Project Space Arcade! [Updated 12/16/08]
mybrainhurtz:
I made some more progress since my last post:
First, I have finished my MaLa layout.
Here is the background:
And here it is in action:
It started out as the Pixel Assault layout given to us by Organic Jerk. I took some images from my marquee and scanned side art and then edited his layout file and photoshop document. I am really pleased at how it turned out. (notice the icons next to "Arcade"... those are from pics of my actual cab and controls :) )
Second, I got the first prototype of my new control panel this morning!
The biggest problem that I can see from just looking it over quickly this morning is the space between the two rows of buttons. I guess it was lined up in the machine wrong, and by the time he noticed it, the holes were already being cut.
I can't wait to get home from work tonight and see how the controls fit.
I am finishing up configuring/collecting emulators, roms, screenshots etc and should be done soon... Once the control panel is finalized, all that is left is get the marquee and cpo printed! Oh, man... I can't believe I'm almost done with this project!
As always, check out the project blog for more info and pics.

Well, last night, I put all of the controls in to see how they fit and to see if it fit in the cab with the controls installed. The panel fits in the cabinet, but the button holes are too big. They were made to be 1 1/4 instead of 1 1/8. The buttons just barely fit in the holes without falling through. After a few changes, it looks like I will have prototype #2 early next week! woo hoo!
Stay tuned...
