Nothin'

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

If you want to make some generic ones that would work for MAME cabinet hobbyists, awesome, but I don't see how this would appeal to us, otherwise.

You're doing fine work as far as your art is concerned. Just aiming it at the wrong people here. The majority of us have no use for this particular piece.

Like I said, just some examples of generic art that would work well for MAME cabinets or multi-game systems.

What exactly is the question?

The artwork looks great but what is it for?

This Design Is for one of our video poker games.It is a plexi bezel.
When I get more time I will post more art work . We do have a Mame cabinet that we produce for home use. It has a matrix thyme to it , which I have had mixed reviews for it. We are trying to figure out a good generic name for it. 
HAHA I just got the more lightning post  :laugh: touche
You can check out our web page www.funcomfg.com to se mor of our work.
Thanx ginsu victim for posting our website. And thank you for all the replys and ?'s. This helps me out a lot.

I was one of those who questioned the Matrix theme. After the two sequels turned out to be pretentious crap, most people have shunned it.

Can you guys do glass bezels using the same process you use to apply the art to plexi? And we can just send you the art we want on it?

Depends on how big the glass is and how thick . But sure I can do it on glass , like marquee's and things like that. And yes you can send us your artwork or design of what you want and we can produce it and apply it. Our size constrant is 24" wide for printing.

Though that would work for me, that rules out a lot of cabinets on this site.

For restorations of older cabinets, your service may come in VERY handy.

For side decals yes, but for bezels, marquees and keypads no, I can print as long as you want but the width is 24"
So if your marquee is 27" I would just print it the long way.
And at the present time we are looking to a bigger printer for side decals and bigger bezels. So in the near future all sizes will be possible.

Do you print the art in reverse on the BACK of the bezel like most classic arcade bezels are, or are you limited to having the art on the topside of the bezel?

If you're willing to help out restorers with their obsolete artwork that currently isn't being reproduced, that'd be great. You will get a lot of business my friend. Can we just PM you with what we want or do you want us to go through your website-site email.

Also, what file format do you require, most of us have .AI files.

What I do Is mount it on backside of the glass so you cant scratch the art work. If you want it on the front or back of substraight, we can do it.

Go threw our web site and speak with Dan Lewicki in sales or just email me at bburbach@funcomfg.com. Or call 1 800 808 5554 ask for Dan Or me, Bill.
 
AI files are fine psd, pdf, you know the usual .
