Yeah we should all get a dynamic marquee! Those beautiful high res marquee files are screaming to get up on a nice second display haha I've read quite a few posts on the internet where people buy insanely expansive stretched lcd bar displays, some people have the money to do so but for 600 euro I rather buy a faster pc and such lol. So I go the cheaper route, I chose the LG 25MU58-p, it's around 169 euro over here, there are even larger variants than 25 or 29 inch from LG: http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-25UM58-P-ultrawide-monitor (search for 21:9 or ultra wide display for alternatives) Some people even manage to adjust their cabs build and hide the screen parts of an affordable 16:9 monitor (also a consideration if your pc-unit can't handle 21:9 or wider resolutions). You can also adjust the code in marquee view files in a big box theme to line out and scale the image to custom tune your screen and build, I still have to fiddle with those files once I've got everything set up. I'm a bit nervous for tommorow as my game pc hasn't got a second hdmi out so I'll have to go the vga to hdmi converter route and scale the max res (hopefully 1920 with a bit of gpu fiddling) image up which can hopefully be done within the screen's settings. In the future i'll be able to attach it to a more compatible modern build. Luxury problems lol.

Hope to see more of the ride along the way, i'm in the proces of building my mancave/gameroom I'll post some photos soon as well. Im not that handy in making a cabinet so I took the alternative way with a second screen as a marquee above the main screen, tommorow the 21:9 display will finally arrive, will you add a dynamic marquee screen as well in your cabinet?

Amazing artwork!! Wish I could draw like that thanks for sharing!

I'm starting to collect all high res marquees that I can find on the internet from all places, but I'm not sure if I can just share here what I have at the moment as I'm still very new in the emulation scene and not sure about all the rules yet and want to respect everyone. Any how I'm in the proces of collecting, creating and organizing system by system I have a good collection for CPS1 at the moment and made some marquees myself as I couldnt find Nemo and MegaTwins marquees anywhere. Pnickies is such a rarity I cant even find high res ads or fronts lol. This week Im finally getting a 21:9 display to drool and stare at the many wonderful marquees the scene has made. Also in the proces of making a new theme which will use the arcade cabinet images which will be a huge project in itself to make transparent pngs of the highest res cabinets out there, ok I'm drifting off topic in all my entusiasm for launchbox, gaming, graphics and the community it simply rules all in all

I'm working on a theme and would like to use the images in the arcade section as well, like cabinet, marquee and controls for instance. Anyone know which code I should use for a selected game? At the moment I'm using the images for Arcade Cabinet as Front Cart but this is very limited as I need big cabinet images and smaller Cart images seperatly in the same layout. Any help would be very appreciated! !Update!: Never mind I use the 3D Cart placeholder for Arcade Cabinets now.
