Wooden Vewlix Fighter - WIP Round 2

(1/4) > >>

Gatsu:
Greetings to all.

Some of you may remember my first round trying to get a vewlix cab built. Came a long way and ended up having to scrap completely due to storage issues.

Well after about half a year or so...I've decided to try again. So this will be Round 2.

The cab will be a Vewlix style 2-player cab with a swappable control panel. 1 panel will be sanwa japanese style parts, the 2nd will be happ style stuff.

The only real design change I'm making to it from the previous time is that I'm adding a coin door under the control panel next to the access panel. And its going to be all black with some red highlights instead of red & white like the traditional vewlix.

Its gonna be a long project because I'm a lot poorer than I was when I started the first project, and I have some expensive parts to buy....a new tv (the one I planned on using died), and find a Jtagged xbox that runs MAME and will let me play games off the hard drive. So gonna have to scrimp & save to get this baby really going.

I've already gotten some of the project built, as I managed to save a couple pieces from the original project. Just have to sand and re-prime them. So I'll post pictures of that this weekend hopefully.

I'm also working on a couple of arcade fight sticks so I'll post some pics of those when I get that started.

Ooooo, exciting.

I followed your original Fighter cab thread and was hurting with you at the end.

Re. the Jtag xbox, just have to find yourself an xbox with a dash version 14699 or earlier. If its later you can still Reset Glitch Hack it but there are some pretty nasty boot times with RGH2 if you get unlucky with a fussy xbox. Might be an idea to get hold of an xbox sooner rather than later, might save you a lot of hassle later on.

emphatic:
Better luck this time.

I have one that takes 3 minutes. NO LESS LOL. same falcon chipset usually have instant boot time with RGH1.

Gatsu:
I may not even bother with a Jtagged box then if its a lot of trouble. Only benefit is not having to swap discs.

I've got a PC set aside that can run Super Street fighter IV AE and SF X Tekken, so the rest that aren't on PC I can just have the disks for xbox. No biggie.

I've gotta spend this weekend and get my work space setup. I haven't had a chance to yet because of weird weather changes. Sunny for a couple hours then rain the rest of the day. Don't wanna start priming then get caught in an afternoon shower.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a affordable 1080p LCD television thats about 32" that has little or no lag/latency for fighters?
