

So because you just don't get how the launchbox database naming works you rate this 2 stars, thanks so much.
