Looking good jay. I know all about those baby deadlines - I missed mine and I've been stalled for 6 weeks! :cheers:

Thanks Javeryh, at first I thought it was funny that your number of post/days drop dramatically because you had less time for your Bella's project, but soon I realized that this is no laughing matter... So I better finish the uroMAMEstyx before November 21st... :-\

Now, for the update...
------------------------------------------------
I've put aside the artwork for now, because ... I suck :badmood:
I'll work on it this weekend...

Last week I reinstalled the speaker (pic#1)
Tonight, I've installed the coin door in the cabinet (pic#2).

The coin door has a 12V counter on it (pic#3) not essential for the cab, but since it is there, why not use it. So I followed clhug circuit (pic#4).
In my case, it will count only the "real quarters", since the "coin bypass" will be a shift key (using the shazam key + P1/P2 start)

Then I simplified the circuit for a 2 player cab and I redraw the circuit to take into account the 6pin connector coming from the coin door (pic#5

After that, I use my "not so good" soldering skills and build the circuit (pic#6)

The next steps
- verify the circuit connections.
- add molex connectors to the circuit.
- test the circuit in action.

That's it for tonight :cheers:
Jay

Kaytrim:
Cool a fellow solder hacker. ;D Have fun and keep at it. Even though you have about 3 months left it is the software side that takes a lot of time to get right.

TTFN

Thanks Kaytrim for the feedback.

The software part is already in progress.
I already have few emulators up and running through Mala.
I still have to install my 2 LCD topgun and the LEDwiz.

I haven't tested the circuit yet... I'll see that later.

Project update : first marquee trial.
well, it's a fact. I'm a Photoshop average Joe :cry:

Here's my first trial for the marquee. I'll eventually use that marquee to replace the "humping uro" on my CP overlay that was posted before and that Coder make fun of ;D

I posted that image in the artwork forum to get as much feedback as possible.
(including source images...)

If you have any ideas, comments, hints, recommendations, please tell me.
I NEED HELP!!! :-\

Good night
Jay :cheers:

The circuit does not look right. It looks like it will trigger a count when any of the buttons are pressed.

The software is great to do late at night in the living room and/or kitchen table. It gives your wife the illusion that you are there, when you are actually so involved that you can't even hear her. Not that it's happened to me.

Good luck with the Photoshop work.
