Oh Mark yes i read in my start... but "I dont find in anywhere eCarddass??? where i found(Download) the cards?"

[Mark Norville]

Try the internet archive

I did do a search and there were some listings for cardass, I also done a google search and it is a Japanese company where you purchase these packs from.

Yes it looks good in the demo, but pretty much unless you are really into that kind of thing, then to me it is like having toilet paper appear on your monitor, a waste of time as you can't wipe your backside with it.

I have a sneaky feeling that Kent might be from Japan, or if not has a love of Manga and Anime from a lot of his designs.

However, the card system can be used or ignored really, I don't think that it is crucial to how the skin operates.

Oops then I'm out.. LOL thanks for the tip Mark!

I would still give it a go, if it is your kind of skin, as I say you do not need to use the cardass part of it, that can be removed. You are still left with a modern, gorgeous looking front end.

Yes it has a learning curve on how to set it up, it does not come out the box like it does on the video, but once you have it reasonably set up then it does look attractive.

I would call this lunchbox but on steroids as it reminds me a lot of the free front end skin of lunchbox but in a more modern way and much more colourful. I am potentially going to use this on my cinema PC at some point in the future, with just the best games on every system. However, for me on an arcade cabinet it does not make me feel like I am at an arcade, but overall the skin is beautiful, and well developed.
