: My cab only has MAME, but overlays were another way I was thinking of going. It seems like there would have to be way more than 5 for MAME, though!
Well, I only needed one for the stick & button games. 1 for Trackball games, 1 for Spinner games, 1 for button only games, and 1 for Defender/stargate.
: Where would you have clear plastic overlays like that made up, and what did they run you for each? Also, are they fastened on in any way, or do they just lay on top? I would worry that they would jump around a little during heavy game play.....
I made the first ones myself. I got the transfers from Happ, etched them on, after I got several sheets of clear plastic, and traced one to make a template. Took me 3 tries to get it right. After that I took it to a plastics guy near my neighborhood. I still do the actual labeling myself.
