Mr. RetroLust's - Mame 4K - Lights Out - Realistic Bezels 6.6

I didnt kept all the files in layered format just the ones that can be used regularly around 30 or something, I will release those when the project is complete. But even with those files you'd have to remake all of them and find all the artwork, a big job lol been at it for a few years now.

The default bezel zipped folder has 4 overlays; Horizontal, Vertical, and a Horizontal and Vertical for the Japanese cabinets. With Photoshop or GIMP one could edit the reflections and scratches by hand on those 4 images. Shouldn't have to edit every game. I do agree that the scratches are very prominent but unfortunately what really throws me off is the background reflection onto the game screen. But I'm pretty sure those 4 overlay PNG's will solve this issue as that is where those imperfection graphics come from.

Awww thanks man Glad to see you enjoy them

Got a little bit of an odd issue here - when I use these (which I love by the way!) my bgfx settings (scanlines etc) all disappear

When I change back my artwork folder to the bezel project, they work...

Literally the only change I make... any ideas why that would be?

Im a bit slow lol but only now I realize you mentioned BGFX, for me HLSL works much better for effects, maybe switching to that will allow the artwork and effects, read: https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/hlsl.html

Thanks - this might be a bit off topic for this thread! But, Mame docs seem to imply that BGFX is for (nearly) everyone and seemed to be the more modern implementation hence why I settled on that for my new setup (I was using HLSL in previous setup!)

Its been quite a few years since ive setup my mame configuration but I heared back then that bgfx wasnt as good as hlsl and I did have problems using bgfx but I cant remember what it was. Anyhow you could try it out to see if that fixes the problem.

A big thank you for this beautiful collection.
The subtle effects create an extraordinary atmosphere, I feel like I'm back in the late 80ies 😁

I just spent two week updating the lay files to the new artwork system (MAME 0.226 onwards) because some of them became incompatible with it (especially files with screen overlays).

If you wish I can send you a private link so that you can publish them by yourself or if not, would you allow me to share this work here and/or at Mameworld please?

Thanks man, good to hear Ah yes I was afraid of that, i'm using an older Mame version. You can upload it here in the Launchbox downloads, a link in the description to this original project page would be nice Good luck man!

What's New in Version 4.2 

- Added upgraded Special Criminal Investigation dedicated cabinet bezel

hi, i have a little issue. When i run a game directly from Arcade64.exe, i can correctly see it, with the bezels and so on, like this:

but if i run it from LB/big box, it is in fullscreen and the image isn't correct, bezels at left/right aren't totally visible:

why? how can i view the game in the same way as from Arcade.exe?

thanks

I use Mame standalone for arcade games not arcade64, so I'm not sure if the settings are the same. There is an option in video settings called something like artwork crop, this should be set to off. Its also possible the artwork crop settings are set by launchbox somewhere in launch parameters (dont know the exact place or words for it) which override the mame settings. Hope someone here can explain it better.

yes, the Artwork crop in unchecked, and it perfectly works when i run mame games from Arcade64.  The issue is present only if i run them from LB/BIG BOX: probably there should be an option in LB in order to fix this...
