After an exhaustive search for MAME wheels and getting tired of scrolling a ton of default wheel mame games, I decided to write a script to go through all my logos and screenshots for MAME and combine them using the Wheel_500x500.psd template. All PNGs and PSDs are named to match the MAME rom name. I've included rom variants since the logos and screenshots can vary for the "same" game and, while I use merged, there are probably peeps that are running a variant rom or two. Should be able to just match the roms you have and drop the wheels in your POPMedia directory for MAME. Having the variants also means if the PNG that matches your rom isn't great and there's a better one as a variant, you can just rename the variant and drop it in. Note that these are everything that had matching logos and screenshots, so mature games and (ugh) slot machines aren't filtered out - some of you may like that stuff.

Since MAME screenshots vary wildly in size, the script just doubled the screenshot and slipped it under the wheel mask. This is great for small screenshots, less ideal for large. You can open up the PSD and rescale, move or even replace the screenshot if it's just garbage (005 I'm looking at you). The screenshot layer is the selected layer in all of these. You still gain the game logo floating over everything.

As to the logo, it's got a 1px black stroke and a white screen outer glow. This seems to be good for the majority of the wheel to separate the logo and the wheel, but there's sure to be some here and there that just don't work. Layer effect is live (not flattened) in the PSD so you can easily adjust if needed.

None of the assets used to make these were created by me (except for the scripting required to build all these):
Wheel_500x500.psd is included in a wheel template pack from Rajo Joey's excellent mega wheel pack - 

Logos and screenshots are just acquired here and there from MAME extras downloads and scrapes from Retropie, Hyperspin, etc.

These are all of course free to be used/modded however.

tldr; MAME wheels =D
