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

[Mr. RetroLust]

You can download the bezels one by one in this thread or download them all over here: 

 

Part of the "Lights Out - Realistic Bezels" series, for RetroArch bezels in this series see: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/1950-mr-retrolusts-lights-off-retroarch-bezels/

NOTE: This project uses a reflection and scratch layer to add a realistic effect, it defines the style of the project, this is not for everyone. But please don't request "a clean verion" as I haven't kept the layer formats for all these games, this project is what it is.

Awesome stuff bro, super stoked to see some more arcades done in your brilliant "lights out" style, I'll certainly be watching this thread closely.

Thanks bro, glad you like I'm working on Naomi as well in the mean time, a lot of dedicated cabinets and variations so it takes a while to get em done.

Awesome work, thanks so much for this project.

Just curious, what shader are you using in those pics?

Thanks, I think you also need the "raster.ini" and "vector.ini" files from /ini/presets in your Mame folder. If it's not too much of a bother, that would be awesome if you shared them.

I like how your settings aren't overpowering. The scanlines look "right" in my 40-something brain as to what arcade monitors looked like back in the day.

1945k III  arcade mame bezel, a bit of a boring bezel but I couldn't find any instruction stickers or anything, but it's a bezel, every Mame game should need one.

Awesome work.

Regarding the shader files, It has been a while that I wanted to ask about it. 

I am not an expert but, based on the file, it seems that you don't distort (or tilt) the screen to create the effect of a CRT monitor curvature, right? Any advice regarding distortions?

I think for arcades I use some shader call CRT (CRT-Royale, maybe).

Thanks man  There is a bit of distortion going on in my shader file; "distortion 0.15".
