--- Quote from: rampy on February 17, 2003, 11:35:30 am ---wow.. really taking shape. The artwork/lexan etc all look very sharp. --- End quote --- Thanks! ;D --- Quote ---I'm sure this was asked before, but... why the downward button angle on CP #1? Just curious. --- End quote --- When I rest my hand on the buttons - my index, ring and pinkie fingers rest naturally in a down diagonal like the buttons - I tried different layouts (in cardboard) and this ended up being the one I liked the most - so others may have to get used to it - or they can build their own (heh heh) --- Quote ---Another question: When you play it does the bacsplash seem "tall" or the monitor elevated higher than usual, or does it just feel right or ???? --- End quote --- The backsplash may seem a little high on the trackball / spinner / tron panel - that's because the glowing trigger stick was too darn tall and wouldn't have cleared when rotating; but still seems fine, I don't feel hunched over or leave with a kinked up neck - I'll try and get some "action pix" of me in front of the cabinet playing to give a better height perspective of the monitor vs. the cp, etc. --- Quote ---I'm sure when anyways see's the mametrix no one goes, "hey is the monitor mounted a little high....?" they all say, "wow, hellah cool..." and " holy shnickeys the control panel rotates!?!?" =P --- End quote --- Actually you guys / gals are the only ones whom have seen it so far. Along with my father-in-law (building it in his woodshop afterall) and my friend Jeff. The wife and kids (3) did stop over last Thursday and checked it out - the kids didn't get a chance to play it - Mom wouldn't stop playing long enough ;D And to think she wasn't to keen on me building this... actually she now doesn't want it in the basement, she thinks it should go in the family room. I don't think I'll tell her the button to push for insert coin and make her use quarters (start the fund for the next cab) :P --- Quote ---Just wondering... form and function and all that. rampy --- End quote --- What no *shrug* ??? ;) Appreciate all the questions / comments - keep 'em coming bruddah' |

Well, 3rd CP is done (lexan, cpo, etc). Now, just have to install the 3 steel plates and I can wire this whole thing up :o |

Almost Done. 1 more joystick (the Tron trigger stick) and I can turn this beast on and see what doesn't work ;) Been way too busy with school this tri. Got another final this evening - Java is my life! :P Added some pix to the site. |
