Title: Preparing my cab for HS 2.0 - dynamic marquee
Post by: ntk on March 20, 2011, 08:29:46 pm: Still have not finished building my cabinet, but it's already ready for HS 2.0! I added a 27" screen and now I have 3 monitors in the cab, main screen 29" CRT, touch screen 7" in the CP, and now also 27" screen for the marquee, I think it looks realy awesome

the little stripe of light above the marquee will disappear after I will change the screen resolution

Preparing my arcade machine for HS 2.0 added a 27" screen for dynamic marquee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUEfhnFctMs#)

*Sorry for the bad quality, maybe I'll upload new video soon with better quality

what do you think ?

Post by: VanillaGorilla on March 22, 2011, 06:52:49 pm: So if I understand what I'm seeing; Ths is a 27" 16:10 aspect ratio lcd that is divided by a strip of something to make it appear to be a marquee and a led scroller? It comes off better than I would imagine! I'd like to see some more detail, including measurements of the display areas....cool idea, i know RandyT did something like this a while back....I've failed to keep up on future development for hyperspin, what is planned for 2.0?

Post by: ntk on March 22, 2011, 07:22:11 pm: this is 27" 16:9 screen and betabrite prism hide the top part of the screen HS already support betabrite but HS 2 will support dynamic marquee, i hope i will have better camera this week so i can upload high res image so you can see it better

watch this video upload by BBB the creator of HS ( the best FE )

It looks pretty sweet. Then you would only have to drive 2 monitors, and you could do something else with the betabrite

i saw randy video but i think it's look way better with the betabrite show the company, year, etc instead of display now playing ( BBB said you can make an overlay on top so you can do something like randy did with HS ) you can read more here
