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

I can't get it to work. I click, it loads, then it gives me a box with an X.

I like the last one but I don't quite understand the theme. You have a classic video game character montage in the background but then you have some bubble bobble characters. They just seem out of place. Same with the "Player 1" and "Player 2" font and placement, they don't seem to mesh well with the other stuff.

That's being super critical though, other than that it does look good.

U mean something like this?

Or you can just sketch on the image and post it back, I am really open to suggestions.

Yeah like that! Now make it transparent like you had in the first option.

I really like it but you need to get rid of the "Credit" and "Start" and "A" and "B" button labels.  It will look a lot cleaner, IMO.  You could use actual button labels instead.

New Picture without "Credit" and "Start" and "A" and "B" button labels.

I Printed it on reflective vinyl film, so it's hard to get a good picture. But it looks nice

Any idea for the side art and marquees.
