Im a newbie but thats not to say I dont have some ideas as to what im doing.
I have yet to construct my cabinet, but as i have been slowly but surely gathering information and researching I feel im ready... Well its been 4 months now and I just wanna get it started.
I have a few issues that I hope you could all help with and im sure as the weeks go on i'll have a few more.
To date I have ordered all the main parts from Happs, ultimarc, hagstrom etc still waiting on my trackerball/coindoor to arrive.
Im looking at a similar design to the one i found on this site
http://netbox.home.mindspring.com/arcade/ So here goes i'll list my questions and see what happens hopefully you will be able to help.
1. Is there a way of starting my pc via the use of a push button rather than having to open the machine everytime i want to turn it on?
2. How would I light my translucent trackerball and coindoors Iv been told led's would work is this true and if so how would I power them?
3. I have 2x8 way and 1x4 way joysticks would a spinner be of use what games would I use this with (Paperboy,720?)and how could I conect this to my system im using the hagstrom ke72-t.
As yet these are the main issues bothering me but you can bet once I get this underway i'll open a whole new world of pain got a feeling this is gonna be a tricky project.
Thanks for your time - Marky
