Installing an Arcade Marquee

[pulseforce]

Jason, you need to start wearing a Top Hat.

Hi. Thanks for the tips. Do you use a lcd or a crt as a monitor? Thanks.

[breakdancer1967]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I like how you fitted the led lights for the marquee. I would like to know if the led lights are powered directly to a power point or within the units wiring?

[delusional2971]

@breakdancer1967 within the units wiring... I connected it to the yellow 12v terminals on my PC's power supply. Check out my other video on Wiring LEDs to see how it's hooked up.

Anyway, it's no longer mamemarquees it's game on grafix .com . Just want to put that out there

How did you mount your LED strip? Is there another piece of wood you put it against? And how far from the marquee did you mount it?

[delusional2971]

I screwed two blocks of wood to the inside of the arcade cabinet. Then I screwed a long piece of wood to each block so that the wood is facing forward. The LED light is mounted to the piece of wood with two screws and plastic PCB mounts (it comes with them). I mounted it about 4 to 6 inches away from the marquee. Hope this helps!

Where can you buy the steel marquee retainers? Thanks. Nice video and arcade.

[delusional2971]

Actually, they are made of plastic. You can get them at Twistedquarter . com (search for the keyword marquee on the site) You just have to cut them down to size. They run about 10 dollars for a set (upper and lower)

[jayrod2]

That'll work. Thanks.

OK thanks

DO U GUYS TAKE PAYPAL FOR PAYMENT?

[delusional2971]

I don't own Mamemarquees, I am a customer. But you an ask the owner, Scott, directly via e-mail. I'm pretty sure they do accept Paypal.

[TheNews1990]

@REALJOHNYCAGE there now called game on grafix and the accept paypal or money orders

Hey Jason, what kind of tool did you use to fasten the marquee clamps? Is that just a regular screwdriver?

[delusional2971]

The marquee retainer does not come with any holes in it. I simply mounted it onto my cab, held it there and drilled small holes. Then I used small phillip screws to hold it in place. It's just a normal screwdriver that I used. :-)

Wonderful instructional videos. Just beginning my own cabinet and your videos will come in VERY helpful. I can't quite make out the website that made your marquee. Thank you!

[delusional2971]

I added an annotation with the website in the video itself. It's also listed in the description on the upper right of this page.

[delusional2971]

Come join the forums at the Maximus Arcade website. I am a moderator there. You can post in the emulators section to answer your many questions. Also, there may be updates to the front end that may solve your problem. We are currently up to version 2.10 beta 3

how do u exit out of the dreamcast emulator when ur done playing the game on full screen and i config my buttons but the player one buttons will mess with the shift and menu buttons on the window

[delusional2971]

you can exit the dreamcast emulator (assuming that you are using the Maximus Arcade front end which is what I use) by pressing the "exit emulator" button that you set in Maximus Arcade. If using anything else, the only way that you can exit nullDC (Dreamcast emu) that is in full screen is by hitting ALT-F4 (as noted in the readme file)
