Arcade Machine UnderWay

[roberts123]

I have started working on my arcade machine. I hace gotten a old Blizt cabinet from mccoy and have strated work on the control panel

[roberts123]

I have gotten the wiring started

[Gatsu]

looking good. are you gonna make this a Mame cab? or are you restoring it to a true arcade machine?

[mccoy178]

It is actually some old conversion from something else.  Everything should be original except the cp.  He's off to a good start.

i have been working on it and have got an computer in it and my control panel is done but i dont have a camrea with me so i will upload pictures later im having problems  with my i pac it isn't working right it will work and then it wont so in the middel of a game it just won't read anything if anybody could help me with this problem i would be happy

is your ipac PS/2 or USB?

if its USB it might be the actual port on your pc not holding the cable in tightly enough. If its PS/2....make sure the cables are really connected snug.

[roberts123]

i have plug it into all the usb ports and the green light comes on, on the ipac but it doesn't work at all now

[Gatsu]

try plugging it into another USB thats on the motherboard, not through the hub. it might be a power issue.

[roberts123]

i tried plugging it into a different usb hub and now it works when you press and hold in the button for about 5 seconds any idea what could be causing it

[Gatsu]

does the USB hub have its own power supply? or does it pull from the computer? If it pulls from the computer it sounds like its not getting enough power to the iPac.

try just plugging the iPac straight into the computer without any hubs.

[roberts123]

it is plug into the computer but it still has a delay

[mccoy178]

He has it plugged into the front ports on the computer case.  I'll try hooking it into the back.  Also, the problem seamed to appear when he reset the Ipac to mame defaults using the Ctrl+Alt+P method.

[roberts123]

Haven't posted anything in a while but my arcade machine is underway still i got a keywiz 40 from groovy game gear to get the wiring and my computer i had to reboot and i have taken my arcade machine apart to paint it again and it would be able to get into my room i will take pictures soon of it all

Also to get all the sides of the cabnet nice and smooth do you know a good sander that wont take long
