| UberCade Update: laminated CP & smoked Plexi |

Looks great but shouldn't there be a SW Yoke somewhere on that panel? ;) |

I'm curious how vector games (Asteroids in particular) look through the smoked plexiglass. Are they too dim? I asked this on the original smoked plexi thread and never got a clear answer. I'm off to Japan for a few weeks soon, but when I come back I will finish my cabinet and am thinking about smoked plexiglass Your Cabinet looks much better with the finished control panel, good job. |

BT said:Looks great but shouldn't there be a SW Yoke somewhere on that panel? Oh there definitely *should* be... I still haven't devised a way to make it easily attached physically to the control panel... current higher priority items are: getting the software situation squared away (I have a faster cpu now and am in just windows and it's got me all screwed up), wiring up the spinner... someone asked about vector games and smoked plexi It looks "ok" to me but it is kinda dim, although I haven't futzed with it that much... really depends on the game too... (color vectors vs bw vector) with the bw vectors suffereing more... I'll do some play testing tonight and futzing with antialiasing and brightness controlls... (I'm using a 21" SVGA monitor btw) I'm not a vector game nut/purists so what's good enough for me may not be for you... I'm perfectly content as long as I hear obi wan say, "use the force luke..." and can play star wars... *shrug* i'll post a follow up tonight rampy |

The new cp looks a lot better than the old one. how are you liking the smoked plexi? i'm waffling on that... --- End quote --- Thanks Frosty... Just for the record it's the same panel, just laminated and t-moldeded =P rampy --- End quote --- Yeah i figured - i just meant the finish looks a lot better with the overall design of the cab. That finish makes such a difference. Was the smoked plexi expensive? I want to try it out but don't want to spend 80 bucks and then not like it. |

Frosty, it cost me 31 bucks for 1/8" smoked plexi at a local glass place cut to size... (approx. 23" x 24") I have no doubt it would be cheaper at a general hardware store, but you'd have to find one that had smoked plexi (I had zero luck with that) *shrug* I'm not sure about all the image smoothing / color voodoo that oscar had going in that thread, but the bezel/monitor mount hiding is what sold it for me... rampy |
