Maximus arcade font
« on: August 04, 2010, 01:37:13 am »
Does anyone know what the font is in the MA game menus? Or at least something close? I want to make a marquee to match it for a little unity.
Thanks

The font Maximus Arcade uses is called "alba matter" and can be found here:

Awesome! Thanks a ton. Your Acidus theme is perfect for my green-trimmed cabinet by the way. I'll post pics as soon as I get my marquee printed.

Glad I could help.  The Acidus theme also fits my Green Invader cab that I made.  :-)

Can't wait to see yours.

oh sorry , forgot to add this , i was going to start a new topic but no point really.

its just a question on the topic of fonts and lettering :

when im in the theme editor and i want to change the likes of the emulator information , eg - mame multiple arcade machine emulator ( under smash bros screen ) ,
can i change that lettering to read whatever i like ?  
i.e - is there a way to change it within MA editor or do i have to use a photo editor to write out the font and then add it as a pic later with CTRL + i ?

hope im making sense or explained that correctly, hehe :)

also , on one of my emulator screens in the MA theme editor , there is no emulator information / title .
there is only the left and right arrow , and the image for the emulator ( fyi , its the msx 1.0 emulator screen ) .

how do i add a title to an emulator screen ?
i tried clicking on the " define image " section , and choosing " mame.sfo " but the bloody image shows up in ALL of the emulator screens  :cry:

if i could get this sorted out my theme would be complete  ;)

( EDITED )
well, i went in to ma again and fiddled around with it some more.
looks like no matter what i do , i cant add a title to msx 1.0 or 2.0 . mameseer has it done in such a way that the title and the picture sprite
are the same file . i'll have to choose other emulator slots to set up my 3 versions of mame in , like the atari 2600 slot or something that has a title screen.
its no biggy anyways , i can still sort out this theme :)
