I've bought it together with the t-molding from www.t-molding.com Did that because that's the only way I can be really sure it will fit. But it takes longer.

Call for help!

I am lacking skills on the design part. I've been struggeling with Illustrator for the better part of this evening and did not achieved anything. What I want to create is the following:

- a multi layer design, where the cut-outs for the joystick and the buttons are on one, and the design on the other (Mamemarquee.com demands so)
- a six button per player layout, with one 8-way joystick per player
- one 'one-player' button and one 'two player' button
- one 'coin' button
- three rectangular buttons (enter, escape and pause)
- size 65 cm by 20 cm, thickness of the MDF 18 mm (25.59 x 7.87 x 0,71) (converting from cm to inch gives strange figures)

How do I do this?

muppets4:
Today the sun was shining, so I had a chance to work on my cabinet. I've done work on the bottom and the top, so I could put it together. Now I have to wait for the routerbit to arrive and for a helping hand for the controlpaneldesign.

First I worked on the bottom. It has to be pretty solid, so I used some wood I allready had in my shed. I also added wheels. Two steady ones and two turnable. I've seen it on other projects and they come in handy. Not only after building, but during too.



Then I moved on to the roof. When drilling holes for the screws, I use a special bit afterwards, to be sure that the screws are in deep enough. When painting the cabinet, I can easily fill the small holes.



And then.......a magical moment. The cabinet is upright for the first time. I've used a piece of wood for support only, but it's allready looking like something.

1- Crap I didnt read that over there LOL! I thought they would just load some kick ass media then send the print job over to the Plotter.

From GameOnGrafix.Com :

"If Plotter cut is chosen, the image MUST be a Vector Image or 300+ dpi image with the items to be cut on a separate layer then the rest of the image.

Also please create your file the exact size you wanted printed, we will not resize it."

2 - I think you will need one coin in for each player, at least it looks that way for the MAME program Im using. :dunno

This project is really moving along!

muppets4:
I was hoping that too.....my designskills lack....hmm...well....skills. But with the button layout you've mailed me I'm in for a good start. I will keep you posted.
