    If you can't find one, you can always take a high quality scan off the net to somewhere like Office Max and have them print it the correct size on a transparency sheet. Then you can sandwich it between plexiglass or some similar setup. I know a lot of custom mame cabinet marquees are done this way and come out quite nice.

    You can use a photo and try like before office max or printing places. Or these people will do it by a picture http://www.mamemarquees.com/customer...quee-p-77.html

    here is a pic of your marquee.

    Be sure to look for Raiden Fighters 2, i.e. plural. Artwork is hard to find generally, but Raiden Fighters stuff shows up from time to time on Shmups Forum.

    Just put blank space around the art so that it fits a conventional size you can order, then cut it to fit when you receive it.

    Please don't cut an original marquee though.

    p.s. enp82003, Shmups Forum has a high scores thread for the game, as well as some strategy stuff for some of the harder to figure out things in the games.
