yeah - the scale on this thing is weird because it is smaller than a typical bartop with a 19" monitor. The side panels are 3/4" and they look really thick in comparison.
To finish these last few posts off, here are some shots of the CP installed. It is looking good, IMO.
Note that the blue dustwasher is temporary - well, it's the real dustwasher but the blue is just a plastic coating that will be peeled off. It is clear but I'm adding art to the bottom that will face up and will match the rest of the CP. I also need to figure out some button labels for the front. Not really sure what I'm going to do there but I'm reasonably sure that from left to right they will be:
EXIT ---- COIN/SELECT - START ---- PAUSE
I'll work on the monitor mount this weekend and probably wire the CP and get the t-molding installed. I also need to do a deep dive on how to get the ServoStik to talk to Retro Pie. It's getting there. :cheers:
Malenko:
lookin good billy ray!
Jimbo:
If you put coin select and start next to each other, remember to unconfigure that "exit" combination in retropie :)
Looking really nice mate!
Is that some damage to the CP overlay to the right of button 6? Or just some dust/marks?
I hope those magnets work out and the CP doesn't pop off just when you're about to get the highscore ;)
Gilrock:
It will be a bartop to be proud of. I like the artwork....lookin nice!

Thanks! Although I'm not sure who Billy Ray is...

I plan to do a fair amount of configuration in Retro Pie when the times comes. I want to get my own boot-up screen to appear, one button power on/off, hide the settings menu and some other stuff. My son requested some NES games (Tecmo Bowl, Baseball Stars, SMB 1, 2 and 3, and LoZ) so looks like it won't be arcade-only like I originally planned. If that's the case I may add a couple more standouts from other consoles but I'd really like to keep this thing to under 50 games.
Good eye - it's some slight damage from a spring clamp which I was really pissed about for a few days. It's not that bad though - only shows up in pics if there is a glare for some reason. Can't really see it at all in person but it's there. I've actually thought about ordering another CPO but lining everything up now that the holes are drilled would probably be too difficult.
Magnets should maybe kind of sort of be OK I hope. ;D

Thanks!
At this point I'll just be happy to finish and move onto the next project haha. These things always take me forever. :angry:
