[@jimmychavis3698]

Wagner Santos Silva hey did you find the template

[@ramsesvelasco]

My Weecade is on it's way ... will I get the files via email ?

[@markh7280]

Guys your not answering anyone's question regarding the template creation. Can you explain how you create it in photoshop

[@Gameroomsolutions]

Templates come with purchase of a cabinet kit or artwork package. To create we converted parts of our cad drawings and created overlays. If not you would have to measure your handmade cabinet and create them based off measurements.

[@waleswideman1]

GameRoomSolutions.com yeah I know now how do we do it

[@frabsurdity]

I"m guessing it's non-intuitive, hence the price tag

[@josephroman88]

[@menthealo3725]

Good question

[@Rlgoggs]

I wanting to change the theme on my cabinet that I bought but I don't know how to print from the files. I can do everything except print with the bleed over. Can you help me with this?

[@Gameroomsolutions]

You need a vinyl print of some kind.

[@Rlgoggs]

@@Gameroomsolutions I have a printer and everything, I just can't figure out how to change size to include the overhang. When I print it's the exact size.

[@Rlgoggs]

@@Gameroomsolutions Forgot to add that I'm a past customer. That's why I have the files.

[@Gameroomsolutions]

@@Rlgoggs You need to turn off the overlay layer and then print. It will look weird, but then you can apply and trim to size and it will look perfect.

[@olaznog59]

hI!!! Do you have the psn proyect?

[@nox8537]

In what type of paper i need to print this?

[@Gameroomsolutions]

You cannot print on a standard printer. You will need access to a large format vinyl printer

[@Rivuzza]

what format do you work in base pdf? jpeg images? image size in pixel?

[@MNXXX123]

how is the photoshop free? please help

[@elamriti]

where is the software its not on the link anymore

[@Gameroomsolutions]

Just use the free 7 day trial of photoshop cc

[@chadiwack]

Not trolling serious question, help educate me... why would I purchase one of your units when 1upArcade sells their for a fraction of the price? Yours over $1000 and 1UpArcade $379ish??? Are your screens bigger? are you components better? I'm trying to make a decision on which to get but after seeing your prices I was a little confused as to why they are a ton more expensive.

[@meleniumshane90]

The same reason why you would buy furniture from a furniture store rather than mass-produced particle board furniture from Walmart. One is cheap crap that gets the job done, at least short-term, while the other has significantly higher build quality and will last a lot longer.

[@Wilscuts]
