[G-Lix] Update 02
--------------------------------------------------


Made a G-Lix Logo based on the Vewlix one – might not be final but I like it 8)
Will put this at some point on the Arcade



Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440
Marquee Resolution: 1920x360
2560 / 1920 = 1.3333 ratio difference

So If I want any content to have the same size on both screens when looking at it – Anything I create in 2560x1440 would need to be downscaled by 75% (100/1.3333=75)

[G-Lix] Update 03
--------------------------------------------------

Hi! 8)

Update on my Arcade Cabinet Design v1
This is still Work In Progress, but I'm pretty much set on what the overall look of the G-Lix Cab should be

Inspired by Vewlix cabs, but Stand-up + a Marquee/Top that reminds the American style and some T-Molding at the Bottom
Modeled in Blender using a scene set with real scale values – this is mostly 3/4 MDF
I could export it as vector SVG but I will probably redo everything in Fusion360 as I want to have clean file for CNC



-----
Some features :
• Cup holders
• 5-1/4" Speakers
• Functional Coin Doors (microswitches for P1/P2)
• LCD Marquee

This is about 6ft H

Still a long way to go before I have it playable in my living room but I like where it's going

[G-Lix] Update 04
--------------------------------------------------

Hi!  8)

I built a 1st version of the Control Panel and also the PC I will be using
Control panel is mainly just to test the electronic and placement etc - PCB is an I-PAC2 - this will evolve as I have already changed some stuff - hardware except the Joysticks (JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK) are spare parts I had




I built a powerful PC as I mainly want to play current games - I'm using BigBox for the front end - I plan on creating a custom Theme later that fits better an Arcade UI (way later)
Specs:
CPU-Intel 13th gen / GPU-3080ti
2TB Nvme for OS/BigBox/Current games
6TB for all other Mame games, console emus etc
Alpine SPE-5000 speakers + Basic Amp


I also made some custom Marquee art - I plan on doing this for many games and probably animate some of them also later and make them available




My next step is to build 2 GUN4IR Lightguns :)
