Donkey Kong Mame Conversion
Rolpa:
Hello!
I originally had a large cabinet with a Street Fighter style control setup, but it was too large to put in our house. So I traded it for a Vs. Dr. Mario housed in an old Donkey Kong cabinet.
The game worked, albeit without sound, due to a broken amp. The cabinet itself needs work, including a full treatment of Bondo (which I purchased yesterday). The monitor is in fantastic shape though, with virtually no screen burn to speak of. The orientation needs to be changed, and that's about it. The plan is to put a an old computer with MAME on it inside, so I can amuse myself for hours on end. :)
I've already had a Donkey Kong marquee printed at a local printer and inserted it in the cabinet. Next up is to remove the PCB. I'm willing to trade/sell it, along with the marquee, to anyone who is interested.
Overall, it will take quite a bit of work, but it should be a fun project. :)
P.S: I obviously am in no need of the Dr. Mario stuff, so head over to my thread in Buy/Sell/Trade if you want part or all of it.

nice project :cheers:
are you gonna change the control panel to add more buttons?
BlasterMaster:
Please do not destroy that control panel! I will take it if you do not want it.

Pull all the original stuff out of it and just toss it. Then cut up the front of it so you can fit something like this on it. These cabs are a dime a dozen ::)
