MAME / Extra Artwork? (specifically Handheld / Electronic)


dbce

Recommended Posts

Hi guys - I'm a little bit new to Mame, and I just can't seem to find the answer (google + these forums), or I'm just looking for the wrong terms.  

So I have Mame 230, and I've found complete mame rom sets and chd sets for mame 220.  Importing the romset, and getting them working so far isn't an issue for me.  

I specifically have an interest in the Handheld / Electronic games, which nearly all of which have external artfiles like the background and bezels, etc.  As an example, tmkombat.zip works, however it prompt that obviously external artwork is missing.  

I've googled until I'm blue in the face, I can't seem to find artwork packs that cover a whole romset, or even part of one.  I checked Mr. Do but none of the ones I'm looking for (handhelds) exist on there.  I know I'm looking for something along the lines of "mame extras", but I just cannot find a source at all.  I get Handheld / Electronic stuff isn't popular, but I thought perhaps there was complete art packs out there somewhere.  

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thank you!  I don't know why that site never turned up in my searches but over the weekend I managed to get all the art assets downloaded and merged.  

For anybody in the future that may stumble across it, I did the following:

1. Got the "full" artwork packs, extract to the artwork folder.  
2. Got the "full" artwork update packs, extract to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite)
3. Got the widescreen packs, extract to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite)

4. Got the Auxiliiary (extras) packs, exact to the artwork folder (if prompted, overwrite).  

The Electronic / LCD stuff tends to be in the Auxilliary packs, so I saved them for last to prevent them being overrwritten by something else.
