leapinlew:
I have resolved the CP labeling blues. Elementary really. Use the Klingon alphabet. The benefits are two fold
1. If they don't know klingon, they won't know it's upside down
2. If they do know klingon, they won't mind if it's upside down
I'm thinking most folks will fall into the #1 category. You can thank me now if you like. ;)
Kaytrim:
This is really looking like it is going to turn out nice. :cheers: Now get busy on the artwork so you can close up this bad boy.
Be on the lookout for a new announcement thread from me in the next week or two. >:D
TTFN
psychotech:
Oh, well :)
leapinlew: that's just it! Thank you so very much :notworthy: .. Do you accept cheques..?
:laugh2:
Still, that's an awesome solution ...for someone else's Star Trek dedicated cabinet ;)
Kaytrim: Thanks! The more I get done the less "graphics" the CP seems to need.. We'll see? And as it happens the machine is closed as I'm writing this. Far from ready, but closed for the very first time (1980's Madonna...).
Still have to install quite a load of software and stuff and make all the software and the remote control speak the same language, etc. etc.

You can count on that. I'll be lurking somewhere stage left ..as always :)
Anyway, thank you both for the comments on the project. Might even get something done this way ??? Maybe.
One small update on the project:
Psychotic? Every other progress picture shows a different machine.. Anyway, this time it's a Pinball W.I.P. I'll replace the red side PB with a black one.

PS. (Comments or) Questions ? I'm really getting lazy, so if there's something ..do ask ;)

Alternatively: Look, no hands (Look, no brains ;) )
Sidetracked ..BIG time.
In no hurry to finish the main control panel...
............
Back in the middle/late 1990's when not all the ("cheap") PC's were able to play DVD titles with only their CPU power I had this decoder board with a remote control unit.. and I never threw it away even after it grew obsolete.
Ten years later: Jukebox/Pinball. Yeah, no use for the decoder board, but.. add PC Remote Control (http://www.pcremotecontrol.com/info.html) & the old RealMAGIC RC/receiver combo..
The RC software is quite easy to set up, at least on Win98SE.. So. I'm all wireless now*. And it all actually works :)
At the moment I've set up the machine to start with Mala and SK Jukebox. Full controll of all the jukebox features (plays all music & video files I've tried, so far..). If I quit the juke I'm back at the main MaLa interface, with options to start MAME/Visual Pinball or the Jukebox ..or to watch movies/concert videos, etc.
* On the first announcement post I listed a wireless FM transmitter. Maybe I should have written "a wireless RADIO transmitter" instead ;) ? At the moment all the audio comes out of my main amplifier/receiver set - no wires. Maybe all this (FM/RC) has already been done to death, but still..
Later. On the air..
