Just completed another DK layout.
Wanted to post this pic.
I make sure I have the following options checked when I create a new layout.
I suggest my customers do the same.

Hi Mike, I enjoy seeing your work, and although I am making my own layout I just wanted to say thank you for the settings tip, I didn't even know those options where there.  still pretty new to this scene, and there are LOTS of settings in Mala.  Now I get to make a starting screen too!
My Projects:
MisSpent Youth a Vigolix bartop,  Little Bastard a rotating tablet/display bartop,
Pin-Dog a mini pin-cab on vpforums.org  Star Wars a wedgehead pincab on vpinball.com

The load screen is a cool option no doubt.
It lets a user know something is about to happen (or that the program is working).
Most people tend to really like it.

For me I like having my snaps fill the windows on my designs. So that is why I select the option I do.

Good luck with your layout.

@ jaharr01

Thank you for the repeat business.
I'm glad she likes it.
I truly do strive to put something out people enjoy looking at.
It was fun to work on this.

You picked (or she picked) a really cool color scheme.
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nintendo cabinets.
I like the fresh take you took on this.
I know over on KLOV they do not like people who make "unique" choices with Nintendo cabinets...but your project truly rocks.

For anyone interested in a layout I'm offering :

- a second background image
- a custom default snap image (for when no snap is available)
- a custom load screen


- price starts @ $35 depending on the complexity of the layout.


thank you

Still doing layouts should anyone be interested.
I may have to start charging deposit prior to starting work due to a recent incident.
Sorry guys.... but I really give these my all. Many hours go into creating these layouts.
I take great pride knowing that my layouts have found a home in some really cool projects.
A recent incident has left me with a %90 layout and a customer M.I.A .
Did he/she simply want to see my design ? Steal the design ? Get ideas ?
I don't know but I think it is kinda low ball to do that.
On an average layout I probably make $5 per hour of work.
It's rather upsetting.

vibefx@gmail.com for serious customers. Thank you all

Aww damn dude, really sorry to hear that. That's happened to me before, twice, and it really does suck. It's a huge waste of committed time, which IMO is like being stolen from, and all the creative investment made useless.
This is why I always demand 50% down for people I don't know. At least you can get some sort of compensation for your efforts, and not feel completely burnt.

Hope the next one goes better.

I make the mistake sometimes by operating like everyone was like myself.
Like we all follow the same code................we don't!
I've met some AWESOME people in this hobby. And I received INVALUABLE help in this hobby.
My Punch-Out bartop project would be an example of such. I have PHENOMENAL artwork for that project thanks to the generous nature of forum members here.
When I do my work (which might not be the best out here, but it is good, and the price fair) I truly take pride knowing (thinking) that I am making these projects better (If even in the slightest way). And I realize that people don't know me, or know that I may or may not be a stand up guy. So when I do my work I tell EVERY customer pay me when it is done, and I often provide a video on the layout in use on my PC as proof. Payment comes and they get the zip.
One time.....ONE TIME...........a customer got his product, said he didn't get it, opened a case with PayPal, I won the case.
That forced me to ask of my customers that they send the money as gift, after all your only paying once complete, and this protects me. One bad apple spoiled the lot! I won't post names or call someone out on the site, it isn't my style, and I think that hurts me more than it helps me.
I will just express that it is upsetting that people don't value my time as much as I value the work they are doing and the project they are creating.
Kinda sh!ty when someone does that over $25-40.

Well guys 12 days and the buyer for my layout didn't respond.
I asked if he was not interested to please have the decency to let me know, he did not do me the courtesy.
I'm sorry for those of you who think this makes me look bad, but I'd like to warn you all about ruva (ruva@ruva.net).
Complete time waster.

Doesn't make you look bad at all. These time-wasters need to be called out, to protect the rest of us.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Welcome to the blacklist, ruva (ruva@ruva.net).  :angry:

I just want to provide an update and vent if I may.
I'd like to just say as noted that ruva@ruva.net is a complete time waster.
BEWARE of ruva@ruva.net

I have sent 2 or 3 emails following up, indicating the work is done, he simply does not reply. I spent so much time making these layout I am truly upset.

I asked that as a man (who is proteced behind a computer and keyboard) he simply let me know he did not want the work. That was too much to ask it seems.

On a go forward I will need to charge 50% upfront when doing layouts. My track record speaks for itself. I am an honest person and again I say sorry, however I was truly burned on this deal.

Hate to say it but one reason you might be running into that type of problem is you're charging too little -- Figure if you are actually spending that many hours working on the layout - you probably need to charge more and do fewer jobs. Unfortunately when you under price your work that also tends to bring in the clients that do not respect what you are doing and tend to take advantage - Figure if you do not value your work, how can you expect the customer to ? :dunno

Perhaps you should double your asking price and require 50% upfront ( that way you get the full payment that you are currently charging up front and have an agreement for another payment when delivered ( Then if the job goes well and quickly you can always tell the customer since they were easy to work with and the time commitment was less than originally planned on they are already paid up or only owe a smaller second portion - and if the customer is harder to handle and needs more time commited, you get them to pay the second payment on completion and are compensated for the harder work that that customer was.) -- SO the easy to work with customers are happy when they only pay half what they thought they would be and you get paid more by the hard to deal with customers that require more of your time and effort. And if a customer bails in the middle you still got paid for the job.  :cheers:

I do these layouts cause I truly enjoy doing them.
And all the money I get I tend to put back into the hobby.
Even if I were to value my time @ $5 per hour I'd still take a loss doing these layouts.
But that doesn't/didn't matter to me.
I've had many great customers.

I wish I could say I have more customers, but obviously this is a niche market.

I really like the idea of thinking I'm making a project complete, and making something special for a customer. I guess in the end I do this cause I truly enjoy it. In this instance one F**KER really stuck it to me............and it pi$$e$ me off!

He did not ask that I spent XX many hours on  the layout, I did it because I wanted to make something great.
I actually want to release the layout to everyone, but it pains me he may get it and use it.

In the end I may have to charge $10 more per layout, but I think the %50 upfront is sufficient for now.

I think this thread (and I thank you all) speaks to the quality of my work and my integrity as a man.
I think people can truly see I do this because I enjoy it and I am not going to rip anyone off.

There is not one negative comment about me...........so again I thank all of you.

Also again in a non related thread I thank you JDFan for your help with my Punch-Out! (my delayed Punch-Out!)

Had the chance the other day to tackle another custom layout.
This one was a poker themed layout and the customer had some really cool existing artwork.
I had fun working on this, and loved seeing the pics of the layout in use on the cabinet.
I'll get a sample up if ok with the customer.

Still at these (despite RUVA that flake!!!!!).............................

Deposit is required, but I strive to provide a quality, HONEST, fast service.

Thank you all

Hoping to have some new samples posted soon.
Been doing some stuff for my machines just for fun.
As always I wanted to push my services, vibefx@gmail.com for anyone looking.
As mentioned prior I do require 50% deposit.
Most layouts I can wrap up in 72 hours.

I require :

size
orientation
theme
what you'd like to see : snap, video, marquee, etc

Most layouts come in about $30/35 with a load screen.

Thank you

For anyone interested I'm still doing MaLa layouts.
Everyone has been great about the deposit, and I thank you all for understanding.
Depending on what is going on any given week, the layout could take a day....it could take a week! But I do strive to make sure every customer LOVES the final product.
I've worked on a Poker themed layout which I think came out really cool looking.
I just finished  working on a Street Fighter 3rd Strike layout.
I'm also working on another DONPACHI layout. This layout is coming out very cool IMHO. It has some cool layering for the snap with a giant ship placed overtop part of the window. When I get response from the customers  I will post the samples here.

Anyone elese interested please email me : vibefx@gmail.com

Promotion time!
Anyone here setting up a PC for use with MaLa and multiple emulators ?
Looking to have specific layouts for your Nintendo, Neo Geo, Turbo GRFX, Sega, MAME, etc, etc, etc ?
I love these projects !!!!!
For the next little while I can offer 3 layouts for $75 with a 4th layout FREE!
The catch.....the 4th layout I'll make available for all to download.
You (the customer) tell me what you want to see, characters to use, colors, etc.
But of your 4 layouts you let me know which one you'd like to have posted here & on the MaLa site for download. The layout however will be custom to your resolution.
Catch # 2 ...... The layouts will all be built over the same template. So the windows (gameslist, snap, video) would remain in the same position, and the font would remain the same also. I'll include a load screen to be used with all 4 layouts.
Should this interest you please feel free to email me with questions, etc.

Mike at vibefx@gmail.com

Thank you

Dear bunch of new visitors who might think that there is something wrong with Rick's company-

I was joking. There is nothing wrong with Rick's company. I have enough faith in you that you would know I was just kidding , but I thought I should make it clear just in case some of you are fooled by my words said in jest.

Sincerely,

No lie.  I've always wanted a fro.

On topic:

Success in business requires adapting.  Don't apologize for changing there isn't an abundance of competition for mala layouts that I see.

Have you considered branching out into other custom art like marquees?

As a bald dude I'd love ANY hair. Fro, comb over, whatever!
All jokes aside I have to say I'm stoked to work on my next project.
NBA JAM layout.............so cool!

I have one customer lined up for a 4 layout bundle. This will be fun.

With that said I can indeed do other stuff, marquee, bezel, whatever.
I just find that with a kid, wife, work, life, etc time to create original art is ....well...I do not have it.
But taking art that is readily available and putting it together in a way it looks good is easy.

I can know out a layout rather quickly for a customer. I'd love to do more, and people can by all means PM me for more info. But to be honest you have some dudes (or girls) on here that are AWESOME!
They blow me out of the water........I can not even compete !

I'm in process of rebulding my two naomi cabinets and i was in need of decent layout so i have opted MikeB for two of them and he has done awesome job.Really profesional and quick also with several concepts free of charge. I will post pics when my work on naomi is done so you can all see what mike can do in no time.

I can recomend the service for those who hesitate till now it's really worth it. You can see your own idea on the layout for low price.Thumbs up

Thanks mike

Big thank you to wmanst.

I ended up doing a total of 4 layouts for him.
The Raiden Fighters is actaully one of my favorite.
The other included a NEW NEO GEO. (as the old Neo Geo layout I had for sale is missing.....IE I could not find the file!)
In order to provide proper customer service I created a new custom Neo Geo layout which I think came out quite well.
A Street Fighter 3rd Strike layout, and a Don Pachi rounded out the quartet.

I've also just completed a NBA JAM (which I LOVE!), NES, SNES, and SEGA 4 pack of layouts for a customer.
This was a combo purchase as per the above promo in this thread. I actually ended up doing 2 revisions of all the console layouts for him. All of which playing with different layering. I'll include them all with the purchase.
The buyer can let me know which layout (and which version) he would like to share.

I have one more pending project.... but again, as always should anyone be looking for anything let me know.
