my project has begun .....
VanillaGorilla:
That looks like it used to be a Berzerk! I wish I had one of those....
randall ace:
Yes it is a former berzerk cabinet.... and the molding is the galaxians bright green, you are correct sir . ....since the coin door is basicly just gonna be there for looks , because all the mechanisms are gone , im trying to figure out a way to light up the coin slots to give the appearance of function ......
VanillaGorilla:
Are the bayonet holders still there from the lights that should be behind the coin inserts? If so, you can just get some 5v led replacements from paradisearcadeshop.com. I put some into my cab, work great. If the bulb sockets are gone, you could easily get a couple from radioshack, and wire em in to a 5v lead from your PC power supply. therealbobroberts.net will have all the lighting stuff you would need also...
randall ace:
bayonet holders are gone ....sadly
ive been experimenting a little today .....since i dont have enuff computer knowledge to do the mame thing myself ( yet ) i think i am going to use a gamecube , running the namco museum 1 disc inside the cabinet untill i can save enuff cash to get someone to fully mame it for me .... i plan on running an xarcade control pannel , to the gamecube , then out to the lcd monitor , but i am unsure how to hook the gamecube up to the lcd dell monitor .... im told this would work

- but im unsure how the sound would run as the monitor has no built in speakers?
upprc04:
I would really consider trying to get MAME working. You could find a old used computer for the price/maybe a little bit more of the console adapter. It will be a good learning experience. Does the XArcade easily hook up to a gamecube? I haven't looked in to that, but doubt it will be plug and play, but I could be wrong.
