MKX Dedicated CAB - Best Arcade in Show - 2016 Texas Pinball Festival - SOLD :(

Cool art man, I like the x-ray effect and the switching of one of the dragons on the side art is a must.

IMO you should lose the the "MORTAL KOMBAT" vertically spelled on each side of the front dragon.  You don't need it to say Mortal Kombat again since you have the marquee.  It would look cooler with just the rock background without the words.

Agreed.

I don't know, I say keep the Mortal Kombat... Isn't it being over the top kind of the point?

I say he spells out the words "Mortal Kombat" using LED buttons...

Agreed.

I'm on the bubble about this one guys, considering it goes with the X on the dragon......i agree on the repetition though, i might have both way printed out to see which looks better.

[yotsuya]

It's a nice cab, bro. It's good. But I agree the extra words are redundant. But HBM brings up a good point... if you're gonna go full MK, you may as well go full MK.

[HaRuMaN]

Never go full MK

[rablack97]

im actually absorbing the relevant comments, the Mortal Kombat might actually end up looking too small and the lava rocks may be the best route, when it put it together i noticed the opening was barely 2".

So it might end up w/o the verbiage anyway....

[rablack97]

This stupid thing got me on Freakin TV.....Dammit

Paul shout out to the minorities on the forum for making it to the big time...........

Is your party light going to show through those lava rock windows?

[rablack97]

nope, won't be bright enough man, i'm putting light boxes behind the the lava rocks marquees.

You could make it say FINISH HIM.... although that seem a bit gender-centric for today's modern MAME machine...

Dead serious, i just go there to work on the machine and this station was doing a spot on the MS.  The new guys was intrigued by the machine and when he came back asked if he could ask me a few questions about the build.  Next thing you know i'm on TV.

Looking like a tore down mule on crack....

Obscure movie quotes I guess.  I'm sure Zapcon is going to ruin a lot of preconceived notions of voice and appearance, though by now I've actually seen several of you mofos on here courtesy of Yot's pics etc.  In my mind though vwallbridge looks like corybee,  so that's one that's still to be revealed.

Back on topic though, since you're shelling windows have you already settled on the final games list or are you still adding support for other systems/games?

Man you ever been a member of a makerspace?  Trust me if you haven't then there are no surprises when you meet people.

We are all a bunch of hybird nerds is what it is.......

No, this is for MKX only nothing else going on it, as i already have a full blow mame machine.

I found a nifty way to have windows seamlessly boot directly into a full screen video like hyperspin, then boot up MKX.

Kudos to you, bro, for making it a dedicated machine and resisting the urge to turn it into just another MAME cab.

Learned from my bros.....

That was the intent from day 1 Paul, to do something different a little off the wall but refreshing to the hobby.

Let's not go overboard.  He did put 5.1 in it.

True, but 5.1 isn't as bad as seeing him play Dig Dug on that bad boy.

No what I did was put a good sound system in it for $80.00, and it sounds awesome, and the surround sound effects are actually noticeable.  I'm sorry you prefer 2.1 with no flexibility in range of sound or maybe even just 2 speakers connected to a kinter or lepai amp.  If I wanted baby sound I would have went that route.

So what I got with my 5.1 was way better sound, a remote for volume, so I didn't have to put a knob or extra button in the build for voulume control.  15 different decoding variations for sound adjustments.  Once again all for $80.00.  So it wasn't a oh I gotta have a 5.1 it was wait for about 30.00 more than a micro sound setup, I can get a deeper sound quality.

To Paul's point im not playing dig dug on this thing in mono.  Next time I build a pacman or something I will ensure it has only 2 paper cone speakers and baby amp to appease you.

Did you not see the    ?

I was crackin on them, not you. (EDIT: although I did try to talk you out of 5.1)
 

My cab has an Asus Xonar sound card, silk dome tweeters and a custom sub enclosure tuned <30hz.

Haha looking good Rodney! I have to say rablack97 had a specific vision of the artwork and specifically told me.

"Stay away from the Sub Zero and Scorpion artwork....that stuff is everywhere"

So first thing I gave him was a marquee with subzero and scorpion on it.....he was not impressed
