This sucks beyond belief. :angry: I have always bought artwork from them and they had a great collection. They also did a great job printing everything.

Yea. This sucks for me, I was just about to order an oddball marquee in a custom size... Sky Soliders.
They will now sell you the files on DVD and you have to get them printed  yourself. I've heard as much bad as good about this place, but they were offering something nobody else was doing.

This blows big time as my Kinko's won't print that type of artwork because of copyright infringement.
There are three kinds of people in the world those that can count and those that can't.

Just follow the order links and you will see that if you order a marquee you get a DVD with the files on it and you have to go print it yourself.

Eh, after the quality of the marquee I got from them I wasn't going to order from them again anyways.

So they're not even offering a service anymore. The only thing left is copyright infringement.

As far as anybody I've spoken to can tell, the only thing they do as a business is infringe on the original copyright holders rights here.

The quality of stuff I bought from them when they were printing was extremely poor. Low quality prints with colours that were way off.

They were also selling their entire graphics collection on multiple DVD's a while a ago at a ridiculously high price. I think it was somewhere in excess of $20,000 USD a set. That obviously didn't sell so now they're trying a different tactic.

There isn't much they sell as files now that isn't available from other sources free of charge.

I would highly recommend Scott at www.mamemarquees.com for the printing.  Very nice quality stuff.  You can FTP him the file and he is usually quick in his turn around time.

My last control panel came from ClassicArcadeGraffix and I wasn't happy with it overall. It came poorly shipped and they took a couple weeks to send me another one - which was also poorly shipped. I was able to cut off the bad section though. I didn't order from there again.

Thirded, I'm really please with the quality of his prints, unlike CAG. I've done both.

I like m.m's work to. I just wish they had a larger selection. The other thing is that I don't like the dull finish on there sideart. I preferred the glossy finish that c.a.g. used.

I was just going to order the Sky Soldiers marquee I needed on disc and have it printed locally, and it appears you can't even do that right now.

I looked at the MAME marquees site, but its all just stuff that says MAME on it.  :P

Another plug for Scott / Mamemarquees.com.  He has printed everything for all my projects and the finished product is top notch.
