Arduinos can be setup as a serial device via one of the templates and mamehooker can send serial commands as well as do a series of commands via a script. All that's needed is a piece of middleware to size down images to the appropriate resolution, read each pixel color and write a script to change each pixel. Sounds a lot more complicated then it is.
As I mentioned earlier, the real stumbling block is the lack of content. Some marquees scale well as-is and some don't.

I always forget about mamehooker because I've never had an opportunity to do something with it. Issuing serial commands to an arduino sounded trickier in my head before that. Sending a raw RGB array over serial doesn't sound so bad when you put it that way.

What about using a micro projector in the cabinet aimed at a piece of semi-transparent material on the marquee? It just looks like another monitor to your Computer.

Griff-richer did it with leotards... Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should...
