At that time there were a total of 476 images using a depth of 256 colours. They were also 350 pixels wide only. It was not long before it was decided that 500 pixels and 16bit colour depth would be needed. That's the current standard. The vast bulk of these marquee images have been saved from Ebay which then have passed through my insane APS squaring & PSP brushing process. The majority of the NeoGeo / MVS insert raws are thanks to oNyX and his contacts such as Donnie. I would like to thank oNyX as he has always been a huge help since the humble beginnings. Of course, there have been many other people who have provided submitions or have been of help over the years with things. A big saluted thanks! In the past two years I would say I have spent at least 1000 hrs on these marquee images. So you better fekking enjoy ! :] ---------------------------------------- PRESENT... ---------------------------------------- There seems to be a continuous influx of new or better marquee images that can be used for the packs. So there doesnt seem to be end in sight at the present moment ---------------------------------------- FUTURE... ---------------------------------------- I am keeping an archive of marquees that are in their original size and have been brushed up and restored. They are in PNG format and not subject to the horrors of JPEG compression. If the future requires images of a larger proportion then youll be pleased to know that I probably won't have a fekking 56K modem at that time :] ---------------------------------------- WHERE ON THE WEB... ---------------------------------------- These marquee images are used in various places across the web from small project web sites to large information databases ---------------------------------------- http://www.mame.dk/ http://www.klov.com/ http://www.system16.com/ ---------------------------------------- GREETINGS TO... ---------------------------------------- Donnie & Joe McCabe & Garg & Xray1 Onyx & Arcade Museum & MVS Crew Brooksie & The Extreme Arcade Ebay & Sellers & Arcade Sites Alt.Games.Mame & Tombstones Smitdogg & The L3E+ P05S3 Retrogames & The RG Crew Arcade Collecting & CAGA Roman Scherzer & Logiqx Phydeaux & Closet2Mame Tomm @ MGcAP & IonPool Croc & JC @ Mameworld Myclone & Gyrovision Strider & Cybercade PSP 7.04 & APS 6.01 Phil & Mame Arena Sixtoe & System16 Eldio & EMAM :) ---------------------------------------- YOU CAN CONTACT ME HERE ELDIO@FSMAIL.NET ----------------------------------------
