Hello everyone,

I've been working on a replacement for my Micro-MAME cabinet.

The name of this new cabinet is MVS99-6. Some people will be able to deduce something from that name alone.

I've done all the plans with Google Sketchup. In fact without Sketchup I don't think I would have been able to even plan it, let alone make it.

This cabinet will include three features that, in my humble opinion, will make it amazing given its size:
- marquee
- screen
- coin mechanism

And thanks to Bender and his tips about taking great pictures, here's a preview from my Sketchup model:



 :laugh2:

P.S.: pictures of the build-in-progress coming soon.

vrf:
Ahh... so here it is.

I am one of those people who is unable to deduce anything from the name. Over my head, perhaps.

Please show a picture of the whole cab. Include approximate dimensions.  :)

Picture of the whole Sketchup model? Not right away! What would be the fun in that!

Here is a picture of the cabinet, IKEA style:


The highlighted parts are the ones that are already cut and ready for sanding/priming/painting/assembly:


As for the approximate dimensions, the assembled cabinet is going to be much smaller than a 25x25x25" cube.

vrf:
well, I'll be watching this one.

Nice shape to the box!

What are you using for hardware and arcade parts?

Thanks. The name, shape of the sides and color of the sides in the "preview" should be more than enough to know what kind of cabinet it is.

As for the hardware, it's going to be:
- mini-ITX motherboard (probably intel Atom, but I do need to do some tests) running FreeDOS or Linux (not sure which one yet, that's part of the tests) with 512MB RAM and a 1GB IDE flash module.
- The joystick is a Sanwa JLF-TP-8T with a black Sanwa LB-30 ball (I sure wish they made LB-24N 24mm bat tops...)
- The four main buttons are Sanwa OBSF-24 (one red, one yellow, one green and one blue)   ;)
- I'm not sure which control buttons to use though, I'd like to get Sanwa SDM-20-WH but they only seem to be available from arcadeshop.de
