Star Wars Upright - Custom Cabaret!

<< < (5/21) > >>

DNA Dan:
There must be something in the roms that signal that level. The only reason I ask is that level in the game has a fixed duration. You cannot take a longer or shorter route toward the end. So if you could find something in the code that triggers the level, you could perhaps make this work. I am thinking the same way the "search" function looks for cheats in the game. Where's a computer programmer when you need one?

shrunkenmaster:
Trouble is, I'm using a mini DVD player for the display, I can't see how I'd get it to play even if you could dissect the ROMs and find a prompt.

Remember guys, it's just a bit of fun - I'm not building a REAL x-wing here!  ;D

If you can, please post the plans for your yoke mount when you get to that... I'm still struggling with that particular design (for an alternate control panel) myself.

Oh, the yoke mount. My yoke only has 3 bolts on it, plus they're pretty short. I tried to JB Weld some longer bolts onto it but for some reason they wouldn't adhere properly, despite following the instructions to the tee.

As you can see below, I made a cutout for the yoke. I will probably use some epoxy to glue the mo-fo in place.



This MDF bezel will have a sheet of plexi over it with cutouts for the yoke and the illuminated buttons. On top of this will go the artwork, more on that soon...

javeryh:
Cool project.  Some dude a while back made the crazy SW bezel out of wood using dowels and stuff - it came out great I just wish I had a link to the thread...

Have you checked the ROTJ Vector version? He scratch-built a SW cab with the bezel. Looks pretty easy to make:
