Hyperlaunch? Try disabling it for mame. The option is in HyperHQ somewhere under wheel settings. I believe this will resolve your issue.

Thank you so much

Big help!

Stunning!

That is one fine looking cab! i could look at these pics for ever, you should hire a fashion photographer to do a photo shoot!
(not that there's anything wrong with your pics)

Good job sir!

Thanks! Im really pleased with myself

I'll be sure to upload some pictures of the whole thing assembled.

Wow! Love this cab!

The lines are great and the artwork really seals the deal.

Dalgaard · « **Reply #83 on:** April 16, 2012, 12:18:01 pm »

So finally im done

Here are the final pictures:

The finished arcade

Another one from the front.

Note the matching mousepad...heh. Couldn't resist ordering one of these.

Call the dictionary people, I just found a new photographic entry for retrochic! That thing is the hawtness!

TopJimmyCooks · « **Reply #85 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:57:04 pm »

before I read the mousepad note I thought you had printed art for the inside of the keyboard tray.

Excellent execution. Fresh and clean. Just need a pic with a girl with a big feathered hair-do and roller skates on playing it and you're done.

Vigo · « **Reply #86 on:** April 16, 2012, 03:13:12 pm »

Haha....that made me think of roller skates as well.....so retro-stylish! For a simple design, that is really stunning artwork!! Congrats on finishing.

Dawgz Rule · « **Reply #87 on:** April 16, 2012, 04:24:46 pm »

Absolutely love it. Love the artwork.

Dalgaard-

I love everything about the cab, but my eye keeps getting drawn to the edge on your control panel. It looks really sharp in the photos. Do you have issues with arms resting on it? Or does it just look that way to me?

I've never actually thought about that. But you're right...it is really sharp. But the panel is big enough that my hands never go anywhere near the edge. It hasn't bothered me one bit

How do you make love to it without hitting the exit game button?

Haha...actually that was one of my big worries. Well...except the lovemaking part

I was worried that people would frequently hit the exitbutton when standing infront of it. It hasn't happened yet though

asch75 · « **Reply #90 on:** September 02, 2012, 10:21:27 pm »

Dalgaard, I simply love the Starcade cabinet; ¿Would it be possible to give me the measurements of the side panel?
I want to start my first cabinet build and the Starcade is the inspiration I was looking for.

Thanks!

Woodshop Flunky · « **Reply #91 on:** September 03, 2012, 05:10:19 am »

I missed you finished pictures... this looks outstanding! Great job!

How did you manage the volume with your two buttons ?

Felsir · « **Reply #93 on:** January 27, 2013, 02:39:15 pm »

Awesome! That would look great in my studio.

rCadeGaming · « **Reply #97 on:** January 28, 2013, 01:20:19 pm »

Wow amazing cab. Very, very clean.

I have those exact same Logitech speakers. The sub and amp are decent, but the speakers themselves are a little too strong on the treble and weak on the midrange. Those car speakers surely sound much better. What you did is exactly what I would've done.

Yvan256 · « **Reply #98 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:45:56 pm »

Really classic-looking profile and very sharp retro-style artwork!

kahlid74 · « **Reply #99 on:** January 29, 2013, 10:43:00 am »

Dalgaard · « **Reply #101 on:** January 30, 2013, 05:13:41 am »

Wow....still warms my heart, that so many people like my little project. Thanks for all the nice comments. Im really enjoying this arcade and play it more often than I thought I would

I've also installed some lightguns now, which opens the door for even more gaming. The guns are kept inside the arcade and I bring them out when I need to play lightgun games using the USB on the front. I didn't want to "scar" the cabinet by adding gunholsters or anything like that.

I've set the volume up and down to different keys (e.g. A and B). Then installed a small program, that translates normal keyinputs to most functions on your PC (in this case volume up and down respectively). I can't remember the programs name at this point, but if you need it let me know, and I can check for you

The car speakers definately give a good authentic sound in my opinion

Im sure if I'd invested in some more expensive carspeakers the sound would be even better. It was a surprising easy fix to use carspeaker instead of the original speakers.

Yes could you tell the program ?

I love this cabinet! The artwork really finishes it off. Great set of build photos to see how you did it all too.

If it's any help, you can do this with a minipac as standard.

What's the thickness of your side art vinyl laminated foil?

Hi,

I know its been about a year since you finished this project, but I just wanted you to know that I have been reading through this whole thread and really enjoyed it. Your cab is amazing. Hope its still up & running & providing fun. It looks great.

thcnunz · « **Reply #109 on:** May 03, 2013, 01:00:40 am »

Your cabinet looks unreal mate! I hope mine turns out anything remotely as cool as this!

Dalgaard · « **Reply #110 on:** May 03, 2013, 03:38:05 pm »

Thanks for the continued support

My cabinet is still up and running!

Im planning on building a new one soon

I dont know the exact thickness...its really thin. Like paper thin, but then I've added a strong laminate on top of that.

Hope that helps.

ark_ader · « **Reply #112 on:** May 03, 2013, 07:50:44 pm »

Looks fantastic.

sabreerbasAlpha · « **Reply #113 on:** May 04, 2013, 07:44:47 am »

My son saw me looking at this build a few minutes ago. Now he wont shut up about wanting one in this style/colour. Here we go again.

The cab itself looks sweet my friend. I love the clean lines and the art work is great, my son is a good judge trust me. And we both love it. Very nice job mate..

Chris John Hunter · « **Reply #114 on:** July 02, 2013, 05:18:26 pm »

Amazing build. The artwork is awesome. I can only aspire to build something so good.

Hi

First off I have to tell you, your box is simply beautiful.

Im' planning my own build and I am currently in the research / hardware collecting phase.
The WAF plays it's part in my upcoming build and I want to keep things to a minimum like you did.

I live in Denmark as you do - it would be very helpful if you could let me know where your side art was printed
You mention that you stuck a strong laminate on top of your artwork - what was used, and where did you purchase it?

Looking forward to your reply
