J69:
Just finished this. Let me know what you think ;D
Its started out like a red version of this
Somebody had painted it black, with the screen bezel 3 different shades of silver, glued on a plastic CP, stuck a cheap Mame PC in and sold it on for £650! :eek: So when I picked it up it looked like this
Got it home, gutted it and threw out all ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- inside I didnt need! All I left was the power supply, the 31k screen and the 2 speakers. All the following went in the bin
Leaving me with this
8 cans of refrigerator paint later and we had
Thought I would colour the bezel differently so it would stand out more
Printed the Marquee off on photo paper
Bought a Sheet of steel from a DIY store for the new CP
It was too thivk for my jigsaw so I had to end up hacksawing it out and filing it down :lolz:
A guy off ebay printed out 2 sideart stickers for me for £10
I used some self adhesive vinyl to cover the CP and bought a few new buttons. Fortunately the sticks were Sanwa's anyway! Notice the custom dust guards :D
A sound amp, pad hack and VGA lead later and we have a nice new 360 cab to play KOF XII, Blazblue and SSFIV on :buttrock:

Excellent work! I like it, and you did it for a really good cost. Was it not wide enough to make it 2 player, or did you only one 1 player?
emphatic:
Great of you to post this here as well, J69. :cheers: The one player panel is the way to go with candy cabs IMHO.

I'd stick a USB port on the underside of the control panel to plug in another joystick for 2 players, and keep it behind the coin door when not in use.
