Here are some final still photos. Apologies in advance for anyone looking at this on a small screen. These images are big. Open them in new window or download them to see full size (about 400% larger than the preview here I think)







The small logos on the back spin off to reveal nuts attaching the rear door to the cabinet. The top and bottom arches are removable so the door can be lifted off exposing the monitor and related innards.

Can't express in words how amazing this project is....well I guess I just did.
Can't stop chuckling first seeing the cabinet on stage in the video.  I had to do a double take and rewind.

First, that's an amazing cabinet.  Thank you for sharing with us.

Second the video is great, a fitting way to complete the cab thank you again!

Finally, that's solid wood you used...holy crap how heavy is that thing?

I feel some kind of peace.
I loved the video.  Having no idea what you looked like, nor what the band look like, I was fooled until it became really obvious.


I may try to write a piece for this.  There's a great community at Gamers With Jobs .com   One of the hosts has also built a MAME cab, and a virtual pinball table.  You need to interview with them.

Once upon a time I broke my leg, got bored, went on the internet, found BYOAC and started a MAME cab.  Shortly after that I discovered the Mission Control Thread.  I don't know who started first, but we've both grown older, had kids, raised kids, etc since then.  ...though I finished before my kids were old enough to play.  They do like to play on it now though.


....I digress.

brilliant.  You have to get a dedicated link.  Your own hall of fame for this.

I vote 2011's BYOAC token has at least one side to commemorate Mission Control's completion.

Thanks for coming out of hibernation to post!

It's awesome to hear from people that've followed the thread from way back.
Since people drop in and out activity on the site as they complete their projects I was a little bummed thinking people who watched it in its formative stages would never see it done.  It's a blast to see that's not the case.

Word gets out even if you don't read BYOAC any more, man.  I expect you'll have old names popping back up every once in a while for a long time when they see you've finally finished.  Congrats!

Congrats on striving for, and achieving perfection! Such an amazing amount of detail went into this machine, it is mind boggling...! And thanks for documenting every step in such a detailed fashion.

I have no idea how you were able to stick with it for so long, without compromising your vision...!

Thanks for making the rest of us "normal" cab builders look like schmucks...  :lol

As someone mentioned previously - cocktail version? Would be pretty schweet to have it in your edit bay for entertaining clients while you are rendering...  You are still an inferno/smoke artist/editor right?

Cheers to a project that goes way beyond "well done!"   :cheers:

Yep, hence the compositing in the video.  ;)

As far as the cocktail goes... years ago I went to a demo at Discreet's Santa Monica office (back when it was Discreet... before Autodesk) and they actually had a MAME cabinet one of the engineers had made. I wish mine would fit in the bay! No time/patience for a cocktail build at this point, unfortunately   :P BTW, Drum.... noticed ILM is hiring at their Canadian studio in Vancouver. Just sayin.

Can't stop chuckling first seeing the cabinet on stage in the video.  I had to do a double take and rewind.

I'm glad that wasn't lost. It was the funnestestest part of tweaking the footage.

Finally, that's solid wood you used...holy crap how heavy is that thing?

It's easily moveable with two people and a dolly. And I can push it around on the (wood) floor if I can brace myself against something.

I pretty bad at estimating weight, but I'd guess 500-600 lbs.

@Mark70 I'll have to check out that site. Always looking for a good podcast for the commute!

So is that really nearly 8 Years since this thread began.....  :dizzy:

In 3 months!

Haha funny; I was at that Discreet office on Main St. as well for a Flame class way back when, but didn't see their cab; can't recall what year that was...

Thanks for the ILM tip, but I am more on the design side of post rather than VFX. And knock on wood, been gainfully employed as a "permalancer" for the past 15 yrs at a TV network here in beautiful downtown Burbank  ;)

I plan on bringing my Moon Patrol cocktail into my office once they move us next year to a new location.

Thanks for the mention in the video!

Mostly AE & C4D... I learned Flame and we have 8 Infernos but I never liked the Discreet software. Been using AE since the early 90's so I know it like the back of my hand.

Yeah, the Main St. office in Venice. It was at the bottom of the stairs.

Ah, my bad... it was Billy_Goatfeet that was the canadian Flame artist. If you count 1UP makes four of us in post production... small(ish) world.

Congratulations!

Hey, I seen I made the credits! way cool!

Awesome job, it's the best custom cab build I have EVER seen!

I'm kind of disappointed that you finished so quickly though, it sets a new standard of efficiency.

Hey Pixel,

I'm a big fan of 3dArcade and I think you were going to stick with that FE if I recall since it's so extensible.  Did you finish the integration of the custom skin to the cab?  I would love to see a video of that in action, especially how you manage the 'selector' buttons across the top etc.  Any more content coming along these lines?

Just a straight up Iphone video would do...It doesn't have to be a 3d animated flash application with built in holographic experience mode... but at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you went that route. :D

Yeah, more coming on that. It's not the easiest software to configure, mostly because it is so extensible and configurable. I've been waffling between two skin designs. One is meant to look like an old issue of EGM from the 80's, the other which is currently running, is meant to look like an extension of the cabinet design, so the button look matches the navpanel buttons, the borders match the bezel etc.

So far I've managed to get a custom gamelist created with (mostly) the proper 3D cabinets associated with the right titles and a reskinning of the default 3D arcade, remapping the wall textures with art from the marquee, the floors with a space station like rubber tile texture, and the ceiling with stars. Not quite the custom arcade I had hoped to build, but it's a start.

I'm still ham fisting my way through the various list setups and wrapping my head around that. Once I get it running I'll take a 3D steroscopic video for you to play back on your holodeck!

I'm popping in as well! I can't believe it, I never thought I would see the finished result  :cheers: That video was effin' hilarious! Serious dedication and unbelievable craftsmanship!

It was nice of you to thank everyone on here, and glad that everyone was able to keep you motivated to finish - even if there was a lot of  :laugh2: about it not getting done! But you did it. So cool that your kids can play this now, and be able to see the entire history of the project and how much work you put into it.

Now, I just hope I will get the time and $$ to get my project off the ground  :angry:

I picked some things I thought were funny in the thread from the years past:


Jan. 9, 2004

"Man, oh man, do I ever want to see the final incarnation."
    "You and me both! Hopefully it won't be long. Construction begins on Jan 28th" (2004)



Oh, the beginning..


April 21, 2004
"Then there's work, the remodel at home, and the new baby coming in June. AAAAARGH. Never enough time!"


I still say it was your other "side" projects slowed you down - books, videos, wait.. was there really a Mission Control movie script?


April 12, 2005
"There seems to be some misconception that the project is currently on hold. That has never been further from the truth."


Hold, slowed, delayed, whatever - it's done!


March 3, 2006
"Would anyone else be interested in a commemortative abridged hard copy of this ridiculously self serving thread?"


Did this happen btw?? :) If I wasn't worried about wasting paper, I'd print one of these myself.. perhaps a pdf?!


Nov. 11, 2006
"Well for what it's worth, I am still so addicted to the project that I'm currently checking this thread from a hotel lobby in Central America."


Dedication.. love it.


March 5, 2007
"It's crunch time now since we're hoping to have another baby this year or early next, before which point the project has to be completely finished."


...only slightly off the mark.



April 18, 2008
I plan on pulling out all the stops for the unveiling. Just. You. Wait.  Evil Again, if following the thread itself is boring you, don't bother. You'll know it's close when you see the HD trailer on the front page.


Predicting the future.. love it!


October 25, 2009
"Three years later I'm still inching forward on the original project and am already thinking the next project may not be  a cab at all after seeing Ben Heck's hand held 2600 and ColecoVision projects."


Any word on the "next project"? :)


Mar. 18, 2010
"I've lived so long with the images in my 3D app and the renders in Photoshop, it's surreal to see the actual thing looming up in front of me."


And just think, it was only 1 1/2 years later, it was done!


Thanks for the enjoyment of following this thread through the years.. it was so great to see it finished!

Little did I know at the time that turned out to be 2 babies simultaneously, and the project was only chronolocially about 1/2 done.

Little did I know at the time that turned out to be 2 babies simultaneously, and the project was only chronolocially about 1/2 done.

I can't tell you how disappointed we all were, hearing that your project would be delayed yet again.

"Would anyone else be interested in a commemortative abridged hard copy of this ridiculously self serving thread?"


Did this happen btw?? :) If I wasn't worried about wasting paper, I'd print one of these myself.. perhaps a pdf?!


I came to my senses, so it's morphed into the project website... I found a great Flash component that will let me build a large part of the project gallery and construction journal as a browesable magazine, so I plan on making it a hypothetical copy of an old 80's issue of EGM. Definitely not the most practical format for a website, but hopefully  appropriate.... :blah:

oh, two more things...

1.) Damn you for getting "Final Countdown" stuck in my head! :)

2.)

Yeah, more coming on that. It's not the easiest software to configure, mostly because it is so extensible and configurable. I've been waffling between two skin designs.


Wait.. so you are saying you are NOT done?!!?!?!?  :dizzy:

absolutely the greatest project in the history of this hobby. Beautiful in every way. Congratulations!

Is there a #2 in the works? A slimline model? A bartop? A cocktail?
