Shookie:
I am using the illuminated joystick balls from Ultimarc. I swapped out all of the joysticks with the LED's. Somehow, after I installed them, I damaged one of the connection jacks on the bottom. No idea what hit it or how, but I gotta order another one from Andy.

I applied the vinyl, installed the acrylic, buttons, joysticks, etc... I know some here hate the artwork. I like it, my kids love it. Wife loves it. That's the key ;)

All of the Goldleaf buttons had to be removed and I had to chisel some of the wood out. The threads on the nuts were barely grabbing the buttons. Would of been much nocer if I would of just routed it at the time. I checked and thought it would be OK as it so I took the shortcut. Luckily no one will be looking at it.... except those of you here.

Flipped the board over and started wiring. Gotta say, getting the harnesses and all of the wires already terminated is such a nice thing!!! I'm about 2/3 done as of now. More grounds and cleanup to do.

Just ordered my power supply, fans, surge protector, power switch, etc... I need to start computer shopping and figure out what front end I want to use, where to get the games, etc. I haven't read much about that stuff yet and have some work to do for sure.

Looking good Shookie! Don't worry about the art opinions. As long as you like it, all is well. More important then that, I hope the panel plays well for you! Curious what you all think after some intense games of marble madness.

Greenman:
I like the artwork. Keep building it the way you and your family want it. :applaud:

Shookie:
Question for everyone.... I added 2 buttons next to the spinner and am not sure where to wire those on the IPAC....??? I've searched and searched the site and couldn't find a definitive answer.

I found 1 post where someone mentioned splitting the wire to P1 Button 1 so that 2 buttons go to the same input on the IPAC. I have some spare connections since I'm not using 8 buttons for any of the players. I assume it can be mapped correctly for games like Arkanoid, but I'm not sure.

Appreciate input on this from anyone here, thanks!
