retrorom MAME artworks

[retrorom]

hi, I started to make artworks for MAME only 5 months ago. My very first artworks were fantasy sony trinitron bezels (based on my old crt) with optional scanlines skin I have made (still from a picture taken from my old sony), it is a png so zero cpu ressource. Then I discovered John Merrit work : except dirt screen that I dislike, I have fallen in love immediately. So I have redone all John Merrit artworks without scratch screen effect and with my scanlines option. This month I started to make new artworks with John Merrit style in 4k 3840-2160px (his original versions are full HD 1920-1080px).

As a sample for this forum, here is my last artwork : Virtua Racing
Steering wheel does not move but start, 4 VR views buttons and shifter paddles work (thanks to my friend Divemaster for inputtags/inputmaks already set as it saves substantial time - export ports names then sorting json file). Top bezel and background are from John Merrit, I have reworked the instructions stickers as original was distorted, and I have added the real control panel with some work.

You can download and test this artwork from my gdrive folder :

I still have not imported all my artworks on gdrive, so at the moment just google "retrorom MAME artworks" to find the forum where I have uploaded all the artworks I have made so far.

Regards,
retrorom.
