Thanks I learned a lot about painting at work. Oil based paint and primer. Foam 4" mini roller. 1 coat primer. Light sand. 3 coats paint with light sanding after first coat.

I thought it was laminated when I was first scrolling through the pictures.

R type
Darius
Contra
Bazerk

I've never really looked into it but there is already an all killer no filler list so isn't it able to be filtered using your parameters?

Mike A · « **Reply #86 on:** March 31, 2021, 01:41:41 pm »

Rygar

Those cover many various categories and control types. Too much filtering for me, I failed 9th grade lol. Just looking for personal inputs

Ah yes that should fit in well

Gilrock · « **Reply #89 on:** March 31, 2021, 02:37:28 pm »

Well I can't remember how many buttons these all use but I was thinking of games I remember like:
Golden Axe
Altered Beast
Magician Lord

Golden axe an altered beast use 3 buttons I believe, but magician lord looks up my alley.

Map magic to both buttons pressed at the same time on Golden Axe. Problem solved.

pbj · « **Reply #92 on:** March 31, 2021, 02:52:06 pm »

Or, hear me out, make it 3 buttons and remap your games so that Ghouls N Ghosts is like Attack - Jump - Attack.

I like the first idea better. I'm dead set on 2 buttons. Though I thought real hard about a genesis or neo geo theme.

Gilrock · « **Reply #94 on:** March 31, 2021, 03:09:54 pm »

I guess you are trying to stick with the 2 buttons from the Ghouls and Ghosts panel? Sure would be nice to have 3. Usually we are talking people down from 8...lol. With 3 you get all the Metal Slugs or do the 2 button combo thing pbj suggested for grenades.

I like a small limited game list. Gives me a reason to build another one. If I added another button now I would have to change the theme or It will bother me.

Ninja Kid 2
Tiger Road
Rolling Thunder

If you change your mind about a third button:

Chelnov
Psy-Co Nics OSCAR

nice clean paint scheme.
love you matched the side art background to the t-molding.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #98 on:** April 02, 2021, 09:06:37 pm »

Got the marquee and kickplate in thanks to Lucian045. Rints came out great. Wish I made the kickplate a little taller, and the 2 ghouls n ghosts does bother me a little bit but I can live with it.

Also I got some light bleeding under the cp but I can fix that.

javeryh · « **Reply #99 on:** April 03, 2021, 10:28:26 am »

Looking good. That is such an awesome marquee. One of my favorites even though I am absolutely terrible at the game. Not too much left to do now I bet. You are really moving fast.

I'll be honest I've never made it out of the first area. But there is an old video game saying "get good" and get good I shall. Saving the control panel for last. Just tweeking the art so everything lines up.

Best part about these cabs is I can still pick it up by myself. Managed to get it inside. The front porch stairs were the hardest lol.

Great looking lineup.

Looks right at home there. Job well done! You also have the perfect setup to do the mirrored arcade room look if you want like in the mimic build thread.

javeryh · « **Reply #104 on:** April 03, 2021, 05:18:47 pm »

These little cabarets are so perfect they almost make me want to get rid of my DK. I could put two of these things in the same place and cover a lot more games.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #105 on:** April 09, 2021, 07:51:31 pm »

Hey check out what I got today. Should be able to wrap it up this weekend. Just need to prime and paint the bezel, route out the joystick area. Put it back together and toss in a computer.

javeryh · « **Reply #106 on:** April 10, 2021, 10:04:18 am »

Looking good. The CPO is so simple yet it just works for this cabinet. You are flying through this build.

Thanks. I like the way it came out. Trying to blend the bezel with the cp was tricky so I got rid of the skulls and stuff that was part of the overhang, but I didn't want to lose it all together which is why I converted it to a kickplate.

2 years ago today I finished the galaga. I just might be able to finish this one today. My router broke yesterday. I snapped the locking shaft over tightening a bit. So I had to cut out the insert for the joystick mount with a hammer and chisel. 1 plus of the mdf is that it is real easy to chisel.

So true. MDF is fun to chisel.

I thank you. If you didn't start your build when you did I wouldn't have this in my living room right now.

javeryh · « **Reply #119 on:** April 14, 2021, 12:28:57 pm »

This thing came out great. Really nice job!

How does it work? You just power on from the back and MAME boots straight to GnG? I don't see an exit button on the CP so I guess there's no menu or anything that you can accidentally back out into?
