Title: My new Mame Project
Post by: fgarvin on April 25, 2008, 09:13:47 am: My new Mame Project...

With lots of help from Taz http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=75940.0

I loved his design and I am going to mix that with Knievel Neon Mame look.

So it's the same old NEW design.

Thanks Taz!!!!

Post by: fgarvin on May 08, 2008, 11:07:25 am: The Black around the marquee is my mistake... There is nothing there... That is the same sheet the graphics is print on... It looks like an overlay, but it's just part of the marquee I ordered. Do you like it? I was going to redo my image to make it bigger without the black border and get it reprinted.

ivwshane,

To be honest, I'm torn between liking it and not liking it. It looks clean the way it is now but it would be more arcade like if it was the whole thing. Honestly either way is ok.
Do you have a shot where both the marquee and the monitors is lit?
