looks real good...good job.  are you planning on installing side art on this? 

as for your DK running slow, you may need to use an older version of mame.  Not that long ago (i don't remember which version, but i'm sure someone here does) mame changed how the audio was handled..it used to use audio samples, and now it doesn't, which apparently causes it to run alot slower.  it seems to run fine on my Athlon XP 2500+ with 1gb of DDR400 ram, but on older machines, you would be much better off to go with an older version of mame.  Are you planning on running any other games on this? or just set it up as a dedicated DK?  I went the same route as Javeryh and set mine up to run the vertical 4way classics that require 1 button or less, which leaves me with a little over 30 games.

Yea im gonna get the side art soon, maybe ill order it tonight.... As for Mame running slow, that machine is a POS.  It needs to be reformatted.  But my friend is gonna give me his old AMD machine with a decent AGP card so it should be plenty to run it.  I just wanted to see how it would look with the game running, and make sure that the controller worked properly. It looks awesome, and the controller worked great! And I do plan on running more than just donkey kong. I will probably make a 2 player panel at some point I have to have my arcade space/plane shooters ;)

Thanks! I wish I had more updates for it, but I just started my new job, so I have not had the time to drive up to the workshop :\

I probably will not work on in much at all until the beginning of April when I move to my new place, because it is going to be the first thing I move in! lol

I found a member on here, well....a seller....and for a DK coin door he wants $150....yea right.

I found another one on KLOV for best offer but its pretty messed up since someone tried to break into it.

Any other places I should check for one besides here and ebay?
