javeryh's Woodgrain Cabaret Copy

Well... it works. I rebooted this morning and it is behaving as expected. Absolutely nothing on the screen until Hyperspin menu pops up. Perfect. I keep waiting for some sort of error though based on how things have been going until this point.
This afternoon I'm finishing up the coin door wiring - I don't have clips to hold stuff while soldering so it's a huge pain. I just read about "tinning" a connection where you add some solder to one wire and then heat that up while holding the other wire in place so I'm going to give that a try.
After I finish wiring I'm going to start messing around with HLSL for some decent scan lines.
Anyone know why game selection in Hyperspin could be laggy? The P1 start button instantly responds when I'm in a game but I'm getting a pretty big lag when I select a game from the main menu.

Before going crazy with HLSL, try in mame.ini --> effect scanlines
Works well on my VGA crt monitor 640x480

So just change effect scanlines from 0 to 1? That's easy enough to try.
So here's where I'm at:
Still have a bunch of small things left to do but making progress every day:
- figure out scanlines
- mount smart strip on inside wall
- make some sort of box to cover the main outlet on the inside (would cardboard covered in duct tape work?)
- finish coin door wiring (just need to connect wires to iPAC2)
- make and install coin box
- install glass over monitor (its ordered)
- swap out yellow coin returns for red ones
- add LEDs for coin return buttons
- add Atari serial number plate (anyone know where to get these???)
- make and staple instruction sheet to inside of back door (I want a written record of how to add games, get to windows, etc.)
- (maybe) make instruction cards for each game that pop up when game is paused (long term project)
So not too bad but the last bits are always tough to get through (especially with a playable cabinet!).
:cheers:

BGFX scanlines are really easy to activate aswell,i think there less resource hungry too.

or crt-geom-deluxe.I use these on a lcd and of course you dont need to add curvature. Another option tho.
