Didnt have any issue trimming it, just messy. I did have some issue cutting it until I ordered a better laminate scouring knife, homedepot one could hardly scratch it. Anyways, IT LIVES. I put the monitor back in the other day and started rewiring the cabinet for Jamma. I still need to wire the controls and coindoor, but enough was done to test the Nebulous Bee board which came with a jamma adapter harness. Only issue it seems to have is an odd ringing during boot. Last night it gave me some issues which point to a video ram problem, but it looks like it just needed to be reseated in its socket as I left the game on for an hour or so today without the colored lines coming back. Probably going to wire a new adapter for my DKJR bootleg so it can work in the new cab too. |

Alright, after dragging this machine and parts with me through 3 apartments moves and finally a move into our first house I'm actually gonna try and finish this thing. Things that were done I never posted about. * Received the 4 way leaf joysticks and installed them * Got a new top glass, screen printed for Galaga, also set aside an Intel ITX setup for it. * Replaced old 25cent glass pieces for the door * Replaced lights with LEDs, red for the coindoor and white for the control panels * Replaced all the T-Molding And just this week I received an I-PAC to finishing wiring the controls to. I've ordered a HD7770 GPU, PCIE mount for inside the cabinet, and an SSD. Gonna be at least a week for the GPU to arrive, so probably won't do much else to it besides wire the controls up and test them on my laptop. |

Got the machine in a playable state. Running Windows 7 with a HD 7770, although I seem to be having some possibly sync issues the crop up sometimes when starting games with Attract Mode. |
