ahofle:

I never posted any progress pics either (it was just another UAII cab, nothing noteworthy), so mark me down as scum too.  ;D


lcddream:

Just post a couple pics of your cab and get it over with!

Have ya seen digital cameras now a days?  :oIm looking at my wife's right now and there isnt a single spot that doesnt have buttons on it.  :dizzy:

Jack Burton:

I didn't post any pics or progress of my mame cab since it wouldn't have just been just repeating the same advice that's already here on the forum countless times.

mrjah:

I don't post any progress for a couple of reasons:

1) There has been no progress for a couple of years anyway, on account of bigger life events.

2) Criticism.

More on (2): As of a couple of years ago, there was a small but vocal group of folks here who would dump on a design that didn't bring a zillion innovations into the world with it.  Dunno if that's still the case.  But nothing KILLS enthusiasm for your first tenuous steps into the arcade cabinet world quite like some oversubscribed dope telling you your ideas suck because you're standing on the shoulders of giants, instead of building a colossal ladder from scratch.

I'm still lurking here obviously, and there are plenty of great folks with plenty of good info to share.  But it's hard to shake a lingering bad taste.

In the case of your buddy, maybe the guy is just shy, or isn't ready yet, or doesn't think his ideas will help anyone.   :dunno
