Bella's Arcade [FINISHED]
javeryh:
Thanks!! Did you notice the slick MaLa layout? I've been lazy and I haven't replaced the black button background with the plain female icon background yet. ;D It's a pain to tweak stuff at the moment because the keyboard and mouse are just crammed underneath behind the coin door. - I want to get a wireless set so I can just pull out the keyboard and mouse when I need to do something and not open up the cabinet. It would be frivolous though and they are expensive...
I definitely want to remove the welcome screen - I'll try doing that tonight. There's also a screen from what I think is the video card that appears just before the boot screen. I wonder if I can take that out too. I also need to disable the screen saver - I noticed that after about 5 minutes I get an ugly sideways windows logo that floats around. I'd also like to get rid of the Start bar that flashes on the right for a second but I'm not sure if that's possible. Finally, I need to replace the windows start up sound with something a little cooler and arcadey. I have no idea what to make it though. Maybe I'll record my daughter saying "Welcome to my arcade machine" or something. I've been thinking about adding one of the "arcade ambiance" tracks to the background of MaLa for when you are browsing the game lists too.
:cheers:

One word: awesomenal.
You can really see the glossy shine on that finish!
But... what's with the black dust washer? ;)

Take a look at the Wiki http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Hiding_Windows This may help you with the final tuning of the boot up process. How about using the Frogger start up sound? There is a song called 'Froggy's Lament' that features that music.

Thanks! That black dustwasher is giving me a headache just thinking about it. It's one of those things that no one would ever notice in a million years but it's all I see when I look at the CP because I've become obsessed. I really really really need to figure something out. :cheers:

Ahhh, Froggy's Lament.... I know it well. I still have my original Pac-man Fever record! :cheers:

Get a can of spray paint and paint the dust washer pink like the rest of the cab.
