Howdy Mr. Do!

Yes, it's more than OK if you incorporate this art into the official packs--it's actually what I was *hoping* for!  :]  Credit would be great, thanks.  But I mainly just wanted to share my grunt work with others, to help fill in artwork gaps.

I'm currently plowing through control panels.  In a coupole of weeks, I'll have a zip archive of as many control panel images as I can create from cabinet and/or flyer images.

After that, I can dig in to your extra set.  Please clarify what you're looking for.  That is, are you referring to cabinet pics from which you'd like me to extract a decent marquee & control panel pic?


Thanks,
-Jason

I have a bunch of pics (cabinets, marquees, and control panels), that simply need to be cropped out for future pack inclusion.

Looking forward to the next set.  Let me know when I can get these to you.

Sounds good.  I just finished amassing 141 control panel files to work on.

Some are perfect as-is (I simply didn't have them in my set), some need simple cropping, but most need cropping & unskewing (and some color/contrast/brightness/etc work too).

I ought be ready to work on your files in about 1 week.

Thanks,

OK, I went through the control panels & found 136 that I didn't have (compared against what MAWS has).

About a dozen cpanel images were there & ready for the taking.  The other 124ish, I generated from cabinet or flyer images that I found.  Boy, getting clean panel images is much more work than marquee images!

I generally made all images 300 pixels wide & saved all in .png format.  On most of the images, I painted the background "transparent" too.

As before, some are laughably pixellated, while some look great.  It depends on the size & resolution of the image with which I started.

I also cleaned up a couple of panel images that I found & duplicated a few here & there that apply to more games (like a couple of the Golden Tee panels & I assigned a Star Wars panel to Tomcat).

So, enjoy these & feel free to copy all that you want to augment your current cpanel art archive for your FE.  It's in http://infernolab.com/forsale/vids/ along with the other graphics files I did recently.



So, Mr. Do!, I'm ready to work on your documents.  Let me know how you want to proceed.

Thanks,

Oh I forgot to mention.  On my cab, I prefer to use the US romsets wherever possible, because I live in the US & all of my youth's gaming was in the US.  So, I like to see the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen & the other minute differences on the US releases vs. others.

So, many of my ROMs, and therefore the associated graphics discussed in this thread, are the US children of another parent ROM that I'm not using.  So, keep that in mind, if you come across the graphics files that end in "u" but you use the parent ROM on your machine & do some file renaming as you see fit.

Thanks,
-Jason
