53,XXX - not great but OK - I don't play it all the time.

OK, long time and no posts in this thread! I have been pretty much "done" with this thing for a while now but there are still some things I want to do to completely finish it.
Construction:
- I STILL haven't placed the $.25 stickers on the coin door
- I have to reorder side art for the left side - it completely came off and I think I know why (that side of the cab is next to a heat vent)
- I STILL haven't placed the long instruction sticker on the black bar above the CP (Any thoughts with what I should do here? The bar is painted black bu the wood grain still shows through which bugs me).
- I want to remake the back door out of 1/4" material and paint it black
- I want to somehow get a hold of a Nintendo Serial # plate for the back - my cab didn't come with one
There is a foot of snow on the ground so I can't really work in the shop (in my detached, unheated MESSY garage). I promised the wife I wouldn't start any new projects until the current ones are 100% complete so I better get going!
Software:
- Mala refuses to remain the top window but ONLY after exiting out of DK for the first time otherwise it works perfectly. I have several ideas on how to fix it which leads me to the next point
- I MAY install Instant Sheller - I also have to remove the XP start-up crap (welcome screen, logo splash, etc. - there are no balloon pop-ups - I successfully edited the registry for those).
- I think my gamelist is set. I decided to add a few horizontal games that I like and that are playable with my setup (Chicken Shift, Joust, Tapper and Jungle King). I also added a few vertical games that kind of work but the jury is still out (Gyruss being the main one).
- figure out how to control the volume from the CP (I think cabvol will work - maybe I can use the P2 start button as a shift key and then the hidden coin and pause buttons for Vol Up and Vol Down (any thoughts?).
- I may try and redesign the MaLa layout - I'm using the one from John's Arcade which is great but I think I may want more of a DK theme.
That's it, I think. I've been playing the cab quite a bit and my new high score is 125,600 which I think is pretty good. You need to get over 100K to even get on the high score list now. Also, check out the attached picture - I'm so proud!
Neverending Project:
One other thought I had regarding Mala losing focus... Do you have the Reorder Layout option ticked in Mala (see attached)? I found that when it was ticked, I had a problem with Mala losing focus. When it wasn't ticked, the problem went away. Although in my case there were other issues that required me to enable it. But have you checked this setting?

I haven't tried that yet - I will tonight and I'll report back. Thanks!! I'm working up the nerve to try Instant Sheller too - maybe after a few beers one Saturday I'll go through with it... :cheers:

Why so nervous about instant sheller? I've had absolutely no problems with it and everything it does is reversible. Also, a guy in the software forum made a program called quickshell I think that I've heard great things about, just another option.
Nice cab btw :cheers:
