Metal Slug Lowboy *new update*

(1/7) > >>

XNIF:
I just ordered the first stuff for my first (lowboy) build. After long reading (this forum and "the holy book") i've now finally done it.
I've ordered a minipac kit from Gremlin Solutions. And this weekend i'm gonna get a 25" trinitron tv (with scart) and the MDF.
The high pressure laminate will come when the MDF is turned in a cabinet  :cheers:
I'm using the lowboy from RXII ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=68962.0 ) as a reference. However it's gonna be different in a lot of ways. I'm using HPL like i said for some nice art on the side and the CP.  I really liked the Street fighter cabinet from here, i wanna do the same for my lowboy in a Metal Slug theme. This SF cabinet: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84649.0

I'll keep you posted !

A strange thing happened when i placed my order, i started to sweat and shake ! Is this normal, or is this the feeling of an addiction comming?  :lol

Arcade building is like Hotel California. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave  >:D

Welcome to a life long addiction buddy  :cheers:

Just a small update:

Got my package from gremlin! It look great. I will make some pictures later today. Just to get more colour in my postings :)

This weekend i picked up a Sony Trinitron flattube CRT 25". I want to connect this with a VGA -> RGB scart cable i am going to make. I am not completely sure about how to proceed here... i want to run PC games and Mame with soft 15 khz. 

Things to find out:

* Can i set in the frontend to use mame with soft 15khz and normal pc games without?
* Will soft 15khz work with a 9800GTX or a 8800GT (those i have here on the shelf)

will post pics later.

saleem:
take a bit of advice,when you cut your panels for the cab,sides,front etc laminate them before you put it together.far easier to do and better to handle this way.

XNIF:
Little update with the pics!

The kit I ordered from Gremlin with 18 buttons


The buttons, orange and yellow, the idea is to also use orange T-molding:


The PCB and the harness, thank god i have a harness. Soldering those wires would take forever:


Big-ass 25" sony trinitron for 25 euro(32 dollar):
