I started a project to document mini-marquees. Please contribute if you can. Original thread can be found here (http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141806). <--- link
Might as well start with the begging:
Please email your submissions to witchboard@gmail.com following the below guidelines with your name so you may be given credit for your contribution.
Please submit an original scan and not a scan found on the Internet as those may have been altered by either color correction or re-sampled to acquire a specific dpi/size.
Use a piece of black construction paper to back lightly colored marquees so the edges are easily identified.
Scan your original marquee at 300 dpi with no automatic color/contrast corrections.
Allow extra room around your marquee when scanning so it can be cropped to a standardized size.
Save as an uncompressed TIFF (.tif) file for lossless quality. Each image will be approximately 7MB in size.
I've setup a page at my website about the project located here.

I've got all I have up on bittorrent.

Posted a new updated torrent for the archive. It would probably be easier to reference this (http://members.cox.net/witchboard/mma.html) page in the future for updates if you're interested in the project. Also, if anybody could help, it would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Figured I would bump this thread with the announcement that in addition to the torrent, there's also a dedicated website for the mini-marquee archive. Still needing contributors, so if you have any mini's lying around, please consider contributing to the archive. The new website can be found here (http://mvsmma.okcoin-op.com/).

Oops, double post.

Well, most of the mini marquees are scanned to my knowledge...Perhaps a list of wanted scans would help those of us who would like to contribute.

Whatever isn't on the new website. A lot of the images already scanned are low resolution scans with compression. I hate to re-invent the wheel, but at this point I'd like to start with original hi-res scans. For more information you can check here (http://mvsmma.okcoin-op.com/readme.pdf). Thanks for your support. :cheers:

Bump for re-interest...
Maybe this'll start something (hopefully):

The thing I would love to see most is someone post and say "my mini is better, where can I upload it." ;D
