Looking for original english mini's that are in "presentable when backlit" condition for the following titles:

All Metal Slugs except for 3 (I have this one)
-would accept high quality reprints of the arcadeshock versions of MS4 and MS5 or point me to someone who prints them. :)
Bust a Move (not interested in Puzzle Bobble)
SVC Chaos
-would accept high quality reprints of the arcadeshock version of this or point me to someone who prints it.

That's it for now, until I get more carts. :D

Thanks.
 
I have high res scans for all of them except 5 (I really need that one!) from my personal collection. You can find a scan of my MS4 mini marquee here (use the link under the image). There was a guy on the Neo Geo forums that printed them for a while, but I don't know that he does it anymore. Check my other mini archives here - I think I may have MS5 and SvC in one of them somewhere (probably the NG forum member collection).

I have a pretty nice extra MS1 mini marquee. I'd prefer to trade if you happen to have anything I need. Pics of it are here.

Thanks, Matt. I have definitely been to your site and it is great. I thought I remembered you having a retouched version of the MS4 a while back. The scan is good, but there are flaws and I'm not sure how it will come out printed. I would love to find an original arcadeshock version of MS4 and MS5. I'll PM you about the MS1.
 
Yeah that is a really good site :D Sad to say, I believe the person doing the really nice reprints has stopped, although emdkay is still doing reprints of MMs, but they are fairly costly. You almost pay as much (if not more in some cases) as originals.

I think there is one in there.....well, I have a recreation of it here, meaning it looks nicer but isn't a scan of the marquee itself. You can tell because the SNK logo doesn't look right, for example. The only flaws mine might have are debris from the scanner. If you can't find one, let me know and I'll re-scan mine and clean it up a bit for you.

I managed to pick up the MS4 Arcade Shock kit a few years ago before they sold out. It was fairly cheap from what I remember, too.

That's the one. How did I miss that. I see they have a MS4 kit on their site right now, but for 130. I don't think the mini is worth the 50 dollar difference in the regular kits.

Thanks a bunch, Matt.

No problem. It looks like the one AS has for now right now has the large marquee instead of the mini marquee anyway. At least based on the listing...I guess they didn't update the images.
 
Hey Matt, I have an original MS5 mini-marquee that I could scan and send you. Let me know if you are interested.

That would be awesome - I'd love to add it to the archive on my site! Most of the scans I have are 300dpi TIF files, if you can do that. If so, PM me and I'll send you an email address to send them to. Thanks!
