So what exactly is a hacked romset? That means they are just roms and were never released as original games?

I got the marquee lights installed today..quite the process it turned out to be..I'll add some pics tommorow!! I just need to cut the monitor bezel and it's good enough for now. I'm going to buy some new buttons as well. I won't be doing any CP decals or paint until spring when it warms up again. Now to find some decent priced carts to add to it!! Thx for all the help Malenko! I'm sure I'll have some more questions for you sooner or later hehe

Here's a few pics with the new marquee lights. I just used 2 flourescent under cabinet style lights. The whole light pivots so you can point it whichever direction you want, up to a point. I had to cut away some of the wood in the front to let the light through. The lights just have standard plugs on them. I drilled a hole in the back of the cab 1 1/8 to allow the plugs to plug into the powerbar. The powerbar is mounted beside the machine and one flick turns everything on or off. I need to reprint the metal slug 2 marquee because I used photo paper and it barely lets any light through. Anyhow enough babblin here's a few crappy pics.. I was too lazy to get the tripod out for some steadier shots..sorry haha

Can you take a picture under the hood of that marquee. i have to do the same thing to mine. Just wondered how you mounted the lights and how much of that board you had to cut away.
On another note. I see you have a Lund boat in your garage. You bass fish? I have a Ranger 519VX in mine and I had a Smokercraft in mine, but my buddy is keeping it in his garage for me until I can get it sold.

Sure no problem...I had to cut away ALOT of the wood..I'll take some pics tonight for you..I just unhooked the speakers and pulled that wood piece right out of the machine and used a jigsaw to chop it down to size..
We fish for salmon, rainbow trout, brook trout, that kinda thing. I'm in Southern BC Canada. We actually went Sturgeon fishing a couple months back. Huge friggin fish!!
