i uploaded it to my website

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

This is very tempting to me. If someone got permission from the author, I'd like to try it out. Or collaborate with others on the forum.

I have no idea who the author is. I believe it's the promotianl poster from nintendo to promote the virtual console or something.

Oh okay, I saw this awhile ago and was under the impression it was fan art. Do you have it in a larger size?

I just ran that artwork through VECTORMAGIC and it came out pretty damn good...but I am not an artist and I am sure 99% of the "artists" here will scoff at the results.

I post my results here but the file limit is too low.

EDIT:  I just lowered the res a little and posted the raster version on photobucket...
While not perfect,  I think it's certainly good enough for a kick-panel.

I ran it through vectormagic and damn, you're right. It's perfect for a kickplate or marquee. That'll save me a lot of work :applaud: 

I think what I'm going to do then is take a few elements of the picture and trace them by hand, and maybe use them in a control panel or side art design or something.
