This thread has been very helpful! I just recently got a Skeeball Too unit. It's in great shape but it did not have the screen, logic board and power supply. I was thinking of ordering the parts from skeeball, but when I saw they wanted just about thousand dollars for them I figured I'd look elsewhere to try something. That's how I found this and I think this would be an awesome setup. I ordered stuff from groovy game gear and it just showed up today. But I was wondering, with your software that you did, are you using the keywiz or the wiz+gp? I ordered the led-wiz+gp and now I'm thinking I may have needed the keywiz. I'm still waiting to hear from RandyT if I can get a copy of his software because I'd love to try it out and eventually try to do something like what you are doing. But it's been a few years since I have tried coding anything. Your project looks awesome and I can't wait to see your software when you finish. |

Hello. I have been watching this thread with interest. Congratulations on the recent wedding. My wife has tolerated my mild arcade game hobby and now thanks to your project I hope to pay her back. I have made a couple multi arcade cabinets and fixed up a couple old pinballs, but my wife loves only one arcade game and that is skeeball. Once I saw this thread I knew I had to make her a skeeball and finally get her interested in my gameroom. I actually am hoping to take the easy way out and fix up a junker skeeball if I can just find one for cheap enough. I have a pc, 15" lcd and have ordered the Keywiz from RandyT. Who knows how long it will take to find a skeeball cabinet. I was ready to spring for a complete working game but to be honest your software looks so awesome I have decided to just find a physically intact cabinet and run it with the pc instead. A skeeball that can play multiple games would be off the chart!! Of course that is under the assumption that you will at some point share your program with us idiots who dont know how to make our own. I once knew how to program basic back during the commodore 64 days but that was a long time ago. I will keep an eye on your project as I begin mine, and hope I might be able to send a donation your way if and when you decide to share the software you have created. |

I love coming back to this thread every once in a while, and everytime I seem to wanna read the entire thread again. :-) |

This is really a freakin' cool build. Very original. Really nice work. I love the use of the monitor for the score board. I probably missed it somewhere in the post, but will it be easy enough to get to your switches for adjustments as needed. I work on skeeballs for a guy and I find the switches do get out of wack sometimes. |
