Haha - hilarious, and your approach is noted for my own personal use in the future. My build-in-progress cabinet is up in my friend's shop and will be eventually migrating to my basement. It's no 6 person cab, but it's a still pretty big - we've had one "discussion" on it thus far, and I think I'm in the clear. The second and third cabinets that I buy/build though...

:)

Bluedeath:
Next step for you is to aquire a taito "ninjawarriors" or "darius" or even a "top landing"

Visitor Q:

--- Quote from: DeLuSioNal29 on February 19, 2009, 03:52:23 pm ---Yeah, I'm married... But here's how I did it:

I kind of broke it to her in stages. First I told her that I was going to look at a cab, which I did. Then she questioned where I was going to get the money for it. That's where I whipped out the "secret stash" of money that I put aside for just such an occasion. :) I then proceeded to get rid of some junk that was cluttering up my game room such as a futon which we never really sat on or used in the room.

But most importantly, I ended up bringing it home in "chunks". I think if I brought it home in one shot she would have freaked. But when she saw the panel and noted that it wasn't so bad she didn't really say anything. That's when i said, "You should see the whole thing... it's a monster". A week later, I got the rest of it (the monitor portion is still in the garage). She saw the rest of it and just shook her head and rolled her eyes and chuckled, but didn't complain. True love!

I'm guessing once I move it in the game room she will realize how much room it takes up, but it will be too late. ;D

Honestly though, she probably secretly thinks that I am just going to fix it up and then re-sell it. :angel:

Rumor has that there maybe a 8 player Xmen out there. :P

I'm reasonably certain that Mrs. Cheffo thought the same thing about my Asteroids cab ...

So, it's been a while, but I've finally returned to this project, now that the weather it nicer outside. (I live in New York). The main reason I waited until nicer weather: The other "chunk" of the cab is in the garage since I attempted to move it into the house and it did not fit. D'oh! :hissy: So I had to wait until it got warmer out in order to work on it in the garage.

In the meantime though, I have been working on the graphics portion. I've managed to reproduce the control panel overlay in photoshop and I'm about 80% done with that. I've been working with Scott at Mamemarquees.com who was very generous in helping me obtain the 4 player artwork so that I could convert it.

Great news for fellow 6 player X-men cab owners: Once I finish the design, Scott at Mamemarquees.com is going to offer it in his store for printing. :-) It will actually be an improvement over the original, since it will be laminated with the "ultra" finish that he offers. Very durable.

I'm hoping to finish up the CPO artwork this weekend. Then while I wait for it, I can work on re-connecting the PCB board and wiring. Again, the machine didn't work when I first bought it, but I stuck the PCB in my other Jamma machine and it worked great. So I'm hoping it's just a matter of wiring.

Stay tuned!
