A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
Hey Ryglore
Yeah, I just can't leave that as it is. Yeah, I could "say" it was intentional, but it really looks pretty bad.
I'm a little farther along with the cleanup, but I've gotten sidetracked into fabricated a copper and brass frame for the monitor and mounting all the embellishments and adornments (not to mention my "marquee", I gotta figure out how to steam bend some walnut, but Bender got me hooked up on an idea for that...)
I even took today off, but made almost no headway <sigh>.
Ryglore:
Ya, I know all about getting side tracked. There have been times where I had been working on one section of my build and then jumped to another section entirly for no good reason.
Personally I liked how it looked when it was clean and unweathered. But that kinda defeats the idea of it being an antique buffet....

Just read another thread here about a little gizmo I'd never heard of before
the ARFX light effects module

Whoa! Since my monitor is hanging out in front of the backing board of my cab (yeah, it's kinda weird that way), something like this could totally work for me!
This and those AimTrak modules and it'll be one hell of a christmas!
Ryglore:
Oooh nice! That's dead sexy for sure.
drventure:
I finally got up a 3 man game yesterday to try out the player 3 and 4 positions.
The fact that I angled the sticks.... Nothing bad one way or the other. It actually felt pretty natural for them to be angled.
The fact that I used MagSticks and didn't spring for 2 more u360's.... Ugh. Shoulda got the u360s.
Granted, i wouldn't consider myself a purist in any sense of the term. I loved the games growing up, but was never competitive or anything like that.
But the u360's just "feel" so much better. The magsticks do have a shorter throw and the "clicky" nature of them is certainly more old-school, but, boy, if I find myself playing positions 3 or 4 much, I'll be upgrading those sticks!
