racinglikeapro Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Custom SNK Neo Geo Marquees View File Hey guys, this is a set of arcade marquees I built last year for the SNK Neo Geo platform. While the red MVS marquees are very good, and quite true to how people, including myself, physically saw these games in arcades, I've always felt they made these games feel more "generic" somehow, despite the fact that there are some real gems in the Neo Geo collection. These are all the same size, 2560 x 730, which might seem an odd resolution, but it matches a portioned-off top screen in my arcade build. I can't even remember why I chose this pixel size, but it's not a terrible aspect-ratio in terms of a middle ground for arcade marquees, which as we all know are quite variable. These were generated with a mix of the amazing artwork resources in the Launchbox Games DB (game logos, and company / platform logos), and the standard MVS card artwork, overlaid on top of official / fan-artwork which was extended with generative-fill in Photoshop, which can produce some rather incredible results. Everything was also upscaled throughout the process with FreeScaler on the Mac, which really blew me away in terms of how much it can improve low-resolution artwork. A few examples are attached separately too. Hopefully these are useful! I've also built standardized marquees for other platforms, if people like these. Thanks to everyone in this awesome community for contributing so much high quality content over the years. It's about time I gave something back Submitter racinglikeapro Submitted 01/10/2025 Category Platform Banners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
