Johnny T Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi all, I've just received my dynamic marquee LCD. I got it from eBay for £120 (incl. shipping) and I'm really pleased with it (see photos I made after quickly setting it up). By the way, to add a marquee screen (just in case you're wondering as I didn't know how to do it and it took me a bit of Googling to find it) you go in to BigBox and set the following setting inside General options... Here's the dynamic marquee in action..... I just wondered if anyone has a proper set of marquees for all the systems? And a comprehensive set for all the games on different systems? I've found this site: http://www.progettosnaps.net/marquees/ which I'm hoping is all the MAME marquees? (I can't download for another 5 hours according to MegaDownload - so will have to wait to find out). I also found these on the LB download page: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/19-game-marquee-images/ However, I also run Pinball FX, all the Atari systems etc etc and wondered if anyone has a really good collection of marquees they would be happy to share with me? (or point me to where I could get them). Many thanks for any help you can give me. Cheers John :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I am on a project team that is currently in process of making marquee packs for many different systems. We don't have anything released as of yet, but below is a sample of the work so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sounding like an impatient p***k have you a rough idea when you would be looking at releasing these? They look absolutely superb. Thanks for all your hard work :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 No release date yet. We are in the process of going back and using default media for those games that have missing art, so we get better coverage. As you can imagine, it is time consuming. We aren't wasting time however. The project members want these available for our own marquee monitors as well, so the project is very active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny T Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 That's great news. Well if there's anything I can do to help then please let me know. I shall wait with baited breath! Do you know where I can get game marquees from by any chance? Thanks Dragon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Doubtful you will find full marquee sets for all the various platforms. As a start though there are quite a few marquee images in our downloads section here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny T Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) **Edit** here's his new listing on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/28-Stretched-Lcd-Screen/333293893842?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D7d58556e9c724d9e9017eb17fb845bdc%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D333293893842%26itm%3D333293893842%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507 Hope I'm okay posting that here. Just delete it if not. I spoke to the guy who sold me the dynamic marquee over the weekend. He's got a few more for sale. Some with some marks on them and others that are perfect. So, if you want one, keep an eye on eBay or give me a shout and I'll pass on his details.

Napalm2016 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks Johnny T Just seen he had another up for sale so grabbed it before it goes been after one for a while and that is very cheap in comparison to anything Ive found I wanted it to fit in my cab but think this will be too tall but hoping I can doctor the cab abit if not it will just sit ontop :) 7 hours ago, Johnny T said: I spoke to the guy who sold me the dynamic marquee over the weekend.

Glad you managed to snap it up mate. I've not started building my cab yet so it will primarily be designed around the width of the LCD. It was a bit bigger than I was looking for but, as you say, they aren't that easy to find so didn't want to pass it up. Happy days! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
