Twist's POWcade: a Mario Bros.-themed MAME Bartop! *IT'S DONE!!*

<< < (8/11) > >>

EndTwist:
Minor update today.

Finally got my artwork from MameMarquees -- looks and feels fantastic!

(Pardon the phone & book on the left and right, needed to hold it open)

I had to trim it out myself because I got them both printed onto the smallest CPO MameMarquees had available, but that wasn't anything a sharp exacto knife couldn't handle.

I also got my new cam locks:


and installed one in the back door:


I got that handle from the Illinois Lock Company, as the door is a little "sticky". Works great and doesn't interrupt the look of it at all (plus, it's the back...).

Also built a small AutoHotkey application that does play and coin counting. I don't plan on making money on this machine (as that would obviously be immoral), but I wanted to be able to insert coins while in MaLa, as well as have coins transfer from game to game.

The implementation is pretty simple, but it lets me drop in coins during any part of play/selection and it will be recorded and carry over into any other game.

Just for the record, I won't be distributing this application, so don't ask me. I'm aware that the community looks down on apps like this because they can be used for illicit commercial purposes, and I understand that.

lettuce:
Looking good, one issue you may have is with the Mag-Stick, if there too close to a display the magnet in the joystick may cause problems with your display, just giving you a heads up

Paladin:
Magnets shouldn't effect an LCD monitor.

Great job!

DaOld Man:
Thats a beautiful piece of work!!
That app to keep track of credits would be great for my non-commercial mame arcade..
(Not that Im asking for it :) )

Timstuff:
Looking good! I can't wait to see it with the art applied.
