Marquee display

Here is my attempt at using a marquee display with mame. I actually recompiled the code to provide some automatic marquee display in the render layout code.

What are we looking at here? Is this a separate thin monitor being used for the marquee or some sort of projection?

It's a separate monitor, normally used in a car for a backup camera mounted to a visor.

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I could definitely see this catching on.

Oh Awesome!

Lets have some specs on that display screen.
must be a mini cabinet right.

Now if someone could make us a LCD with a square hole in it for the bezel and we got the 4:3 LCD for the game picture.

Of course a 42" wide screen monitor would work with gaps cut left and right through the cabinet. Then you would have to hide the chunk of screen coming through with like speaker boxes.

This is the configuration I'm planning. It's a sacrifice on the main monitor, but I might be able to mount the marquee assembly on tracks in such a way that I can "roll it" upward for pinball games.
