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

[Mr. RetroLust 1,067]

I'll upload bezels here instead of the download section for the time being, once I've made a large collection I'll upload it to the download section. 

Here's my first Mame 4K bezel for the Lights Out series, I'll be making them in no particular order; more like what I like to play at the moment. You don't need to adjust the games .cfg with these bezels, the position and size is already done within the lay file.

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 bro glad you like  I'm using the HLSL shaders, if you are interested I think these are my settings, not sure how to share but this is a snippet from my Mame.ini settings, if you know an other way please let me know.

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, 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".
