Wooden Candy/Astro City **Updated 16JUN10 [99% Complete]**
Sosetsuken:
Ok so i've nearly finished the painting on the cabinet (Only one last coat left)! Heres a few Pics;
Lookin Nice!
Controller Plate will cover holes and make everything look purdy!
Control Panel -> Xbox360 USB Pad Adaptor Complete!
Xbox 360 USB Adaptor Box and Astro City Control Panel complete! (Other wires are for coin buttons hidden underneath control panel lip ;) They will eventually be wired to a coin door )
I did get some bad news, my TV that I was going to use via RGB Scart died on me :(
BUT!! I was at the markets last saturday and found a Professional RGB Monitor with a SCART Input!! It looks about 10x better than the TV and Street Fighter IV through RGB looks awesome.
The front (this one in the images isn't mine, mine looks brand new!)
The Back (this one in the images isn't mine, mine looks brand new!)
The news keeps getting better, its larger, thinner and through MAME has 0 centering or Pincushioning errors on the video!!
It supports any 15khz signal I've throw at it through soft15khz (unlike the TV).
And it even handles 640x480i well without too much flicker.
Thats it for now, i'll update when i've done a bit more!
EDIT: I've gone with MameWAH as the FRONTEND. Its simple, plays Video Previews, looks nice and is not a system hog
Heres my layout;
Gatsu:
feel free to wrap that up and ship it to my place. It'll go nicely with my vewlix cab when its done. ;D
looking good man.
Can't believe you sprung for the full panel. I priced the vewlix panel and is like $400 or something retarded like that.
I could make my own, but I dont have any metal working tools. lol.
But I decided to use some modified happ parts (which some would consider blasphemous), but happ right now is easier to get....and cheaper. So...you know.
Anyway, thats gonna be a sexy cab. That'll have to be my next project.
Sosetsuken:
haha will do Gats ;)
Yeah I couldn't believe it either but weighing up my options (I don't have any metal working tools / time) plus I got the governement stimulus package at the time I thought what the hell hehe.
Yeah I was gonna go for Happ parts, i'm still gonna use Happ for the Credit buttons on the underside of the control panel. i'm watching you vewlix with anticipation ;)
Sosetsuken:
Ok paintings all done. I've reattached the front doors, installed the speaker covers, installed the control panel (not screwed in yet) and placed in the marquee plexi! (Still has protective cover on).
Heres some pics;
Side
And now heres how it looks atm;
Heres a rough mockup of how I want it to look;
So not much left to do, just waiting till next pay day to place my mamemarquee's order. I've still gotta wire up the speakers, sub and control panel. And mount the TV and thats it!
Cheers :D
