Can Someone Please Help Make Me a Marquee?
« on: April 13, 2003, 08:43:54 pm »
Hi all!  I am new to posting on this board but I have been reading up on it for months.  I recently finished adding the necessary hardware to an  Neo Geo 6 slot to create a mame machine/Dance Dance Revolution Machine.  I would like to know if anyone on this board could create a DDR themed marquee to cover up the top Neo Geo marquee on my machine. The size of the marquee is 15"x9".  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks
-Keith

did you keep the neogeo 6 slot in there, or do you now have a neo geo pcb to trade for artwork  services? =P

The six slot is still in there.  I actually live with a group of my friends and they all own the cabinet.  I supplied all of the computer hardware to configure it with mame.  Im running windows 95 on an Arcadevga card and a jpac.  I was just looking to see if someone could bang a marquee out for me as i had seen people get custom cps done for them.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Something simple will do, but I have absolutely no artistic talent.  Thanks

Hi.  It is the top marquee. The neo geo's have a smaller Neo Geo marquee above the marquee that shows what games are in the system.  The smaller marquee is the one I wish to cover and it is indeed 15"x9".  I already have a mame marquee in the large spot, but I would like a ddr marquee to go along with my ddr pads.  Thanks

email Zakk at massive mame. He made mine for free and I printed it at Kinko's. Since he was doing me a favor I kept my request very simple......

good luck!
Seriously. Will it fit in my basement or what?

Zakk does stellar work, but I didn't know he did requests.  Maybe if you intentionally put together a really crappy looking one and email it to him, he will feel obligated to help you out.  ;)

j/k, but Zakk is a really helpful guy and has some very good premade marquees on his site for download that you might want to check out.

Nice work Frost..   ;D

thanks - though I'm a little stuck on delivery of the file to anyone.  The pdf is one thing(3.1MB), but the photoshop file is huge (50MB or so).

I can put it online if it's still wanted.  I can set up an FTP for you to upload it to, or it could be emailed to an account I can set up on the arcadecontrols.com site... Let me know :)

try zipping the Photoshop file...I turned a small 1.2 MB file  into an 11k zip! Admittedly, that is the best case scenario, but if you work with a lot of layers, and each layer only has a little bit of graphic on it, zipping will work wonders.
5 MAME cabs and counting...

Ever wonder what full side art looks like?
