Huge Mame Marquee Collection including many in 4K resolution 5.7

just one question: i followed same steps for missing screenshot too.

Now i want to do the same for videos, but it seems it isn't available the Video checkbox: 

So it is not possible i think to follow this procedure to retrieve missing video, am i right?

 

thank you!

LB database doesnt have videos except for some cinematic theme videos. You'll want to use the emumovies download menu for that in the second step. If in emumovies menu there aren't any videos then they are not on their servers.

ok, thanks!"

interesante grasias

 

What's New in Version 1.5

I got help from @mOa he kindly donated new and updated marquees and also pointed out some grahical glitches that where present in the collection, thanks bro! 
I was on a new quest to find or create marquees that where missing as a replacement for the generated marquees I uploaded previously as I wasn't pleased with them at all, they look really boring after a while.
A lot of research went into this, the result is a ton of custom marquees I created but also found a few great custom marquees by others, rare Japanese marquees (Instruction flyers standing up), adjusted marquees, recreated marquees, new marquees and then some more marquees lol
Also thanks to @ArsInvictus for some amazing quality marquees he uploaded. And thanks to anyone that uploaded artwork, logos and more to the LB database, without them I couldn't have created those custom marquees.

Pack 1 of 2, second pack will be available in a month or so.

Here's the content of Update 1.5, watch in 4K if you have the chance.

Will you release the second part of the pack?

Yep, its still in the works a bit later than I thought initially though. There will be more updates after the second pack in the future.

What's New in Version 1.7

- 100 new marquees. Thanks to @djweevil666 for the Soul Edge marquee. Thanks to http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/ I could find some rare marquees. I made a lot of custom marquees and recreated some. Some are very low quality but it was the best I could find as they are very rare.

What's New in Version 1.8

100 new marquees including many custom marquees and some recreated marquees. Thanks to @djweevil666 for the amazing work on the marquees for Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack.

What's New in Version 1.9

- Added another 100 new marquees

BIG THX for the Update 1.9 😍

Glad you like

What's New in Version 2.0

- Another 100 marquees

hi, i currently have the marquee complete collection downloaded from AntoPisa collection and I stored the marquees into the marquees folder into my MAME installation folder.

Is it possibile to keep both this beautiful marquees collection and the AntoPisa's one? Probably it is better to overwrite the AntoPisa's marquees with the ones included in this collection, in order to have the best file for each game. Is this correct?

thank you!

 

What's the aspect ratio of these?

I'm not familiar with that collection so I don't know what I should recommend in terms of overwriting.

They are all different but max out on either 3840 or 2160 pixels.

thanks

Currently my marquees (about 4450 .png files) are zipped in a 2GB marquees.zip file and it is correctly detected in Arcade64 (i don't use MAME anymore). For example, for FInal fight i have 2 marquees: the 1st one (ffight.png) has 1200x392 pixel resolution (400KB), the 2nd one (ffightj.png) has 500x122 resolution (75KB).  

As marquees of this beautiful collection are in .jpg format, they will not overwrite my collection..i can only add them and create a new unique marquee.zip file

How many files/games are included in this collection, more or less?

thanks!

The final fight marquee in this collection is much larger resolution wise. I use the marquees in launchbox images folders myself and then display them on a second screen in big box. Im not at the pc atm to count them but you could download the files and see in explorer how many there are.

@legolas119 What you could do is find a batch image converter and convert those png's to jpg's, that way you can overwrite them.

I'm currently setting up a 1680x342 marquee screen. The marquees are displaying fine, but many are not the full width of the screen. Did you come across any full-width marquees on your travels?

What do you mean by full-width? 

As in 1680 x 342 aspect ratio, like this - https://www.assured-systems.com/uk/litemax-19-ultra-wide-stretched-bar-lcd-monitor-1680x342-300-nit/

No as I've said before marquees all have different resolutions, in japan for example they used instruction flyers as marquees on top of their candy cabs and they have a vertical layout, and so on. When I can't find a dedicated marquee i'll resort to japanese marquees if I can't find those then official flyers and none of those I make a custom marquee.
