Wow. :notworthy: I love this cabinet. If I may ask, how long did it take to build? Frontend AND cabinet... |

Personally the different sized screens for each game would drive me nuts, so I don't think I'd ever use the virtual bezels but from an aesthetic point of view it's no less impressive. --- End quote --- Thanks! Appreciate the frank feedback. That is a tradeoff that one could favor either side of. I'm using different sized screens for each game because I'm integer scaling the screen, and many of the games ran at different resolutions. So if a game were actually, say, 256x224, I would probably go 3x on that and make my display 768x672 to have room for some bezel and to keep the playfield about right. Keeping it on the integer means there's a minimum of resampling going on to fit the LCD, because uneven resampling is what drives me nuts. Integer scaling also helps with making the scanlines hit the source pixels correctly. If different sized screens are what drives you nuts, though, it'd be simple to set up the art and .lay files to make every game have a precisely matching screen size, at the expense of the scaling being non-integer sometimes. --- End quote --- All good to know if I ever build an arcade project with an LCD which will be let me see.... NEVER :cheers: |

Very nice looking build. I really like the simplicity of the front end from what I could see in the video. Great thought to create a nice clean cab and let the marquee and screen do all the talking. :applaud: |
