| LCD display for marquee, anyone ever done that? |

What if one were to integrate a small LCD into a larger marquee design, like on one side? It would take a pretty clever design, but if you got the colors and integration right, it could work well. Maybe the marquee theme could be a generic "arcade classics" kind of thing... and then the LCD area would be used for more specific artwork from the original cabinets. |

I'm sure some of you coders out there can bang something to gether pretty quickly. --- End quote --- Dude... This is the 21st century. Go build a Steam Punk cab if you want to do that. |

A big "Now Playing" Neo-Geo style Marquee (with the LCD as the mini-marquee). Going to try to make sure I can use the touch screen if I do it that way. |

I'd say a more realistic use at this point would be a small one next to or embedded in the CP that displays relevant info as a game loads... control scheme, hi scores, etc. |

Sometimes you have to think outside the CP... ;) |
