Nearly complete project I have been working on since last Fall.
Basically, this is a Mame cab designed to look like Joust. CP has two extra buttons per player, 8-way joysticks, trackball and a spinner. Running Mame 0.215 on a PC fast enough to handle bgfx. Still have a few details to finish, and overlays to customize for the 16:10 monitor.

Looks great, very nice work

Outstanding. I wish more people thought this way. Looks great, one of the best ones I’ve seen in long time!

Classy AF.
The way you dealt with the VESA mount is kind of out there, but that's a way to ensure alignment.
-
Honestly it was my own laziness not wanting to spend hours getting the monitor precisely positioned so it just touched the bezel; also didn’t want to cut the existing flat panel mount. It works reasonably well.

This came out great. Is that a spinner in the upper right corner of the CP? Is that comfortable to use?
-
BAM. Out of nowhere an awesome cab appears.
My favourite cab shape. Looks awesome. :applaud:

Thx. The spinner is up there so that I can add another row of buttons in the future. The knob allows one or two fingers to control the dial. I don’t play a lot of spinner games so it works nicely, though I agree the placement is not ideal.

Thx. I spent a bit of time mulling over this cabinet design. Other option was a Galaga cab... but my kids and I really like Joust!

Looks like an authentic cab at first glance! Nicely done! :cheers:

That's a classy build and love how you're doing the monitor as well. A1!

Looks great! I'm about to build a Joust scratch build so I'm interested in what you used for paint colors.

The side art is a vinyl from escapepodonline. I purchased the cabinet pre-assembled. It is plain black laminate.

Ah ok. I only saw the main photo didn't notice there was a link to other pics with descriptions. I couldn't tell it was vinyl from that photo it looks good. I'll most likely use a stencil like I did with my Robotron cab.

Love the way it came out.

What did they charge you for freight on an assembled cabinet?

I ended up picking it up as they are about two hours from me, but I think they wanted $180 to ship.
