Project nostalgia
matsadona:
This is my second project announced here, but it was my first build and it is a MAME cabinet i did last summer.
In hindsight there is of course a lot of mistakes I have done, that I for sure would have done different today. I guess that is called experience by doing :P
As many of you will notice right away that it is out of proportion. The monitor area is way to big and the CP to low.
I was thinking about a CRT, but then you have to choose either vertical or horisontal, and I didn't want to exclude any of them.
And besides that I wanted also to run Visual Pinball.
Most of the stuff and parts I had on shelf back home, but you all know that any kind of budget is crashed anyway once you start the build...
I guess hte female on the sideart is familiar, and yes it is Yuna. Maybe not so "retro arcade" but it fitted my vision and theme after beeing vectorized.
Having a friend at a local print shop made things much easier of course, regarding printing and applying the print on the cabinet. Some discount as well :)
Feel free to comment and ask questions.

I ADORE your (side)art! What is the side-art made of? I'm always amazed when people post cabs here with full scale side-art, as I wasn't able to find a single printshop in my entire province that could/would make me full scale side-art. Some would, but then I'd have to order a minimum of 50 or they would charge me a couple 100€ for it...
