--- Quote from: Jdurg on December 16, 2007, 04:42:49 pm ---As I've mentioned countless times before, I have just started the construction of my first MAME cabinet. (Got a friend to help me out, and just found out that my dad would love to help me as well). I started out by getting the controls I needed from Happ controls and Mike's Arcade Parts. (Mike's supplied the four-way joystick and Happ everything else so far. I still need my spinner, trackball, and IPAC, however). Anyway, I've put together a mock-up in Cardboard to see how the layout would work and how many buttons I can move to other places. I'm REALLY happy I put this mock-up together because I realized that I planned on putting far more buttons than I needed to on my control panel. Many of these will be elminated and/or moved to an admin panel hidden on the sides of the CP. Anyway, one thing I've done is assembled one button with the microswitch and hooked up a mock-crimped disconnect to some 18-AWG wire I have. The thing is, I can't stop pressing the button and feeling/hearing the click. I've got this button next to me while also viewing the control panel and I keep thinking "God, I want this cabinet done right now". Am I weird for doing this? Did anybody else do anything crazy like this while preparing for their first cabinet build? <click, click, click, click, ---gosh-darn--- I CAN'T STOP PRESSING THIS BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!> :D --- End quote --- Mate, my cab is in a very early pre build stage. My CP and PC are not in the cab at teh mo but my admin buttons are installed (Put them below the CP - out of the way of prying hands). But every time I go to my parents house and see my cab I say hello baby and press a few of the admin buttons to hear that click ;o) You are the only people that know this ;o( |

just out of curiosity are you obsessive compulsive? seems like a tick to me. (Dr. stealth is in the building ;D "and how does that make you feel") eh, who am I kidding I used to do the same thing with pens in school... all my switches be leafs (I did that on purpose) but I'm sure if I had micro switches laying around I'd be clicking away! |

You know, I might be slightly OCD. At work, every day I MUST play FreeCell, Hearts, Solitare and Spider Solitare and win every day. For Solitare, it has to be a score of 6000 or greater. So yeah, I may be OCD. ;D As for the microswitches, when I was growing up I remember the buttons and joysticks in the arcades making a "click" sound when I used them so I had to get the microswitches. Most games were with the volume so loud you couldn't hear them, but I remember playing SF2 and hearing the "click-click-click-click" when I threw a Hadoken. :D |
