Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments on the art! This project has been addicting and I am actually a little sad that it's coming close to an end. So....must do another of course! I'll post new pictures soon where there is more significant progress. Right now the speaker grills are bothering me because they are 1 inch in depth which make the look HUGE and a little distracting on the cabinet. Not a fan. It's cool to see so many local guys here. I may check into Makerspace in Carrolton. I might actually have been there at one point of time for a VR Meetup. |

Man, I gotta visit you guys more often. I've really fallen off my forum game! Anyway I did that "Smash Fighter" build. Glad you liked it! Borrowed heavily from ChanceKJ and his amazing work of course. The only major modification I made was some adjustments to his side templates since I found his original design put the control panel at around 40" off the ground. I extended the screen bezel area some to accommodate a 16:10 screen and lowered the control panel area to around 37" off the ground. While I'm not a huge fan of the book your RPO artwork is flippin awesome! Love it! Can't wait to see your build completed. EDIT: +1 for Hypespin. It can be a pain but once you learn it it's not so bad and you can get some neat customization going. I love it! |

Both Chance and scoodidabop (The creator of Smash Fighter) paid my post a visit. Probably should scratch that off my BYOAC bucket list (Sorry to be geeking out). I removed approximately 2" from the panels as well. I had my kids try to place their hands on the control panel and it seemed a little high. Can't have that! Also, Hyperspin is the way to go for me. I think I have a hold of it now and it's all about configuring the son of a gun which I do in the evening. |

Get some Hyperlaunch bezels set up and some HLSL CRT emulation. Adding game manuals in Hyperpause is pretty fun too. I use MESS on many of the home consoles for the added HLSL effect. Oh btw I have a Future Pinball Hyperspin pack that I'll upload over there soon in case you use that emulator. I have a couple hours worth of work remaining on getting the art assets cut out. It's about 150 tables of videos, wheel art, etc with about 50 dedicated themes. The art on your cabinet is great! I can get some decent collages going but that's about it for my photoshop skillset. Did you get your buttons yet? Paradise Arcade had a major move and I had some huge delays with them. Original ship date was late June (before they moved) which was pushed to early August, which was then pushed to... well... hopefully this week. Susan is really nice about it but they're a bit slower than usual right now. Just keep that in mind if you haven't ordered those buttons and RGB LEDs yet. |
