About This File

I use the awesome Bigbox function to display marquees on a secondary monitor. For years I've been collecting high res Mame arcade marquees from all over the internet and since the start of this project got huge help from people in the community to expand this collection, please see the credits below. Not all marquees are in 4K but many are, I've down scaled the resolution to max 3840 pixels wide and max 2160 pixels high and saved all in .jpg format for a good size and quality balance. This project includes Naomi and Atomiswave marquees as well as other arcade systems.

These marquees go hand in hand with this bezel project: 

Credits 
I have forgotten where I got all marquees through the years but I know many came from the legendary @Mr. Do collection see: https://mrdo.mameworld.info/index.php and the many members that create artwork at: https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=
@ArsInvictus is certainly one of the providers as well. A huge thank you to @mOa and @JonnyModlin for providing many many marquees to this collection. Many lower resolution marquees came from the legendary team of AntoPisa at https://www.progettosnaps.net/

Also a huge thanks to the following people and sites: @PapaShine, @Dreamstate, @flanx, imbord3rlin3, @djweevil666, http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/, @THK, https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/, https://www.flyerfever.com/, https://www.recreativas.org/, Ken at https://www.flickr.com/photos/10707024@N04/, zzzaccaria.com, Hasan Tasdemir from Nationaal Video Game Museum for the opportunity to photograph at your amazing museum. 
https://www.nationaalvideogamemuseum.nl, https://segaretro.org/, @seijurou and all the logo makers and artwork scanners and submitters for the LB database and other databases.

Hope you enjoy this collection.

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.

are there any generic system marquees for consoles that might compliment this pack?

This pack only contains marquees for games

generic system marquees

Not marques but these clear logos might look good. It would be a black background with the logo centered vertically and horizontally.

@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.

Hey @JonnyModlin I know you spammed the forums of hyperspin like crazy with exactly the same comments and enormous lists of marquees you "need" years ago, which makes me wonder if you're bot, can you confirm if you're human?

Do you use a monitor to display them on while gaming?

Why do you need marquees to be cleaned?

I don't use a monitor to display marquees while gaming. I do need marquees cleaned for them to look great to remove damages, marks, sticker. thanks.

I dont mind marquees to be imperfect so I wont be of any help to you. What is your emulator of choice for arcade games and do you have a favorite arcade game of the 80s?

Good :) Well, I think your best bet would be to ask a professional to clean up your marquees.

You could try arcade art shops or better follow a tutorial on using gimp for example, the clone tool will come a long way. If you like to help out with this project im interested in marquees that are not present in the projects downloads or marquees that are of higher quality or resolution than currently present in the collection. If you like to help out please zip them up together and attach the zip file in your post. Ill mention you in the credits if I can use them.
