UberCade Update: laminated CP & smoked Plexi
<< < (3/5) > >>
rampy:
FWIW I just played some vector games and I think they show up fine...  the black and white vectors are a little bit muted - which I guess if you really really want things authentically bright smoke plexi is taking you in the wrong direction...   but let me put it this way... I wouldn't kicked smoked plexi version of vector games outa bed...  (whatever that means)

*Shrug*

For those of you playing at home... I've updated the Diary of A Madman quasi step by step journal of how ubercade came together... it's not totally done, but i've written up a signifigant part of the project.

Voodoo?!?  As SirP told me once, "It's a camera, light doesn't lie!"

Seriously, great job on the improvements to your project...  Are you planning any other "tweaks"?

new tweaks? hmmm  A dedicated 4-way j-stick... maybe swap in the ball top 8-way leafs instead of the x-arcades (or get some p360's and replacement ball tops --- damn you OSCAR, filling my head with idears)... and finally removably mount my star wars yoke!  I need to take pics of the DOT spinner knob on there, if that's what you were getting at =P

heh, I was insinuating that the camera was lying just that I preferred the monitor mount masking properties best (rather than the color filtering)... and fwiw camera's do lie... you put up enough soft white-white light, fuzzy lens, and pancake makeup and Barber walters almost looks human.. *almost*.

=P

Very nice improvement Rampy!!

I do have a question about the plexi thing....

My cab doubles as a TV (thanks to my all in wonder card) and a DVD player.  Would the smoked plexi make those images look darker or distort color??
