The only thing that's kept me hesitant against rubber moldings like that is that if a tiny chunk of dirt gets in there it would probably be instant scratched bezel. It's cabinet paint which is supposed to be fairly durable, but I don't entirely trust any water cleanup product for durability.

You could use clear spar varnish (don't know if that's the correct term, google translate says so), the scratch resistant stuff that is used on boats.

or

try to find some adhesive stuff that closes most of the gap without touching the bezel

or

try to find a metal strip that has a rounded t-profile like this:



Paint it in the bezel color and just plonk it loosely at an angle into the gap. When rotating the bezel, pull it out, rotate the bezel, put it back in.

Okay so the game launches, I use the Switchres command to get 360x200@60hz, but then the Switchres shows it's running my normal desktop resolution.The game starts up fine and there are no error messages. I installed a modeline for 400x240 for my widescreen desktop, and it keeps settings it to that. Any ideas?

Nice! Keep us updated

Growing up, I always hated the claw machines with the forward and right buttons. I much preferred the ones with the joystick.

Ordered a few of those connectors back when working on the HuCARD.  Took right at 3 months to receive them.  I had figured been took to the cleaners.  That adapter a real need or just dreaming?

Just have a quick teaser vid for now. But hopefully will have some info in the near future.

I just updated the control panel with some cool silver metallic chrome colored diamond plate and wanted to share in case anyone but me ever reads this post It's nice and thick at 11 mil so no worries about air bubbles. Cut with an X-acto knife and a t-square and applied right over the gold plate on the panel. Poked through the holes with my X-acto and cut around the edges. Pushed the buttons in to create dimples for the pegs, then poked holes with an awl. Easy install and turned out looking great!

Aha, I didn't think the bezel was supposed to be fitted when you rotate the screen. I figured you would just rest it on the screen area and gravity would hold it in place after a rotation of the screen. If you remove it between rotations it should be less complicated to fill the gaps, right?

Originally I thought about just having it on dowels and you pop it off every time, but I know if I had it like that I'd never bother rotating it. It's such a large unwieldy panel every time I moved it during the build I was liable to smash it on things and ding up the edges. The goal with this was to have it rotate with 1 finger and back up and running in less than 30 seconds.
