Ian's BurgerBoss project thread

<< < (6/6)

DaOld Man:
I like this project. Neat idea using the cartoon arcade as a template. I like the arcade in the cartoon, not real crazy about the cartoon though.

Season 1 of Bobs Burgers is one of my faves! The animation and comedic timing is wonderful.

Still haven't checked out GroovyMame, but I will. Here's where things are tonight, after much confusing arguing with my damn video card. Go to hell, 9200SE.

BEZEL!


DONKEY KONG! rCadeGaming, the sound is wonderful. It'll be interesting to see however putting up the marquee mutes the treble frequencies.

Current status:

Got the piece I needed from the cabinet's original owner to mount the marquee! I don't have my BurgerBoss marquee done yet, but it'll be finished before too long. Vector graphics are still fairly new to me, but it's coming along. I'll be able to play some games tonight with the old Roc 'n' Rope marquee in place to see how that effects the sound.

New computer is in and running. Some of my resolution stuff doesn't work as well as it did before, but at this point I'm pretty happy with how it looks and how playable it is, so I'm probably pushing the proverbial pause button on the graphics stuff to focus on more fun things, like finishing my control panels and- *gasp* -playing some games! The big one lately is Donkey Kong. I never gave it the time of day before, but now....

Got the Quarter lights running. I'm using the same 20oz bottle top mounting method that I used before, just now each top is holding an LED christmas light. Sure it looks a little tacky from the inside to have a string of lights in there, but a) it works really well and extremely easily, b) it lights the inside of the coin area as well as underneath the monitor, where my computer and interface live, and c) who gives a crap what it looks like on the inside? Functionality is key. The fact that my friend and I have spent a good 15-20 hours on Donkey Kong in the past week says something about how functional things are right now!

The panel with the speaker mounted to it now has a volume knob. It's on the right hand side, out of the way completely until you need to use it. Works great! I have it wired in parallel with the potentiometer that was mounted to the PCB in that speaker cabinet which means it buzzes when i turn the new knob down. It's annoying, and when I feel like getting into it, i'll just unmount the original pot from the board and leave this new one as the only one. That should fix it.

That's about it. I'm rounding third and heading for the plate...
