Infinicade (fka My Cab Without a Name)
Hewskie:
wow! This looks great, I've got a question if you don't mind. How are you powering on your tv? Are you using a smart strip? Does your tv remember to be in video mode after you power it off? I'm hesitant to close my tv in with a nice bezel and glass because I havn't solved that problem yet.
Thanks

Thanks. I'm using a Smart Strip and the TV stays in video mode while off. That was a feature I specifically looked for when I was hunting for a TV for the cab.

Thanks. My favorite project postings are the ones with construction details and lots of in-progress pics, so that's what I tried to do (although I know I kind of slacked off during the CP phase).

Just a quick update to show off the vinyl decals from Pongo. The picture is a bit bright, but the decals look great in person!
(Also, I need to dust....)
Now all I have left is installing the monitor glass (which I'll do after I get the Aimtrak set up) and then the speaker grilles. Most of my cab time recently has been spent tweaking things from the software side.

Quality build, well done!
Really enjoyed reading though your progress ;)
Quick question about the TV solution - Does the TV rotate at all, if not how do vertical games look (galaga, galaxian etc)?
Cheers
