I like it - well done on the build and video.

My art is always free for you to download and modify as you see fit...
Why?... because I could never find any art I loved on the net. So I played around with Photoshop and wish to share it with the arcade community.

Awesome video dude.

Oh yeah, that's not a bad cabinet either.  I really like it.  The artwork is fantastic.

Very nice build, but I gotta admit when I read the title I was expecting more out of the artwork... ;)

How wide is your control panel?  And how comfortable is it with two adults playing?

For the circle cutouts on the back, it looks like you rounded the edge.  Did you do that for just the outer edge?

Thanks!

Nice build!

Original project is http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepweecade.htm with minor change.

For a better comfort I have increased  the width of 5cm and  the depht and the height about 7/8cm. I think that two adults can play without any problems.

Yes only the outside
