Title: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: More Cowbell on October 06, 2006, 01:01:37 pm: I need a Berzerk Bezel for the cabinet that I am refurbishing.
1) Does anyone have one that they are willing to part with?
2) Does anyone have a high res image of it?
2a) Can Kinko's print something like this on cardboard or some kind of thick paper at that large of a size? How high of resolution would I need for it to come out decent?

Yes I have it, well actually the MAME Artwork Project has it. It currently hasnt been scanned yet.

Contact Mr Do! on the MAMEWORLD forums and ask if he can put it at the front of the queue?

First of all, please feel free to post on the MAME Artwork Forum to check whats going on.

I currently have a SCAN of the Bezerk Bezel (Please see attached)

You will notice the quality is very poor due to the bezels age.

I am currently cleaning it....I'll post under neath my current WIP.

What I'm doing is cleaning and restoring the raster scan at teh moment as teh bezel has tons of damage all over it, although from my WIP images you probably cant see it...but beleive me its there alright!

Once complete, Zorg wants to Vectorise it and at that point it will be posted on AAL.

Just be as patient as possibel with this one, unless of course a better bezel comes along that doesnt need as much work on it.

I'd be happy to help, but don't have a scanner.

Any suggestions?

Where are you? If its possible to send it to Mr Do! or Aaron Giles for scanning that would be the best solution.

Unless you know someone that has a photo quality scanner or perhaps even a local print shop that has facilities to scan large objects...

I'm juggling lots of bezels at the moment for the MAME Artwork Project. Midway's Space Invaders and Ms Pac-Man were the MAJOR titles, then worked on Armour Attack, Shark Attack, Kosmik Krooz'r, Carnival, Robby Roto and I'm still working on Mouse Trap and of course the Berzerk Bezel! Phew!

I'll get back to it fairly soon......and I'll post an update.

MC,

Work has stopped as Mr Do! says he has found a far far better source for the Berzerk bezel. Mr Do! Ya could of done that ages ago ! wink wink! ;D

LOL!

Anyway, thats why I have stopped currently.....

Mr Do! BTW has a PC problem in the sense his PC died on him.....he's currently rebuilding a NEW one.....so I wont get the NEW scan until that happeens.

if I can get the orginal full size scan I can prepare a layout so I could do a screenprinted run on plex this clean up version for mame is too small to work with.
Game oN!

Understandable, Ad_Enuff. Real life gets in the way of our gaming fun all too often. No disappointment here, just anticipation. Without guys like you taking the lead to get stuff done, no stuff would get done. Thanks for your hard work! :cheers:
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions

Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: narf on April 11, 2007, 10:31:50 am: hey im a OZ noobie and this is my first post on here but i have been lurking but never joined

ive actually got 3 of these bezels (2 used and 1 practically NOS) i bought a cab of a guy and he chucked em in for me to chop down to fit it but i couldnt bear to cut down some cool looking artwork the owner thought they were generic. He had them sitting for years on the floor of his shed along with heaps of others and 7 new space invaders bezels all with the paper on the back never been used (taito ones)

was wondering how much are these worth and do you have the dimesions of the size you need i may be able to assist
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: More Cowbell on April 11, 2007, 10:51:40 am: Hey Narf,
Do you have any pics? I can measure tonight but I'm guessing if they are from Berzerk cabs they will be the right size. Are they glass or plexi? Not sure what they're worth on the open market (especially in OZ as I am in the US) but I would be willing to pay up to $75 shipped for the nice one.
Thanks for the response.
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: narf on April 11, 2007, 11:22:31 am: hey ive got 2 in plexi and a smaller one in glass i guess only difference being that these are a LIA branded (lesuire industries australia) on em ill take some pics asap
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: More Cowbell on April 13, 2007, 10:50:26 am: Hey Narf, my bezel area measures 23" wide by 20" high. Do any of your bezels match that closely?

It's not being busy that's the problem; it's that the person that's 98% done with it hasn't had a working computer for a few months. Once that gets resolved, we'll be back on track.

Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: sacolton on March 12, 2008, 02:11:20 pm: I remember that bezel because I made one. Many many many years ago I scanned my
original Berzerk bezel and cleaned it up for the MAME team and then submitted a high
resolution version later. I also did the Venture bezel too. I'll have to look through my
archive and see if I have the original scan. Nice to see there is still an interest in the
restoration and development of Berzerk.

Post by: Luigi on April 08, 2008, 04:33:19 am: Since there is really bad chance to get a Berzerk cab here in Germany I'd like to turn a generic cab into a Berzerk. At localarcade is the cpo and the sideart.

What's missing is the bezel and marquee and they have to be modified for the size fo the generic cab.....would be great if the bezel work would be finished :notworthy: :cheers: :applaud:

So any chance you still have the scan, or the or the high-res version? What's holding it up right now is both scans I have are pretty rough.

Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions

If he wanted to, he would have given it to me by now.

If "sacolton" can find his scan, that will probably work out, as his looks a lot better.
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: Luigi on July 22, 2008, 02:06:39 pm: Sacolton can't find his scan anymore...he will have to do a rescan in a shop and he wanted to see how much it costs.

Ad_enuff did a good job so far, it would be stupid if one had to do all that work again :(
Title: Re: Berzerk Bezel Questions
Post by: Ad_Enuff on October 13, 2008, 05:19:21 pm: The bezel is complete and fully restored to its former glory!

Obviously the attached picture is only a small version and thumbnail of sorts. The one that will be added to MAME Artwork Project will be 4000 pixels wide with a resolution of 300dpi which is suitable for printing. However the scan I have at home in Photoshop still is even bigger, being 6000 pixels or something in that region.
