BTW - I had two versions of that printed at Kinkos, the laminated version absolutely sucked (they have like 10 year old laminator and it really bubbles bad). Doesn’t really matter since I have the plexi protecting the art.
You should never put laminated art under plexi.
Wasn’t planning to, but since the laminate sucked I stuck with Plexi. I would like to make new plexi cover but don’t know how to properly cut to fit. What tools are used to custom cut plexi?
Artwork for my next stick, feedback welcome.

The concept is good but you need to blend and render the foreground Wolverine better- see by his ear and arm where it really stands out from the X due to all the while pixels? Try going in with the eraser, then hit him up with a proper gradient overlay and maybe an inner shadow?
Using Layer > Matting > Defringe is a much faster/better way of removing edges that result from a poor etch.
question:
the TE stick template I keep seeing has all its screws at the edge of the stick. My “S” TE’s screws are a bit more away from the edge. Am I missing something… ? Or is the layout actually different for the “S” TE.
Layout is a bit different in the sense that it’s full panel instead of regular panel on the Round1/2 TEs. Other than that, it’s the same.
Ah, so even if used these templates they would fit the screw holes; just wouldn’t cover the entire board?
Don’t use the Templates in First Post of this Thread if you are going to make your own.
Use the ones by arthong.

And he has the Full Template too.
Which is what your TE uses.
Yes, the Templates you see have same Button Placement and Screws.
All that is different amount of art showing.
Hey guys i’m new here, i’ve been lurking the forums on SRK for awhile now especially on the Tech Talk forums. Please be gentle on me and forgive me if this isn’t the right place to ask.
I was wondering how to switch or reverse the image of this image. http://www.shadowloo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/juri-wallpaper-1680.jpg
So that Juri is on the left side (flipped) and the background/words and icon is not backwards (but flipped)?? I know i can flip the image in photoshop, but that just made everything backwards! Sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense. As I dunno exactly how to word it correctly haha.
I’m hoping someone with some photoshop skills can help me with this, and I’d appreciate it greatly! Trying to get this for my T.E-S, and if this is do-able i can send the template to Art to print with full extended plexi!!
Cheers!!
If any body is taking requests or can take time to help me out i tried making my own template but since i have no idea how photoshop works i keep messing it up and since the OP said something about not stretching the image out because it ruins the resolution i don’t want to do that. So can any body just make me a template using the image below for the SE madcatz stick. Help will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

What size do images need to be to fit onto the Madcatz TE fight stick?
where did you get the font for the “Real Arcade Pro EX-SE”? working on my own layout and i want to get that so i can add it. When i DO mod my stikc, i’ll have that logo, and the hori logo, and button markings etched on the plexi. Should look neat. Now for a good layout that makes me happy…
does anyone know of any software to make an image bigger but to keep the quality I have this nice sepithroth image but its not big enough.
You can’t just make a bigger and keep the same quality. Doesn’t work. What I’ve done so far for my art is:
- For pixel art, use a scaling algorithm like scale2x
- For anime art, use a cartoon filter on it
Both of those techniques have removed many artifacts from my upscaling.
Genuine Fractals add-on for Photoshop.
I’m trying to download some templates but none of them work because my computer can’t open any of the files. Where can I download the file I need to open the templates… Anyone know what I mean?
