OK so you guys may have seen my mini Mr Do machine I made in October.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,26939.0.html
A few people I know have been hounding me for machines so I broke down and built one for someone.
Here's a 1/3 scale ms pacman I put together. Not an exact replica but pretty close I think. Did this one in about 30 hours.
- PII/500
- 128mb RAM
- DOS 7
- ATI Rage II
- SB Live PCI
- 17" monitormounted vertical
- keywiz eco
- dmame 6 something (i forget)
- custom side and kick panel art I revised from artwork I found to fit the cabinet. a little expensive to print but really sets off the game.
- still debating on a very simple but cool front end that will work vertical and have a list on one side and screenshot on the other. not loving arcade os and gamelauncher layouts.
the machine is about 4' high and I put some 2" casters on it which are a little recessed underneath so it's probably about 4'1" - 4'3".
Sorry. not nearly as many photos as the mr DO project but I'm building another one of these next month so I'll document it.
sorry for the blurry photos.. the flash was giving the thing a disgusting look so i was shooting without flash.
looking at it now.. it's lacking a nice ms pac bezel .. but i literally odered the side art for next day dellivery and had to pay 100% rush charge so I tried to kep the sq. footage to a minimum.
next one will have the 'woiks'. haha
i'm also a little vexed at the fact that there's seemingly no way to have all the functions necessary to operate the emulator (pause, coin, tab, etc) without having a <auto-censored> load of buttons on the CP.
