Midway Pac-Man Cocktail Build (5/30/12 Update - Finished)
CWorley:
Well, the control panels are 99% complete if you don't count the wiring. The black screws currently being used for the joysticks will probably be replaced by the black carriage bolts that I just ordered. The dust washers also need to be replaced. The inside holes on them are too big for the smaller shafts of the GGG True Leaf Joysticks. I'm looking into making my own. At that point, I'll decide if I want them above or below the control panel. If they would be above, they'd be small enough not to cover any of the directional arrrows.
Wiring up the control panels and getting the software ready will be the next step when I have time.
I've attached some pics of the nearly finished control panels.
Cheers!

I like the idea of black washers under the control panel. maybe washers from Sanwas would fit right.
Just a thought, but what if you put the black dust washers underneath the cp and then if you wanted something up top, you can put on small clear ones. I've seen these small clear ones somewhere but I can't remmember where.

Not much to update at the moment. Haven't had a lot of time to work on the cab, but I'm currently trying to get the software finalized.
I hope to install the computer in the cab and start wiring everything in the next 3-4 weeks.
Is there some kind of Mame cab checklist as far as the software goes? I really want to make sure that everything is 99% ready before I put it in the cab.
Cheers!
CWorley:
:::UPDATE:::
About 99% finished with the software for the cabinet. Just need to use a shell program to boot right into Mala.
What is being worked on currently:
* Installing the motherboard, psu, and hard drive
* Installing the power jack, outlet box, and smart strip
* Installing an intake fan at the bottom of the cabinet
* Installing the power jack and outlet box
* Installing the power button (I'm not sure where to put this. I'm using an extra Midway start button.)
I've attached a pic of the brackets being used to install the hard drive and the jig being used to install the psu.
Cheers!
