How are you going to hand the boot on this?  Is it still running the DS OS?  It would obviously be nice if you could get it to boot straight to the emulator.

Hey there LT,

It is coming together very nice.  At first I was wondering how the 5mm MDF was going to look.  I thought that it might be a little too thick.  The CPO/Bezel looks awesome!  I also like your mini marquee.  Are you going to create faux t-molding?

Have you found 5mm T-molding? Will the marquee be backlit?

I haven't found or even looked for t-molding yet. Do you know of a place to get some? 

The marquee will be backlit, yes. I'm going to put a couple of LEDs in the gap between the top and bottom marquee panels.

You can kind of see the little spot where they'll fit, here:


The coin door reject "buttons" will have lights too.


Hey there LT,

I wouldn't worry about the ball top.  I think that it looks great!  If you went for the replica side of things then the buttons would have to be microtac switches and they don't work well enough to be arcade buttons.  I kind of like the buttons you have in the CPO now.  How responsive are they?  Anyway sir, lookin' great!  Keep it up.

Amazing work LT!!!
If you decide to use T-Molding, I wonder if you could use the stick on T Molding (from T_molding. com), and trimmed it down to the width of your edges?

Good to hear from you Ken, I was worried you may have dropped this project.
I cant wait to see how this baby turns out.
Painting the edge will be good, I liked the way your antimatter machine turned out.
Maybe tape the edges and brush on the t molding enamel paint (Im thinking model car paint) to get a thick shiny finish?
Oh well you know what you are doing.

Looks great, loving the little marquee retainer, what is it made of? Glad you are getting back to it. I always think of your little guy whenever I am working on my cocktail.

I got another phone for mine and I like it much better, but am saving it for when I go abroad so I have a manageable project in the limited space I will have.

My condolences as well.

Im sorry for your loss, Louis. But don't give up the Faith.
I lost my father about 35 years ago, and my Mom 16 years ago. I wasn't close to my dad, my mom raised me alone, so of course I miss her more, but still I know what you are going through.
Hang in there man, and holler if you need anything.
