All good points. I try to avoid fetcher creep. My goal it to have this look like a original DK and would like to keep it to just 4 way vertical games with 20ish games. This will be going live in the game room of my dad’s Elks lodge, they are trying to attract new younger members and duds in there 50’s would qualify as younger. I’m hoping to add one or two dedicated cabs. I keeping an eye out for a cheep 90’s cab as I want a fighter. |

I would also use the GGG Pac-Pro leaf joystick and leaf buttons as a lot of those games will play best with those controls. Nintendo joysticks and buttons are best for DK, but would be frustrating for almost everything else. |

Wether is getting nice and I have a week off work coming up, so am planing to get back to this. Goal's for spring brake: * Get it working as with the SF board. * Get it gutted for stripping and paining * Start Bondo painting Anyone have any advice on molding, control panel, and side art? This will have to be on a budget so am willing to go a little cheeper on the side art as I can easily upgrade it later if I'm not happy with it. How ever, I do plan on taking my time and spending the money needed on the paint and body. I'm definitely a little torn on wether to do an original stile CP or one of the two player versions. I want it to look original for the out side but it will be a MAME build for an all thriller vertical classics setup. |

Glad to see you are back at this. :cheers: Instead of paint have you considered laminate? The Caribbean Blue looks very good on a DK cabinet. https://www.skyskipperproject.com/lets-talk-laminate/ My only suggestion on the CP would be to find a joystick that works well for games other than DK. My daughter is a purist and demanded we get an authentic DK joystick for our Fix-it-Felix build. The Nintendo games play fine on it but the other 4-way games (Pac Man, Nibbler, etc...) not so much. |
