I'd like to convert it to a MAME Arcade ........

It was on E-BAY for $75 so I emailed the person and offered $50. We ended up agreeing on $60 with the understanding that the monitor did not work. I get the game home and open up the back (Had to pick the lock-no key included) and GUESS WHAT.........

The power cord was disconnected..........Reconnected it and pluged it in WORKS FINE ! ! ! ! !

WHAT A STEAL ! !

Bobby115 · « **Reply #3 on:** September 07, 2003, 10:46:23 pm »

FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL.....MUCH more then SOCCER :-) LOL

The game is pretty good when you have 4 players, but would rather make it a MAME

Look at emdkay's Side Art section. I'm pretty sure he uses the same paper for Marquees and side art. It's 27.50 to have a single done in any size up to 23 X 35. Email him he's a great guy.

You could always created one and have kinko's and the like print it out. I could whip one up for if you don't have the means to make one

3dmacman · « **Reply #8 on:** September 09, 2003, 11:57:46 am »

Let me know what you think of these.

3dmacman · « **Reply #9 on:** September 09, 2003, 12:05:41 pm »

And this one.

3dmacman · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2003, 12:06:08 pm »

Bobby115 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 09, 2003, 12:19:33 pm »

3dmacman · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2003, 01:16:31 pm »

Cool! what name do you want on it? Do you want me to e-mail the files to you?

Bobby115 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2003, 01:30:39 pm »

I'd like to get my NAME into it somewhere if possible.......If you dont mind sending those files over my e-mail is bobby115@aol.com

Bobby

Bobby115 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2003, 01:34:25 pm »

What would I need to do....goto Kinkos's or something?

3dmacman · « **Reply #15 on:** September 09, 2003, 01:43:21 pm »

Try kinko's and any quick print places if they can print large format. Be sure to use glossy paper. Do you want bobby115 or just bobby on it? I'll post a proof so you know what you are getting

Bobby115 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2003, 01:54:04 pm »

Bobby's

or BOBBY'S

Whatever you think works best

Thanks again

3dmacman · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:10:00 pm »

Here's your proof. Let me know what kind of file requirements you need in the future. Talk to the emkady guy about printing a custom size marquee/sideart. He might quote you a better price than kinko's. Just an idea!

Bobby115 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:16:19 pm »

That looks AWSOME.........One last thing......If its hard then dont ever worry about it........

Maybe a colored outline around the text??

If its alot dont worry looks awsome now as well

Thanks

3dmacman · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:20:27 pm »

There is a light blue color around the text right now, what other color do you have in mind? And there is a light blue outer glow around bobby and multiple etc.

Bobby115 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:22:50 pm »

Maybe Yellow?? If not then what we have looks good

3dmacman · « **Reply #21 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:30:49 pm »

I think the yellow makes it pop out more.

Bobby115 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:34:49 pm »

PERFECT ! ! ! !

YOU ARE THE MAN !!

3dmacman · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2003, 02:57:10 pm »

You've got mail.

Warning it is a bit big , 3megs zipped. But it is 12 megs unzipped. It is in eps format ready to print. Good luck!

Bobby115 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 09, 2003, 03:00:37 pm »

Thanks alot buddy for all the help......What do I do just bring it to kinkos or minutemanpress and give them the file?? Do I need to tell them what file formate it is or anything?

Also when they print it big it will not lose its clarity right?

Bobby115 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2003, 03:18:34 pm »

Did you send that file yet?? I didnt get it.......I will let you know if it comes through

Just give them the file when your ready. They should be able to handle an eps file. Just let me know if they have any other kind of requirements and I'll send you the correct file.

No, it is all vector based so there shouldn't be a resolution problem. Be sure to take a tape measure with you when you pick up your printout so that the printout is the correct size.

Bobby115 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 10, 2003, 09:48:08 am »

Hey 3dmacman, By any chance did you send that file to the aol address as well as the other one I gave you?? I didnt get that file yet......Maybe something happened.

Is there a place online that I can sign up for some free webspace so you can upload the file?? Or maybe we can do a file transfer??

Anyone here have some webspace that can hold this file for a few minutes until i donwload it??

Let me know and again, thanks for the help
