Did you modify a matrix printer for it?

Heh heh, no, it is a stepper motor though but much stronger than a printer motor.  The unit has a holding strength of about 80 kg torque and is meant for industrial robots, CNC units etc.  The video makes it sound louder than it really is.  When I do the next series of tests it will be with the cab shell in place and at higher speeds so it will sound different again.  The gear set is from the biggest model helicopter I could find and pretty tuff. Very smooth quick turns through 90 degrees with no jolting is my goal. We'll see eh?

Attached find a pic of my rig in its current state.  It's definitely not finished yet (the big part being no artwork yet) but I finally got it functional so I've just been having fun playing it for a bit.  It's based heavily on koenig's Project MAME but with some changes to geometries and how some of the pieces fit together.  I needed something small enough to fit through doors cause I'm recently out of college and still in the apartment-hopping stage of my life.  Hope you enjoy!

It's running a 20" Dell 2001FP that is a natural 4:3 ratio and I think it works great.  I love this choice.

I'm curious to hear some thoughts about covering the unused area of a large 16:9 LCD monitor with a bezel when viewing 4:3 games.  4:3s aren't really available in larger than 19" (and even then most are 5:4s) but if you bought a 32" widescreen you could get a nice sized 4:3 image - but what do you do about the sides?

Oh yeah - Bella's Arcade uses a 19" 5:4 LCD and it works GREAT.

I'm a noob, but I seem to remember someone saying that some bling front ends have a way of displaying virtual marquees and/or game-specific control diagrams in the un-used space left over on a 16:9 screen.   ???  I wouldn't want to just cover that part of the screen up with a bezel of some kind...it'd be annoying having to take the bezel off if you ever needed to see the rest of the screen.

monitor is hann-g 28"  and 16x10 ratio. I resized the screen to 4/3ISH. very happy with the fbanext emulator's scanline filter.
