Title: Need all MAME marquee files for Front End. Placeholder images are cool.
Post by: blkdog7 on April 17, 2009, 07:00:09 pm

I am trying to make a complete set of marquee art files for my frontend. The collections available everywhere only have 1500 or so marquees. If some of the marquees don't exists, that's cool. What about a collection that has placeholders for all the missing files? Just generic marquees? You know what I mean. I could do it myself but I'd have to duplicate and rename the same file about 5,000 times.  If there is a collection with all of the names and the missing ones have placeholders it would be perfect. Anyone know of a collection like this?

Or, better yet... Can I tell MALA to use a default image if the marquee art is not present???

Yes you can... I just can't remember how it was done.  I use the following authentic generic "NEW GAME" marquee in my cabs...

IIRC...
1) In Mala Layout double-click the Marquee box (the placeholder) and select your default image.
2) ...
3) Profit.
