Adding Bezels in MAME w/ BigBox

[rydin4life]

I've Googled adding some bezel artwork to my MAME build using BigBox, and inevitably came to this forum.  I have an account with emu movies, but I'm not sure exactly where to go to download the bezel artwork.  I'm on MAME .209 and have BigBox as I mentioned.  Can anyone point me to exactly what I need to download?

 

To confirm, I'm not using Rocket Launcher...just straight into MAME

As itchyRobot mentioned, the BezelProject for Windows is your easiest bet.  These bezels are installed within Mame iteself, so it doesn't matter what front end (ie. BigBox) you're using. Most of the bezels you can find on EmuMovies are to be used with RocketLauncher, which is a completely different process/file type than what you need to use within Mame directly. The video above explains it well, and the direct link to the github page for it is https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject-Windows.  It's really easy to use though.  Essentially when you run the installer/wizard it will ask you what you want to download items for.  You select Mame from the list, point to the location where you installed mame, and it will download/install the bezels in the proper location etc. within Mame.

The Bezel Project files are not compatible with vertical monitors, sorry.
