The Devil Mame
golfboyusa:
Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile since I posted a new project. Here's one I'm doing for a friend. It's not going to be anything groundbreaking, but it will be a cabinet that intergrates a few new components that I've not used before. I'm hopeful that the finished product will turn some heads! Everything has been ordered and I started cutting today. Here's the rundown of the main components:
23" Vizio LED TV - This screen is unbelievable. The graphics on Future Pinball blew me away.
HP Computer - AMD Athlon II X2 215 Processor 2.70 ghz -3 gig of ram..
GeForce GT220 1gig Video Card
Ultimarc U-Track USB trackball - I can't wait to try it out.
Ultimarc MagStik Plus (2)
Happ Red pushbuttons
12" Red Neon Rings
Here we go! :cheers:

The control panel will be my standard layout. I have held off cutting the hole for the trackball because I do not have it yet and the trackball ships with a retainer ring that needs to be installed fairly tightly. I just got a brand new adjustable hole cutter and I can't wait to give it a try. I prepped the panel with black paint so the CP overlay from Mame Marquees adheres correctly. The paint needs to sit for at least two days befor applying the overlay. I plan to run T-molding around the front edge and sides of the CP, so the slot has been cut.
I also began sketching out the sides of the cabinet - I'm may adjust here and there depending on the alignment of the LED monitor.
The Joysticks, buttons, trackball and T-mold will be red and the cabinet will be black laminate. The Marquee will have the Devil Theme.

Thanks. His art reminded me of an old Lords of Acid album cover. I like dirty devil women! >:D

I received the sound system today. I'll post a picture after I get it unboxed....
BTW, Future pinball was loaded some tables very slowly into the editor (Road Girls & Dead hunters took approx 3 minutes). I turned off indexing and that fixed the problem!
