Oh heck no! I take it as a compliment! I made something that does the job, for what I think is a decent price, and looks good in the machine! I know they wont look like the originals but the way I see it is, even the originals don't look like the originals anymore due to some of them being printed 20+ years ago and most not being taken care of or lost! If they were carbon copies of the originals they wouldn't be as cheap, wouldn't be made as fast, and the killer is if they were indistinguishable from the originals I wouldnt be a "reproducer" I would be a "bootlegger". Now there isnt anything wrong with "bootleggers" as long as its referring to alcohol!


EDIT: And if it wasnt good enough I would have expected a negative rating in iTrader lol. I want to thank you for posting pictures of the Mini in a cab! It will definitely help the others see the final product where it was intended to be used! How is the lady liking it?

sorry, but a perfect reproduction is desired. it's not a bootleg in any sense. i don't understand your sentiment because bootlegging would be trying to pass it off as the real thing. that's the distinction.

Alby,

Making indistinguishable reproductions soils the market and gives others the ability to sell them as Legit. I refuse to let my work be passed off as SNK originals. If your interested in a perfect print, please feel free to find someone that can image and develop the duratrans for a decent price AND can find the original color negatives. Other wise I believe my product to be the best alternative for not only the price but the turn around time I do, if these are not up to the buyers standards then I would advise them to keep their money and move along.

My girlfriend loves the mini marquee, but she wasn't too happy when I schooled her in Turf Masters yesterday :lolz:

Sorry about not updating this thread! Went to use my paypal debit card for my last order and found out it expired! Just got the new one in the mail last night and we are back up and rolling!

TravistyOJ - Your print will be sent out tomorrow! I'm sorry for the delay and will throw one of the color labels I printed up in with your print!

TravistyOJ and Renmauzo, Your prints are in the mail, You should see them by Wednesday the 20th! Renmauzo, please let me know how long it takes to get to you! You are my first customer from Canada and would like to gauge how well the USPS plays with your mail system.

Hey skinny, I just got my MVS blanks today (you were dead on with the estimated date!) and they look and feel fantastic :D I couldn't be happier, in fact, I'll probably hit you up in the future to do a run so I have backups for each kit. Thanks again!

I can't remember if you were the one offering these a while back, but I bought some reproduction mini marquees on these forums about 4 years ago and they all came out great, sure its not the same as the real thing, but they both have their pros and cons, in some ways the repros are better...

Anyway I was wondering if you had anything available for multicarts? I have a 138-in-1 that I may be interested in getting mini marquees for.

Edit: Just saw your join date, so it must have been another member I bought from back then.

I cant seem to find a .tiff file of the multi cart minis. It looks like emdkay.net has the only files and they have not responded to me ever and have upset a few members here. If you can find me a good source file that is 300DPI I can print it up for you

That looks great! I'll take one. It might be too small of text to read, but if you found another with list of games I would buy that too.

Don't know if you can edit the text on these at all, but to get back to game selection (on mine anyway) you have to hold p1 and p2 start. But that might only be because I have it set to free play. if it can't be changed, no worries I would still like the MM.

I'm pretty sure that would come out either ugly or way too small...

I can try around for that when I get home...

Ash,

I replied to your message on 11-01-2013, 09:56 AM with my paypal address. Once I see the funds I will have the printers start ASAP! If I see the money today before 3pm PST I can get the minis back by monday lunch time. If past 3pm it will be ready tuesday and shipped out that day! Sorry for the break down in communication, if you do place a order I will throw something extra in!

Oh man, that multicart mini looks awesome :) Wish I had thought of that. May have another batch in the works and would want that one. Keeping it in mind at the moment.
