I've gotten some MVS carts that are either missing the mini-marquees, or they're poor color copies.

I'd like to make some high-quality ones for myself, but I need to find a place that has good scans of the original marquees (preferably of the English versions).

Anyone know a good site where I can get these?

Really?
I don't get Pop ups for some reason.
Thank's for telling me though..
I've been using the site to make marquees for awhile.
I'm gonna check out that site you mentioned.

BigNick can you tell me how to find marquees on that site because I can't find them.

I was wondering this same thing myself. I wouldn't mind making my own mini marquees from actual SNK artwork, but it'd need to be high resolution. Most of the stuff on the internet is web quality and laughably printable.

If anyone has a link to at least high quality scans of artwork, weather it be flyers or mini marquees themselves, I'd be highly interested as well.

I am redoing my site, but you can access the folders <a href="http://www.neogeoforever.com/GamePages/" target="_blank">here</a>. I have scans of mini marquee and flyers. I still have to upload about 25% more.

Thanks for all the help so far, guys.

Unfortunately, none of the sites have what could really be called "printer quality" scans.

What I'm really looking for is a HIGH quality scan of the Waku Waku 7 mini-marquee.

My fiance found a site with a nice pic of a Japanese copy, so we might be able to cobble together an English copy from that.

If anyone has any more suggestions though, it would be greatly appreciated.

If someone wants to scan the marquee at 600 dpi, I'll host it.

You might want to check <a href="http://www.mame.dk" target="_blank">www.mame.dk</a> for mini marquees. Just search under Neo Geo only, click on details and scroll down to Download Information (6th section). Some of them are better quality than others. The Waku Waku 7 one is not the best though. Most of them are about 400 kb in size.

I have all those scans, because I originally scanned all of thoses, or had people donate them to me. I have never been able to get a nice scan of the Waku Waku 7 art.
