1UP:

OK, I'm late for work now...but HEY, at least I got the coin door and marquee lights working on my tiny cab!  :P

See ya all tonight, I'm hoping there will be a few more entries by then!

SirPoonga:
Well, unfortunately I just didn't have the time, I spent most of my time working on controls.dat or fixing my car (what a POS!).

Here's as far as I got on the cardboard mockup.  I ran out of ink and printed the bezel and marquee too large, otherwise they would be on the mockup.

The control panel, bezel, and sideart: guess where those came from:)  I now have a replacement marquee finally too that I got for $1 off ebay.  But the marquee in the mame32 pack was good enough for this size.  I tried ot take a pic of my marquee but there was way too much glare, even with the flash diffused.  partly to get the best looking shot for this I had to tae the pic straight on giving the most reflections.  Grrrrrr.

Edit: Props to anyone who can name the the games in the background :)

1up, I can't believe what a fantastic job you did.  The attention to detail is just outstanding!  Is this mini-cab also using the cassiopia?

team OBryan:
Here is my entry. It has been complete since about 4 days before the last deadline. It is a working Pacman cab. It stands a little less than 12 inches tall. I used one of those Namco 5 game classic joystick things that run on 4 AA's and plugs into a TV found here  

http://www.jakkstvgames.com/namco.html. The screen is an LCD rca TV with A/V jack. The joystick is a miniature 4 way that I found by luck in an electronic parts store. The buttons I had from a project in high school back in 1987.
