Thanks for the offer cth

www.world-of-arcades.com has a few high quality scans hosted like

King of Fighters 2001
Metal Slug 4
Nightmare in the Dark
SNK vs Capcom SVC Chaos
Zupapa

I've put

King of Fighters 2003
Matrimelee

password ma856262

cth if you want to pull those off there and host them that would be great :)

Edit: Some of the files are really big so I can only have 2 up at a time, not sure about making the files smaller without losing quality so I'll have the two up there and if cth hosts them I can move two more up, or just make a request if you want to work on a specific one and I'll pu that one up.

Up right now
King of Fighters 2003
Matrimelee

Here's a scan.

I think someone posted a higher resolution image of it, though. Let me look around.

Yeah fats wants me to print them up. I'm planning on printing on some .010" thick laminate and frosting them, I believe they should look almost like real mini marquees in thickness, transparency, etc. :) The problem isn't the scan Fats just wants me to make him some nice ones...I'm still hesitant, we'll see, maybe once the Neo support is officially dropped.

SSV is simple enough for me sense I have it on HD BUT I am just thinking about the layout of the instructions...Alot o fthese should be a piece of cake.
you have my support. I'll just Upload to Crazearcade when I'm done.
I have'nt gotten a chance to pull those scans of of your FTP but I would love to get 2003.

Yeah mostly I just plan on using the controls box off the flyers for anything I do, since that's how they've always been done, for some of the games I get ideas quickly, but Slug 4 has really been shitty, I just can't come up with an idea. Otherwise MMs are pretty simple I think.

KOF03 flyer is up on my acct, so whenever you need it you can head over there.

Yeah, I was thinking about using a different set of controls I like from another marquee. Whatever I choose to do,they have to be resized,etc.
Yeah, once I get rolling ,this should be a piece of cake. GREAT IDEA TOO!
Uhhh, I wanted to get ahold of that classic 2003 insert but the gut pulled the auction!! SH8T! I want some classic inserts :D

Well, this one wasn't on the list, but I thought some people may be needing it soon :)

This one was tough since there was no pre-existing art. So...being the cool guy I am, inside on a Saturday night, I spent the better part of an hour looking at other Data East mini marquees. There are a few key features on this that make it a Data East mini, maybe if I'm not so tired I'll edit this and explain tomorrow. Or feel free to guess :)

are there a lot of scans available on the web of mini marquees? and does anyone have any experience on how to laminate them properly?

I would like to make some backups of the ones I already have for my cab so I can preserve the originals properly without them sunfading.

I grabbed that 2003 and MS5, could you place the 1st page of the SamSho V back up. I Dl'ed them all awhile back but the 1st page is corrupted. I need it fo rthe first set of instructions.
Is that the matrimelee poster where all the cracters are on the page and sissy is in the middle holding a chest(?) ?
