Id like to see a feature for themes where you can press a designated button on your control panel (or keyboard for those without cabs) and once pressed the cabinet image would appear in the theme. So for example, I created the Kangaroo theme, and I fire up Hyperspin and load the kangaroo theme page. It shows everything as it is now, but if I decide I want to check out the actual cabinet that the game was played in, I press a button on my control panel, and the cabinet pops up from the bottom of the theme. If I press the button again, the cabinet disappears.
Under Media/Mame/Images you could add a Cabinet directory, and theme creators could put a png image of the actual cab of the game they are creating (max size 1024x768 obvioulsy).
Then in the xml file, just add a line like:
<cabinet x="292" y="180" r="0" delay= "1.5" time="2" type="bounce" start="bottom" />
I have a love for actual arcade cabs, and would love to see some i havent seen before in those rare games.
