Punch-Out!! restoration (Complete!!) - new bezel!
Spyridon:
The problem with the normal freeplay settings on Punch-Out!! is that once enabled, the screen sits on the click start button. No attract mode. Not the ideal situation. Thanks to a KLOV user, we can now have freeplay enabled with attract mode. It just requires replacing two roms.
8K and 8L need to be replaced:
with the new roms:
Works great. Just hit the KO button to go to the start screen
Here is a link to the freeplay hack
Spyridon:
Chuck 777 over at KLOV worked with a local glass company to recreate the Punch-Out!! bezel.
I got mine in today and it looks great.
Comparison to original:
Bend was just about an exact match to the original (original on the left)
New bezel is slightly thicker (about 1/16th) then the orignal, but much heavier. Size is correct and the black border is perfect (original on the right)
The only real difference I see is around the bend. You can see in the picture above, that the distorted area on the new one is much wider than the old one. About 1 inch wide compared to a little under 1/2 inch.
Here is another look at it. The area in red is the distorted area:
Original:
New:
Hard to photograph well but in the end it really doesn't matter. That area is between the monitors so it doesn't impact the game play at all.
Overall recommendation - These are great! If you need a replacement, I think you will be very pleased.
And the money shot:
WunderCade:
Man that looks like a minty PO. Perhaps you can do a showcase shot like Phet does, the whole completed cab by itself - like you are shooting it for a flyer.
Anyways, I have a question. Do you clear coat the sides after you apply the new side art, or before, or both?

I did not use any clear coat on the cab.
Wade:
Stunning. And the new glass is the perfect final touch!
