New Arcade Console!

[CraftyMech]

I have no idea what is going on here, but Yotsuya's mock-ups look amazing. I want one now!

I'll trade you a mockup for the prototype VGA to CGA adapter you're working on.

[Nephasth]

Good news guys! Just before I went to the hardware store to buy some tools to work on the new control panel, I found a box from that storage unit I bought, and it has all the tools I need! Score!

Somehow I missed this thread the other day.
 

Don't forget that each player needs 8 buttons on the cp.
not sure why but they just do.

And if that monitor doesn't have G sync,
You're doing it wrong

[dmckean]

I just realized there's no Tron stick in the mock-up. What good is an arcade machine if it doesn't play tron?

Where did you get that pic of B.B.?

[stigzler]

This is just fabulous.

Amazing!

Everytime I see that pick I think it's my dead cousin.  Looks just like him - dressed like him too.

[DaOld Man]

Sorry about your cousin SB...

But you know what would really set this build off?
If that screen moved out of the way (via hydraulics), exposing a claw machine.
You could stuff a bunch of Furbys in the bottom for the claw to pick up.
When finished, the screen would automatically (via hydraulics again) move back into position, ready to play some fantastic other game.

PS: good find on that twisty cut outter thingy Nephasth, Ive been looking all my life for something like that. You must be living right.

Thaks, OldMan.  But no sorries needed.  He actually committed suicide.  Interesting story actually.  He was one of those people who spent so much time trying to game the system that they ended up burning more energy and brain cells than if they'd just done the right thing to begin with.  He spent a couple years in our "Tent City" jail out here where they refused his medications (he needed a lot) and his body literally deteriorated.  Once he got out, it was pretty much irreversible.  His body was so screwed up that he just said "---fudgesicle--- it" and binged himself.  Eventually, he'd had a foot amputated, he was blind, wheelchair bound, no teeth, and a bunch of other ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.  He scheduled a massive "going away" party one Saturday night.  Once everyone had said their good-byes and left, he climbed into the bathtub and swallowed a 9mm.

We miss him, he was quite the character.  But to be honest, nobody was surprised he chose that way.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand!

I'd not bother with the control panel though.  That's so "last decade".  Get some accelerators, sew em to gloves, wire up a Bluetooth module and make VR gloves to control your games!

Welp.  That wasn't depressing in any way.

You heard the man. Let's see some more mockups yotsuya!

Don't be so negative, man! All these ideas are beautiful. They are all unique snowflakes, in a sea of arcade cabinetry.

I don't want to see mockups.  I want to see sawdust and panels!

I'm a little worried someone is going to actually build this thing just to spite all of us.

Neph is building it.

you need to angle the outer 2 players joysticks, but dont angle them in towards the screen, angle them 45 degrees outward.

Screw that, I'll angle them 90 Degrees so Players 3 & 4 are facing EACH OTHER and they can leer and sneer at each other like the 'roided out Marvel Vs. CAPCOM characters on the bad ass control panel I'm designing.

I feel the need to sneeze just looking at that.  MDF dust is the worst.  I think I even prefer drywall dust to MDF dust.

And it needs a camera! When a ball is approaching, both move out of the way for skeeball!

back on topic, uhhh, where is the touchscreen jukebox?   What are you going to listen to while playing?

I love how when this pic was taken they made sure to put a square down to give a sense of scale of the pile. Almost like a challenge to the next guy to make a bigger one. This screams for the need of good dust collection.

Looks like Rick after he's eaten a sandwich in his factory kitchen.

C'MON CHANCE, THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN FOR YOU!!!!1!!!

i'm crazy but i'm not stupid.

I also own a shop vac.

Based on the amount of MDF dust in that pic we can all agree that Battleship CPs are borne out of blood, sweat and near certain cancer.

The CP will be based upon Chinese aircraft carriers and will incorporate Skeeball.

[DudeRegular]

So where do the tickets come out?

[Nephasth]

From the ticket dispenser. Duh!

[yotsuya]

This. Is. Awesome.

[yotsuya]

Oh, and the real US 7th Fleet only has  10 active aircraft carriers. So the BYOAC Fleet is that much more impressive.

[yotsuya]

Can't wait to see the ---maternal-smurfs--- get inspired by this...

[Nephasth]

Back to the drawing board...
