Are you more of an arcade enthusiast and less of a "computer guy"? Have you wanted to add a M.A.M.E. cabinet to your collection but dread the thought of putting together a personal computer, getting all the necessary software installed and configured to work properly? Is "tinkering with a PC" not something that you relish ..
SPHERE: A pretty cool looking low resolution horizontal layout. It’s a spiritual sibling to the “Vertical Sphere” layout I made for vertically oriented monitors. I actually had this one finished before I finished the vertical version but I’d not put any finishing touches on it. I sort of dig the “broken glass” effect in the gameslist ..
Here is a collection of Attract-Mode front end layouts I’ve created or tweaked. Attract-Mode is a front end program used to launch MAME, FBA, Daphne, and other emulators. All these front ends were designed with lower resolution arcade monitors in mind. All these layout files have all modules included and implemented in the layouts themselves ..
DATA EAST v1.1: I will take no credit for the skin art on this one as I essentially lifted it off the net and modified it to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio*. This layout has all the usual layout list options… standard text, smooth scrolling text, logo, etc… The difference between v1.1 and the original ..
Diamondplate was the first layout I did on my own last year. Diamondplate 2 brought a few more features to the mix and this version, Diamondplate III again brings more features to the layout. If you’re a fan of the last two versions of Diamondplate, you will likely be quite happy with Diamondplate III. If you’re not familiar with this layout, I encourage you to give it a try. It was originally created to use in my Capcom Anthology arcade machine and has a decidedly Capcom-esque theme, though it can be used for just about any system considering how many skins are included. This is a horizontal oriented theme.
DISPLAYVIEW is a layout made specifically for Attract-Mode’s “Display Menu”. There may be some of you who are familiar with Attract-Mode, maybe even some who have been using it for a long time even, who may be wondering what, exactly, I am talking about. I know that I, personally, used attract-mode with my ARpiCADE arcade ..
GAME MONITOR: If large unimpeded video snaps are your thing, this is your theme! It features a large preview section and scrolling games list to the right. All modules necessary to run this game have been included and are implemented in the layout so it should be plug n’ play. This layout was designed to ..
IREM v1.1: Another in the “arcade manufacturer” themed series… with this Irem layout you can select between the standard text, smooth scrolling text, or smooth scrolling logo games list. You can choose game list backgrounds, adjust the speed of the scroll, etc. The difference between v1.1 and the original theme I’ve already released is that ..
KONAMI v1.1: This Konami themed layout includes a number of options including the ability to choose between logos or a text game list, scroll speed options for the logo and text game list, etc. The only difference between v1.1 and the original version released on other websites is the fact that I’ve moved the conveyor_helper ..
NEO-GEO v1.2: This is a straight forward NEO-GEO layout with few options. You can choose a static or animated mini-marquee. You can choose to use a text games list or the games logos, with or without a “shadow” effect… and there are two different backgrounds to choose from. This layout should be plug n’ play ..
NEO SHUFFLE: This is essentially three Neo-Geo layouts in one as you can select a layout which style “skin” you prefer with each with differing sizes of preview and mini-marquee elements. You can select scroll speed as well as a few “background colors” for the behind the mini-marquee “shuffle” window. As are all my layouts, this ..
An excellent vertical oriented Attract-Mode layout to use with your arcade machine!
Another excellent horizontal layout for Attract-Mode
SDAMax II is an excellent front-end layout to use for both vertical and horizontal oriented arcade machines. The idea for SDAMax came when I decided to implement a “full screen” option for the SDArcade layout … however, with some of the additions I’d made to the SDArcade layout, I decided the best plan of action was to create a “fork” of sorts and flesh the idea out as it’s own separate layout. This is the result. The layout works great in both horizontal and vertical modes (changeable via the settings menu). I invite you to give SDAMax II a try!
The idea for SDAMax came when I decided to implement a “full screen” option for the latest update to the SDArcade layout … however, with some of the additions I’ve made (and will be making) to the SDArcade layout, I decided to flesh the idea out as it’s own separate layout. This is the ..
