      Hi all,

      Quick question on designing the outsides of your Arcade cabinet. I can't get a ready to use sticker set fitting my cabinet, so I need to prepare one of my own before having it printed. Do you know a database where I can find HD image material ?

      Thanks,

      Tm

        @Tim-s-up You can use overlay graphics and vector trace them into an .epsb so you can blow them up to whatever size you need without losing resolution. I always used Xtrace in my Amiga days, but there are free web apps to do it for you now.

            @Tim-s-up I had the most success when keeping the number of colors down and removing the detail elements, they look weird when scaled.

              What's the minimum resolution you need ? Is 150 dpi enough ?

                @Tim-s-up The source resolution isn't important, the bitmap graphics are translated to vectors with infinite resolution.
