Have CPO, Need Marquee
« on: February 09, 2004, 10:03:20 am »
I'm building a really simple mame cab that only plays vertical games with a 2 or 4 way joystick. Like Galaga, Ms Pac, Frogger, etc.

I was using basic colors.  The cab is going to be blue, it's a broken down SuperPacman Cab that was way butchered before I got it for $10 at the auction.  (not the original dark blue).

I have a $5.00 233 mhz computer running mamewah to power the beast with a hacked keyboard.

I think it should be very simple looking, not too busy.  

I have a concept Control panel here.  Anybody have an Idea what the marquee should look like.

Any suggestions?

Sincerelly, i think that the CP overlay it's "too" simple for me, i saw people building simple cabs using complex artwrk to spice them up! I can't remember any site hosting artwork besides the Zorg and Mametrix ones! Try asking Frostillicious about a custom one, since you're choosing a simple one, maybe he does it for ya!

Good luck in ya search!  :)

I thought I did.

I guess it doesn't autosize in the postings.

I have a matching bezel too.
