Mame Logo Variations

@battlecat These are the logos currently available in the custom logo pack:

I liked the idea of keeping some of my mame roms seperated. For example having all the old classics in one system. I also didn't like the FBA logo. Lastly I didn't think friends or family would know what MAME was. So I made multiple versions of the Arcade system logo and placed them in the appropriate theme folders. Not trying to say this is the best way to organize items but its how I like to do it.

The font I used is Bauhaus 93

@caver01 That is an interesting idea and work-around.

@dquez I gotta say that this thinking is totally up my alley. Thank you for putting it out there as well. There was some initial resistance to my suggestions but I think it is starting to calm down.

I love the logos.

Well... after all I think we need a little more repeated words here... :-)

I said on my first response:

@battlecat a guy named @UDb23 made some cool logos for different versions of mame.

@meleu You are right that you did say there were cool logos out there. Totally true.

What I was shooting for is a change in Retropie to include the MAME variation icons by default.

Work-arounds are nice but are in the end not a great way to enhance a program.

:)

Thanks again for your patience and help.

@battlecat As @meleu said, if you'd like the mame specific version icons to be included by default, the best way is to request it to the Carbon theme creator in the Carbon Theme Suggestions thread.

If you like some of my custom logos to become standard, it is ok to me if they'll be included in Carbon.

@dankcushions Hey there. I was playing with RetroPie and MAME last night. I noticed that in one version of MAME I think MAME 2003 R-Type Leo has no audio. When I loaded it from the mame4all version I had audio.

This is the kind of thing that requires me to keep both MAMEs active so that I can get working versions of all my roms.

Thanks,
BC

@UDb23 Ive sent the suggestion into the forum. Fingers crossed!

@battlecat I've helped you with the description. Otherwise we would get another series of repeated posts. :D
