Since all the cool kids are making packs and my fe depends upon them, I've taken it upon myself to try to update the "official" packs a little.
Note that this is an add-on and you still need to download the 13 or so official packs here (http://emam.mameworld.net/).
I will post marquees as I build up enough. Currently I am making them in 30 meg packs and here is the first (the old .102 pack plus around 30 extras).
Unofficial MARQUEE14 (http://www.filefactory.com/?dc6684)
NeoGeo Add-Ons:
Dedicated Marquees (http://www.filefactory.com/?eef3ab) (Some neogeo games were popular enough to have more than just a mini marquee and some later games were also available in pcb form.)
Now Featuring Minis (http://www.filefactory.com/?e535f0)(Mini marquees at low res inside the larger "now featuring" mvs marquee.)
Minis (http://404.html)(Mini marquees by themselves at hi-res. Not ready yet.)
Note: From now on the neogeo images will be handeled seperately. The neogeo packs above contain images for every single neogeo game except Vliner (used a dedicated slot machine cab), the bootlegs and a few random Korean releases. This adds approximately 50 new neogeo marquees from the official 13 packs. There are far more dedicated marquees than I posted, so if you have em, send em. Also a pic of a Vliner machine would be nice.
If you have any marquees that aren't in this pack or the official ones, please contact me.
NIVO, Please delete the rest of this thread as I'm trying to clear the clutter. Thanks

Oh I didn't think about it, but maybe this thread needs stickied?
-
stickied for your perverted pleasures :D
-
Well now I have to go take a shower (again). Thanks you sick freak!
-
Added a link to the official packs above, since it might be unknown to some people.
-
Just wondering what exactly this "update" includes that's different from the "official" download?
-
The official packs haven't been updated in over 2 years. Howard's stuff is trying to get any new marquee's that have surfaced over the last few years.
-
Ah thanks, I should have waited and saved everyones resources.
I'm not a Pokemon collector... I don't "gotta get every one!"
Thanks for doing it, I just don't need any of them. Heck, I don't even need 2/3rds of the "original" ones. I AM glad the ones I do need are available though.
-
There are approximately 260 new marquees. Some of which are to games that were in mame as early as .36, but at the time of the last official pack update, these images weren't available.
So although many of them you don't need, some of them you do. ;D
And don't worry about resources, NIVO tipped me off to a free file hosting service. The only hitch is that if the file isn't downloaded at least once every 15 days it gets removed. So if anything, downloading the file an extra time helps things. :police:
-
Now, if we can JUST find Funny Bubble...
-
how timely...I'm trying to clean up the arcade before all the family comes in for the holidays (downloading the preview videos, updating my front end, etc.) and just got to the "update marquees' part and found this thread. Thanks for the work on this!
-
FYI, the links on the 'official' packs are dead.
-
Howard,
Just an FYI. I keep my "mame extra" updated via the torrent at petrifieds site. The following marquees that you have in your set are already in the torrent set.

Again, just an FYI,
John
-
as that torrent set isn't official, I promptly ignore it. :)
However if you find images in the torrent that are NOT in my pack then please let me know. :)
-
Howard,
I'm not sure I understand, although it was a simple request. Have you looked at the torrent? There are 1276 marquees in the .102 Extras torrent. If I recall correctly, without double checking, this is way more than in your pack.
Maybe I'm Wrong,
John
-
What I'm saying is these torrents are badly documented and have no rhyme nor reason to them. So it's hard to expect end-users to use those. The fact that my pack has some of their images is a good thing.
However, if it were the other way around, they need added to this pack because this one will be regularly updated.
Well yes, there are more images in that torrent becuase it includes the 14 official marquee packs. Mine doesn't because you can download them seperately and they are the official packs so there isn't any confusion involved. Read the doc that came with my pack.
-
And to further confuse issues there is also my very rare integrated marquee packs which contain marquees for 2107 games (everything other than Mahjong and quiz, up to a certain, now forgotten mame version). But my packs contain hundreds of fake marquees, and are not currently hosted anywhere, at least not to my knowledge.
-
True... and I have many of your marquees still on my system..... upon the next update I need to get ahold of a dat and purge those entries and finally make a dat of both your additions and mine. Once I get a chance this stuff needs to be organized. ;)
-

Behold: Paige's Unofficial Marquee Packs (http://www.joymonkey.com/modules.php?name=UpDownload&req=viewdownload&cid=2)
-
Let me know when a marqueeExtended pack is finally created with Howard's and Paige's stuff together ...... I will add them to the 12 or 13 marquee packs i currently have ... which you might be calling "the official packs"
-
Paiges stuff won't be added, rather filtered out so that I can get a better understanding of what marquees are missing.
You see paige drew several of his marquees in photoshop from scratch
because they couldn't be found. That's why his are "unofficial"
-
Once I get a chance this stuff needs to be organized. ;)
Do you know what exactly is in the "Full Extras Torrent" that is floating around, as far as marguees AND snaps? Does it contain Nivo's screenies?
John
-
Nope don't know and don't really care.....
On the marquee end they keep packaging up the original 13 official packs.
On teh snaps are generally mame32q&a or twisty's.
-
Mirror up!
I couldn't access www.filefactory at work, so with Howard's permission, I am now making the marquees available at my site. (I had to split them into two files due to 20Meg single file limitation.).
My site is bandwidth limited, so use www.filefactory.com if you can, but if you can't, you can get the files here also:

-
A few more marquees are on the way, I just have to get the time to compile them. Mostly neogeo updates.
-
Thanks for hosting the marquees Tiger!
-
Thanks for hosting the marquees Tiger!
So you're the one who used 6% of the bandwidth :laugh2:
Just kidding - Glad I could help out!!! :cheers:
-
Anyone know if the 13 official packs are still online somewhere to download?
Cheers
-
It will be hard to find them just to download online. Go to [romsite link redacted] and they have a full extras pack there which should come with all the artwork, including marquees. Just use a bittorrent program that lets you chose what folders to download, and you should have your marquees!
-
Nevermind, found them here:

I'm super busy right now, but one of my goals is to get the pack back in shape.
I've collected a few dozen more images and have also collected the full set of neoge marquees, both in the full form and mini form.
The marquee pack will be re-structured though. I intend to rename it to pack #14. Until the pack reaches 15 megs I'll just re-package it every once in a while, then I'll start on #15 and the process will start all over again. .102 isn't an accurate name as there are marquees from other versions in there too.
Also two neogeo packs will be available as a supplement. This is because there are two styles of neogeo marquee.
It'll be a while, but be patient.
-
delete all but first post, thanks
-
Howard,
All of the links are dead, are these files hosted anywhere else?
-
Yes, mr do has them mirrored now
-
Are these still available anywhere? If not I have a few 20mb accounts on DS3's with no limit from my ISP. I could just create the account and give you the password. Since I have 10 total accounts I have no need for all of them.
Yes, mr do has them mirrored now
-
Well I mean you could, but like I said they are on mr. do's page and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I probably just need to update the first entry of this thread.
-
do you know where i can get a full set of snapshots from i found some yesterday but the rar file was corrupt and i cant remember the link ???
