Nice and fast turnaround on this project, and its looking great too!

Any chance of more detailed pics?
Thanks!
Marsupial:
Thanks!
I was initially planing for a 4-player, but when I saw how classic the cab was looking without the gun section, I changed my mind. Having it in a red-brown dye also wasn't part of my original plans, but I just felt it looked great that way. (soooo.... its the cab's fault if it looks great. the design just came to me while working on the cab. :dizzy: )
I am currently working on the sideart, making a Space Invaders scene. I was hoping to do that before taking more detailed pics.
Won't be too long... stay tuned ;) :lol
Marsupial:
not that its that detailed, but at least there's more pictures:
I need to take pics of the guts for future reference sake.

A decent first conversion. My one suggestion would be to try and boost the monitor up a touch more, then create a more suitable bezel by either peeling off the existing one bonded to the glas and getting a proper new vinyl one cut, or creating a simple mountboard piece to properly hide the edges of the monitor and insides.
If you're having issues with audio lag, try setting your native desktop resolution and emulator default resolutions a bit lower (all under 800x600 @ 60Hz), disable all filters (like scanlines), check 'switch refresh rate' and 'switch resolution to fit' in MAME, and turn off triple buffering on all emulators - the last one actually caused control response lag on my first machine.
Marsupial:
Thanks on the hints for audio lag, I'll give it a try.
For the bezel, I've been considering doing that. Mainly because the black bezel IS damaged, but on the sides where the black wood sections holds the glass. End result, neither there or anywhere else is visible with the dark smoked glass. It only shows on pictures.
I might leave it as is, at least for now.
Next upgrade definately is the marquee, then I want to replace the coin counter that hasn't been installed yet.
Q: what can we put, except of black, to still be classy as the monitor bezel?
