Bezel project (mame) redone,ready for MAMEUI with layout files

Meaning, that at the bottom u can find link for it. All bezels can be used in mame-mameui straight of the box ,because all have .lay files

All bezels have GLASS and Screen Mask. Glass can be turned off in mameui by changing backdrop ON/OFF.

Originally they are fit with conf files for retroarch only

MOST of ALL , Thanks to Krakerman , who originally created most of the artwork

 

I found bezel project for mame and even tho they had a lot of artwork , almost every single one was just so badly done that i had to do something about it.

some of example of bad frames

 

 Some others literally had holes in them, some were just.. All in all quality didnt sit well with me. Now, i dont claim to be professional , ofc i am not. I am just a hack who knows his way around things. So for most part that were same format i created photoshop batch file that will refit all artwork with new higher quality tv frame , for others i had to recreate or fill holes and then refit with new frames.

if someone is interested i recorded some of differences and some of work being done (last 3 hours of work but video is speed up for easier vieweing)

 

And at the end i created layout file .lay for each bezel so it can be used with MAME and not just retroarch.

yt vid on some of differences

 

another video of last 3 hours of work done, just in case someone is curious.

Here is the file (horizontal games - vertical games are at bottom of post)

At the end , small note. I am not doing this to win popularity contest if there was any. I am doing for my self and just sharing ,because i wanted to.

On other note, me saying that bezels were very badly done seems to upset one person on bezel project. Oh well , i offered sincere help ,but he was angry.. nothing i can do about it. everyone is free to use it or not. I dont mind either way.

Last thing!

It consists of 600 bezels but they are all HORIZONTAL! i havent finished vertical stuff yet.

 

Have fun !

 

--------

edit

small fix... afterburner has different bezel then rest of the class , so i kinda missed it

just replace coordinates in its default.lay with this (for video, glass and mask)

<bounds x="162" y="23" width="1583" height="1024"/>

Therefore i am posting mega links instead!

Great stuff! Hats off to the bezel project but it certainly needs some improvements:)

did you submit them back to their github? Seems only fair

No i didn't.

As i mentioned , i did offer them on facebook page, but i got scorned like a unwanted dog without even looking at files. So i just went away and posted here.
