MAME in baby steps

Alright...some more work last night. Got out the hair dryer and got all the vinyl off the sides. It took some time but worked very well. No heat gun needed...
Also attached the encoder to my hacked ethernet hub. Going to build a small 5"x5"x2" wodden box to enclose it all in...
Just waiting for more garage time this weekend! ;D

I say paint it white. It is a neutral color (said to go with everything) and if you aren't a very good painter you can't really mess it up.

Edited - no bezels here
Did some serious work this beautiful evening. Garage wide open with Two and a Half Men in the background and a few Screwdrivers of the Vodka type.
First is a pic of the 1 Player mockup of the control panel layout for the joystick and 4 buttons.....

Next is the wiring 'under the hood' of the CP. This is my first go around at the wiring and all of this so I tried to do good by some of the examples that I have seen and buttoned it up as best I could in the small space. I am prety proud of it!

This is the part I am most proud of. This is my first large undertaking of wiring and soldering so when I completed the control panel I had to take a quick nip from the bottle for good measure.
-Plugged the Cat6 cables from the control panel to the Ethernet ports.
-Then plugged the ethernet port wires into the keyboard encoder.
-I then grabbed the Multimeter.
I had a second set of hands run through the inputs on the control panel as I had the multimeter to the bottom of the keyboard encoder. Long story short, I heard a beep every time that I should. That was a great feeling!
