MAME ROW #34 - Quantum

@backstander Here are the flyers I found. Nothing to snazzy. Not sure how that'd be used for an overlay, but just in case @UDb23 was bored.

@backstander said in MAME ROW #34 - Quantum:

would you have time to make a quick bezel for Quantum?

I'm currently abroad on a business trip.. an overlay could be ready tomorrow night.
Would that be in time ? ;-)

@UDb23 You're unstoppable!

Yes but no rush ;-)
Safe travels my friend!

@backstander @obsidianspider
note: being a vector game AND using trackball you probably get the best resolution and input support by using advancemame. Unfortunately, as mentioned previously in other threads, advmame only supports "old standard" mame overlays and they're almost imposible to setup in the way you want them (unless you accept to have small and wrong aspect game area).
This means overlay will be for lr-mame2003/lr-fbalpha (retroarch overlay).

Note 2: my (long) todolist for Retropie includes the item "write to the author of advmame" to get these overlays issues fixed. This requires extensive testing to provide detailed examples of "wrong" behaviour in relation to overlay settings... and it's not a priority to me right know... I just started building my first custom control panel (two players) for Retropie...
if successful (=decent results) I will share the project.

ps: @backstander
thanks. weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow for flying back :-)

Hey guys, who ordered a Pizza ?
...ops... an overlay ? ;-)

As Flyer wasn't really attractive and cabinet side art only low res and not easily adaptable: simple overlay made with combo of original control panel and cabinet front graphics.
Final result is not the best but I believe it does the job.

You can find this and more hand crafted quality overlays in the rpie-ovl repository.
And if you want an easy way to install them, @meleu created a great dedicated script.
Perform these commands on your RetroPie:

cd
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/meleu/rpie-art
cd rpie-art
./rpie-art.sh

After launching rpie-art.sh script you just have to follow the instructions in the dialog boxes. Once you have the rpi-art.shscript, choose the Update option to get all the latest art in the repository.

@UDb23 Another masterpiece! Thank you!

[UDb23]

@obsidianspider far too kind!

I think it looks really cool!
Thanks @UDb23 !
