koo. i cant wait to see it finished. Will be mario kart gp theme to keep it arcade style or a diff mario kart?

ant2:
Mariokart7 side art. Will use red, blue and white for the colour scheme.
Probably enclose the screen in plywood, vent holes at back and speakers inside.

ant2:
This seems to just take ages.

You can see some of the pics of what the side art will be. Ive replaced all screws with panel pins on the sides as they are the only thing I can use in hardboard that will recess or be flat.
Hot glued hard board where it joins each other and sanded.

Had to extend the cp section out as it was too far away because the seat cannot go all the way forward (hits left support). Took pics of Test mounting wheel, seat and screen this time.

Need to finish wheel wooden base template and glue that. More screws in wood that wheel mounts too to secure.  - *done*

Sand, fill sand on right side.  *1 pass done*
Sand edges near cp
Want to make a small button box left and or right of wheel for credit, start/view buttons.

This is my first post at this site.. I usually hang around jammaplus. a lot of Good guys there.. But looking other places to see people that have many of the same interest that I do..  I wanted to let you know that if you really wanted to do the work.. I could show you how to make the REAL arcade game Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 and 2 work for it.. I mod game systems and the soft modded wii can run the game just fine..  The arcade game came out the same time Double Dash did for the GameCube.. Why is that good? Because they both use the same engine to run the game.. In terms of modding for the wii it is called a Wad.. You would place the wad into the modded wii that will allow the triforce engine to work.. Now since the games creation it's actually upgraded to quad force..  When you go into the games they have to be played with a game cube controller. Also there is no leaving the game without rebooting the system.. But does have a save point before doing so.. If it did HD, you'd have it made. It runs at whatever res the wii is set to.. And as a bonus, there is an arcade game F Zero AX that works with it as well..  Nice to see someone pushing forward on a build model. The easy way out would be a wii u and Mario kart 8 with HD already.. The wii u is a pretty nice system actually..  Far far better than the media and the people that don't have it give it credit for.  You can get triforce to run on a PC but need a pretty strong PC to get good frame rates.. I'm actually looking to add the real game to my collection. At this time I have 11 arcade games in my arcade. 5 of them sit down racers.. Good luck with your Mario Kart racer..  If you go to YouTube and look up user Shawn Powell and Mario kart arcade gp  you'll see some footage with it being played on my older big screen TV.. Plus some of my arcade collection a little while back..
