Re: Custom MaLa Layouts. Five for Two ! Please Read
« Reply #40 on: September 07, 2011, 07:16:03 am »
Just completed a few more custom layouts, with permission I'll post the designs for review.
As always custom layouts starting @ $20.
Each layout is fully customized and configured for you in MaLa.
All you need to do is install it and you are good to go.
I select the fonts, pick the colors for the games list, place and configure the snaps, marquees, etc.
I think most people who have purchased custom layouts from me will tell you they are BEYOND happy.

I also want to give back so here is my proposal.
If I can get five confirmed layouts in the next 72 hours I will create two layouts for the general community.
So if five customers come to me in the next 72 hours for skins once I have created the skins I will make two skins to share here and on the MaLa site.

Also to make it more attractive the two skins created for mass use will be voted on by the users of  this site.
Perhaps we can set up a poll and the two games  that win I will create the skins.
Be it Pac Man, Donkey Kong, whatever.

Thanks all

Been away for awhile and busy with other projects. (Proud to say my man cave has started)
However I'm getting back into the coin-op stuff again.
Thought I would bump this back up and let people know I am still doing custom layouts should anyone be interested.

Thanks all

Happy New Year !

I'm working (and near completed) a Mario Bros themed layout with custom "Now Loading" screen as well as a 5"x7" graphic instruction card.
I'm really happy with that.
It will be made available to all shortly.

Still doing custom layouts should anyone be interested.
Why not truly customize your cabinet from top to bottom.
A custom theme is an amazing way to go.
Most layouts still $20

Been a lil busy, but I will get these posted.

I'm happy to say I've been getting in some good computer time as of late.
My Mario layout is done (and available on the Mala site for free!).
I'm also ready to take on some projects should anyone be interested.

I have two PAC MAN commissions pending and anyone else interested in something custom let me know.
Usually I can do the work in about a day or so.

I wanna get some DGK Vanessa Veasley skateboards to hang in my basement, so all custom layouts go towards helping my "PIMP MY CRIB!" lol

Thanks all

Just wrapped up another commission.
A custom Multi PACMAN design.
Horizontal layout was produced in two sizes to meet the users requirement.
I've included the original sample (plain white boxes) and the revised design to better suit the customers needs.
Another happy customer !

The two layouts took me about a day to complete (and have in the buyers mailbox) and were $30.

Anyone else looking for something to truly complete his/her cabinet let me know.

Thanks all

  • Arcade!? - Never! - Really? - Yup!
Hi Mike - cool layouts. I'm just curious, is it possible for Mala to have a "please wait while the game loads" splash screen. If so - how? cheers
My art is always free for you to download and modify as you see fit...
Why?... because I could never find any art I loved on the net. So I played around with Photoshop and wish to share it with the arcade community.

  • Laser Death Ray Bargain Bin! Make me an offer!
Mala has a "Starting" image, It's generally opaque, but you can kind of simulate transparency by clipping a portion of your background image, putting your "Game loading" message on it, and then positioning it precisely in the same spot over the background.

That what I did with my layout.

Actually, the "Bottom corner pixel is the transparent color" thing probably works with that image too. Haven't checked to be sure.

MaLa (I can't recall where, but I know it does exist) has that option.
I know for my DK JR Mame I have a custom load screen, same for my Mario Mame.
I'll take a look when I get home and tell you the exact way to do it, off hand I don't recall.
I do know depending on PC speed you may or may not see it.
I did a custom MK layout  with a custom load screen, but the PC was so fast you dont even see the "now loading" screen.

If anyone wants a "now loading" screen with layout I'll do that...no extra charge!

Happy to say I was able to complete a custom layout for mebronx2000.
Lots of input and I think together we designed an awesome PAC MAN + MS. PAC MAN layout.
Clean design, bold colors, looks good.
I'll post the sample shortly.

I'm also working (and near completed) a Mario Bros themed layout with custom "Now Loading" screen as well as a 5"x7" graphic instruction card.
I'm really happy with that.
It will be made available to all shortly.

Still doing custom layouts should anyone be interested.
Why not truly customize your cabinet from top to bottom.
A custom theme is an amazing way to go.
Most layouts still $20
when did you do one for me ? i want one ! i like the pacman ms pacman one

Opps ! Sorry, perhaps it wasn't you.
I get mixed up sometimes, I apologize if it was not you.
Either way I do custom layouts starting @ $20.
Turn around is usually 3 (4) days.
They install like normal MaLa layouts and custom work I do not make available for anyone else.
I can do any resolution you need.

Again my bad, I thought it was you I did the custom Pac for, but I can always do "another" custom Pac.
I'll delete the post !

I've never sold this Pac Man layout to anyone, so if you do want it I can modify it to whatever size you need.
It is indeed a very layout.

Belfort revision.
I can also make the emulator names on the bottom scroll right to left.
But can't hi-lite them when selected.

Messed around with the spacing and added some detail into the background.
I think this layout looks awesome.
I also downloaded this font used by the UFC : http://www.dafont.com/sofachrome.font
This is the font I would use for the games list.

I think (despite the face kick) that is a good looking layout !
Regardless, if you find me an image that you like I'll work on something for you.

One question, would you like the above layout with simply the background switched ?

Working on some new projects that I'll be posting soon for people to look at.
Some cool stuff inspired by UFC and possibly a MK themed layout.
I've also been asked to create a really cool MAME inspired design that I'm hoping to knock outta the park !
Keep looking.

If anyone else is interested by all means PM or email me.
I can most layouts @ $25 with the revisions needed.
I include all fonts, PSD (if needed), and the mll file so all you do is install the layout and you are in business !
So far everyone who has purchased a custom design has been happy, 0 complaints !

I look forward to doing some more good work in the future.

Thanks all

Just completed a few new layouts that I will share shortly.
Worked on (and completed) a custom UFC inspired background !
A nice fighters inspired background, and lastly a NEO GEO inspired background.
All of which I think came out nice and 3 happy customers.

I'd love to get some more projects so by all means email me if you have any ideas, questions, etc.

I'd love to take on some MK, King of Fighters, and Final Fight inspired designs.

Thanks for posting that.
I haven't had much PC time as of late and I haven't shared my newest designs.
I've done some good work IMHO, I'd like to get it posted ASAP.

I'd also like to drum up some business to pay for some parts !
So if anyone wants anything lemme know, custom load screen, custom snap image and bezel image (to be used when no image is available). Lemme know what you want and I'll try my best to get it done in less than 1 week and for the $25 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, here are some examples of some newer work.
I've included revisions, as often a layout will evolve in the process with the feedback of the customer.
The Tatio themed layout is a custom layout I'm doing for a buddy.
You'll see a few different modifications. He LOVES it !

As always I'd love to help anyone out looking for something custom.



-- MAMEMANIA , this is for my custom all wrestling arcade project. The layout pictured is just a work in progress at this point.









-- The Tatio layout is for my buddies new project. It's been tweaked slightly adding the old & newer Tatio logo. It features are from Chase HQ & Operation Wolf.







-- Mala Fighters , this layout was created with all custom elements. The default snap and marquee image were custom designs. The layout itself sort of an homage to the fighter genre. This layout had quite a few revisions to get a final product the customer wanted. In the end another satisfied customer.

I'll be posting some Kustom Mortal Kombat designs shortly.
If time permits I also plan on doing a few new layouts inspired by my favorites, Narc, Shinobi & Final Fight to name three.
These I might make available for $10/15 and if they sell I'll be doing a Double Dragon layout made available to all on the Mala site.
I need to pay for some parts.................so layouts gotta sell !

Also to put it out there (you never know) I'd love to get my hands on the DGK Vanessa Veasley skateboards. Not sure if anyone is affiliated with a skateboard shop perhaps ? Can't find these in Canada. Like to work out a barter of sorts, artwork for the skateboards.

I've got a couple Final Fight, Double Dragon, Narc, and Shinobi designs done.
Also have a revised Neo Geo custom that I did for a customer.
I'll post them shortly.

All the pre-done designs will be for sale.
