I've had a bit of a play with it and it's clearly been a massive labour of love for someone. I haven't seen any that obscure the screen in play. It may or may not be original arcade artwork, I'm sure it varies from title to title. Those are preconfigured as 4:3 pillarboxed screens, with a scanline effect etc, and some sort of static graphic on either side. This easy setup doesn’t require any advanced Linux knowledge, and you can even use the. The other screenshots are once the games are actually loaded up to play. If you’re looking for a fun way to use an old PC, Lakka can turn it into an amazing retro gaming machine. Basically for every single game on the game select screen, there's a big 16:9 graphic with a little postcard-sized window that plays a video clip of the game.
The Q*Bert screenshot is from what I suppose you would call 'attract mode'. There are two different things going on there. Why are they obscuring some of the "screen" and why not just stick to the original arcade artwork? That looks pretty good, but those overlays are absolutely horrendous. I can't link to the files but have a look at this post.

You can play with bezels, without, full screen, windowed and about another 20 options - all of which are configured by running a specific batch file. And it's also setup to accommodate twin stick shooters like Smash TV. It also comes pre-configured to work with an xbox pad. To install, I unzipped all the files, clicked one batch file to set it up to show all games, then launched it. It runs on numerous emulators, displays videos and logos of most game, and much more. This includes arcade games, 2600, 7800, Intellivsion, Coleco, NES, SNES, GC, WII, N64, Master System, Game Gear, Megadrive, Dreamcast, Amiga, C64, Amstrad, Zx Spectrum, Pinball FX Tables, PSX, PS2, Sega Naomi, Cave shooters and more I've surely missed (oh, Dragons Lair and Space Ace). With some tinkering, you can add almost anything to it. I assume you can get just a pure front end version, but everyone I've seen so far comes with at least some roms. It is incredibly easy to set up and use - provided you've got the file structure in place once unzipped.
I know it was on the original Xbox but it's only recently that's it been released on PC.
