-= MK new CPO =- or -= Just another arcade builders tale =-

[Rodman]

Mission:

As moved to my new house and finally managed to find room and time to create my home cinema / arcade / bar downstairs my long time companion Mame MK Cab was moved here and definately deserves some tlc.
It is in really good shape, besides the more than worn CP. So the mission was clear:
NEW CPO but please please 6 btns (SF2,MK3 etc).
Design: original o.c. - a little bit of customisation allowed.

[Rodman]

1st step - the fullsize (300dpi min) 6btn MK CPO file.

I really could not believe it but no such file reachable in the whole digital world around (!).

So - created my own ones:

now what went wrong over here.. ... so much measurements done - double checked everything - so what   


And there it was:

Just to make sure the printed CPO wouldnt be to small in any direction at the checkout of the printshop order i had added 5mm in every direction in size -----
which led to streching of the image and made it miss the holes 
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIE MISTAKE ---by the flying spaghetti monster's hairy nether regions!---
 

[Rodman]

.... so nevermind ....

thx g i had ordered 2 instead of one prints and did a little cutting and tweaking and swearing....

[Rodman]

So ...
at the (1st) end of my heartbreaking story i managed to stand in front of my cab equipped with 2x6(+2) shiny purple buttons on my own MK CPO - finally putting a grin 2 my face afterall 



Of course .... a new hopefully not streched print is in production and might hit my door any day...

Nuff said
