Title: MAME Atomic Orange and Capcom Diamond Plate graphic?
Post by: mrbones on July 28, 2009, 01:04:21 pm

I'm building a new cabinet and want to use either the Capcom diamond plate design or the MAME atomic orange found on mamemarquees.com for the control panel. Does anyone have those graphics (or something similar for the Capcom one) for download anywhere?

I haven't decided which to use but I want to add joystick arrows and outlines to them. I'm just worried they might look too plain as-is.

Hey, has anyone ever used them? I would love to see a finished CP with either one.

Thanks!

I am almost done with my control panel and I was stuck in the same boat as you and wanted to have the arrows and button descriptions worrying that the control panel might look too plain without them.  Perhaps if I planned things out ahead of time or worked closer with Scott I could have had this done but I opted not to because my layout is sort of unusual.  All in all it didn't end up too bad without the arrows or descriptions.

That looks good. Yeah I might ditch the whole arrows idea because I don't have the time or patience to design it. It's also a heck of a lot easier installing one without them because you don't have to align everything up exactly right and worry about them being a little off.
