My 1st Bartop

(1/3) > >>

Midcoastsurf:
Actually my first mame build ever.  I have been lurking on the board for a while in this is an amazing resource!  Here is where I am at.  I am basing this off of the plans at:  http://bartoparcade.katorlegaz.com/

The monitor is a 20" LCD and this will be a 2 player, 5 button setup.  The cab will be filled and painted once I have the top and back all connected.  Not sure about graphics yet.  The monitor is sitting on plywood in the picture so I could get the proper height to measure the monitor support piece.  More pics to follow as the work progress later this week.  Where do people buy their piano hinges for the back door?  I found one at Home Depot, but it was about 6 feet long and around $8.  I only need an 18" piece.

The computer is an AMD 2700+, 2.16ghz with 2gb ram.  Will these specs run any of the VPinMame tables?  If not, then I won't be adding flipper buttons.

How about just cutting this 30" one in half?

You might need to stick to lower resolution and/or older tables to make them run at full speed.

There are lots of VP8 4:3 tables on VPForums.org that should run just fine.

Midcoastsurf:
Scott, thanks for the link.  I'll have to look for that one next time I am at THD.

Looks like I'll add some flipper buttons then.  Thank you for the comments!  I guess I have been spoiled with running VP9.

Good luck for your bartop. Why did you use plywood ? It is plywood, or am I mistaken ?

Midcoastsurf:
@Eldritch1969

I used plywood because that is what I had lying around.  I will be filling in holes and what not before painting.  It seems most people here use MDF though.
