Many thanks to @angel77lopez and @Wheelhorse for the Picade artwork - I just finished a Dragon’s Lair 2020 10" Picade and it looks great.
I found a fairly easy way to scale the posted artwork and printout on a standard inkjet printer:
- download artwork
- use Microsoft paint to crop the individual part to be printed (crop as close as possible)
- save cropped part to a new file
- open Microsoft Word, set to landscape mode and then set left and right margins
- see below on calculating the numbers for the margins
- click and drag the saved part to Word and it automatically scales to the correct width
- print the Word doc on high quality photo paper
The key part here is setting the left and right margins. The Marquee should be 220 mm wide; therefore the left and right margins should be set to ( 11" - 220 mm / 25.4 mm per inch ) / 2 margins. This equates to 1.17" margins left and right.
If you are printing out the picture for the joystick and buttons for the 2020 Picade, the margins should be set to (11" - 253 mm / 25.4 mm per inch) / 2 margins = .52". If you have a 2018/2019 Picade, the picture for the joystick and buttons should have margins = (11" - 246 mm / 25.4 mm per inch) / 2 margins = .66".
The above method worked out well for me since the dragon’s lair image that I could download directly from this message board had a resolution around 4000 x 5000 pixels.
Hey guys. Im brand new here. Just got my first picade this week. Its the new 8inch version. Id love to get the xmen a4 file but I know I cant send PMs for a while. How long does that take or what do I have to do to get that ability? Great cabs everyone! Very excited to have my own!

Hey there, any chance you could send me full files for the black pacman artwork? I’ve just purchased the new 10" picade. I’m a little confused as to the best way to have these printed to ensure they are the proper size? Any help in this respect would be greatly appreciated. I’m kinda new at this. Cheers!
Just curious, I’m new to this, how did you print out the templates to ensure proper size and fit? Did you use a professional printer or do it yourself? Thanks!
I’m in a similar position. Bought and assembled my Picade last month and now ordered the Plasma buttons as they seems the most straightfoward upgrade, but additionally I’d love to add custom artwork (but similarly unsure of how/where to print accurately in the UK).
