Cameronj:
Thanks! I love bubble bobble. Hey I love your gameroom!!!!! Very inspiring.

theCoder:
I love the side art.  You mentioned 3 failed attempts.  What went wrong?

Have you weighed it recently?  How are you doing on your 60 pound goal?

Cameronj:
Well attempt 1 I screwed it up in the laminator.
Attempt two I screwed it up trying to glue it to the cab.
Attempt 3 worked though.  :applaud:

Haven't weighed it recently, but I haven't put in the monitor yet and that will add the most. I think I am still on track for the 60 lbs. It will be portable like my old CPM Kaypro portable.  ;D

Cameronj:
Status Update (for a while)

Well I am going out of town for almost a week starting tomorrow so I thought I would post a few pics and thoughts of current progress.

Things done since last update:
- Purchased a Dual core Mac Mini for the Brain
- Designed Green Machine Graphic overlays for the Mac
- Installed Windows XP on the Mac
- Tested the Mac with the Ultimarc Mini-Pac
- Fixed all Trackball issues
- Installed Trackball in CP
- Fixed wiring problem in Mini-pac harness
- Installed cold cathode green light behind marquee (goes with the flourescent)
- Made a 12V power supply for the cathode tubes

I am having a few problems with my T-Stick. It seems to get a little stuck when switching between 4 and 8 way modes. I wonder if I put it back together wrong??? I hope not. It isn't major, but a little bit of a bummer.

Things to get done in the next week
- Not much due to vacation.... (But I am taking the Mac with me)
- Install MameWah
- Install AtomicFE
- Decide which one to use.
- Install my MAME Roms
- Upgrade my Mac memory
- Install Mame
