Scorps Bartop / 2 Players / 18 Buttons - wip

[scorp.ius]

Hi!

A friend of mine and I am working on this since 08/2006.

I wanted to have a little Bartop (OK, actually it is not little  ) with a two Player CP with 6 Buttons (for Street Fighter II and such)

There is a 17" CRT inside and a 3000 Sempron with 512 MB Ram.
It will run Win XP and as the Frontend I will use a registered version of GameEx.
A 40GB HDD should do it . Perhaps i will expand this in the future.

Looking good!  Any plans for artwork or a color scheme yet?

not in detail

i perhaps want a Donkey Kong Jr. Sideart and a marquee that looks alike but not the original DK Jr. Marquee

the cab is more complete than on the pictures by the way, but i cant get my hands on the fotos i have made with my cellphone camera 
the marquee holding part i finished too

Looking good 

Could you tell us the dimensions of the cab!?

Waiting for more pics

Good luck with the build!

AAARGH! whatever i try - i cant get this  cell phone (a Motorola btw  ) connected with my PC...

you probably need their software to make the connections.

i have the software (mobile phone tools) but it is not working... i have tried it on two different PCs with the same result... tells me to connect the phone via usb - it searches for the phone saying that it will be automatically found and installed  and then  nothing...


it worked on my last xp installation (after some starting troubles ) so i keep trying... 

[scorp.ius]

ok... got it 

one little question: i have taken a normal IDE cable for the MiniPac.
the red cable is connected to pin 1 of the minipac pin two is the grey cable right next to the red one and so on to pin 40? nothing special about it right?

in the marquee i have used two 2mm plexiglas layers one normal transparent and one that diffuses the light. its the same as on a x-ray screen or a backlighted advertisment.

Another sweet bartop that I didn't see originally posted.  I need to check the Project Announcements more frequently.

Nice work.    More pics, please.

the marquee is made by leapinlew (thanks )

Calling it sexy would be an undersell. Great work!

Those speakers look a bit large.  Are you including the woofer and/or where are you going to mount them?

Any plans for control panel artwork?

Look'n good.

[scorp.ius]

the speakers are in the bottom of the marquee and arent very big... the subwoofer will be placed inside the cab.

here you can see the holes for them...
