LCD display for marquee, anyone ever done that?

Oh, duh, I thought you were talking two sources to the LCD.  That actually wouldn't work with most LCDs anyway.

Randy is just trying to throw us off the trail. He is secretly working on the MarqueeWiz (tm), which is a high resolution LCD screen, to the exact measurements of a standard marquee size. The only delay is getting the MarqueeWiz (tm) software to automatically display the game image you are playing at the moment.

Hah!  I can't even imagine how much  the tooling for something like that would cost.  It makes my head hurt just thinking about all of the elements that would be required to pull that one off  :dizzy:

I guess I'll need to start looking for investors  ;D

you could always just use two monitors like Punch Out or Play Choice 10... and make the upper monitor display artwork when its not being used for the actually game..  I dunno...  I have another idea for using Ps1 LCDs but then the marquee would have to be recessed in the same way mirror monitors are. (Lethal Enforcers, T2, X-Men)

Just re-design the cabinet. Mappy had basically an extended marquee piece. And  there are other, more recent games like this, too.
