Party-Box...Countertop cab w/ laptop & flat screen

I like World Class Bowling. The game play and graphics are much better on Gutterball however. I also like Shuffleshot, but it always had a sound "stutter" on my last cab. Hopefully it will work out on this new machine.
Andy at UltiMarc is sending me a new Ipac. The one I've got is defective. It should get here in the next few days. I hate debugging electrical problems !!!
In the mean time, I'm playing with a custom skin for Mala as well as figuring out how to configure it for both Mame and Windows games. As pretty as GameCreatures images are (that's an understatement), the colors don't work for my cab plus I need more playtime with Photoshop.

I tried gutterball, and the graphics are great, but I don't like rolling the ball by pushing a button. I like the way World Class Bowling uses the trackball and picks up on the speed & spin when you roll the ball. Does the downloadable version of gutterball work like that, or is it "click" like the web version?

You also get the speed and spin with Gutterball. You hold down a button, draw back the trackball, then roll forward while letting go of the button. The direction and speed the ball goes is based on the direction and speed of the trackball when the button is released. While the ball is rolling you can affect the direction somewhat with the trackball. It models inertia well, making it challenging to control. It is always a hit when we have parties.

I'm thinking of going with Mala for the front end menu. I like the cool features you get for the menu lists. Below is the first draft of my background image configured in Mala. Comments?

I'd probably start with a bolder font - this one's getting lost. Have you browsed 1001fonts.com? Using the screenshot as an anchor is a good idea, but it needs a frame, preferably something that contrasts with the blue that dominates the rest of the menu. Feel free to hit me with any questions you have.
