Title: DoDon Arcade Bartop
Post by: njay on September 16, 2010, 02:34:43 am: Hi All,

Since i sold my old mame cabinet because i need to move to a smaller apartment i just cannot let go of the hobby.
Now my electronic skills are up to date , but i am not so at cutting out wood... :cry: my local woodshop agreed to help me out.

My plan is to use a 15 inch tft for the screen it will be a two player setup with 6 buttons each....

Can anyone help me out with some plans in measured in centimeters? this will be hopefully the only help i need the rest should be good to go.

I also plan to use an intel atom board with ION graphics ship and a sata hard drive, this should be small enough to fit the bartop.

Thanks again ! :applaud:

*edit* I got the wee-cade plans but not all the measurments are there my woodshop requires all the precise measurments for them to cut out the wood.. :D

:applaud:

Post by: njay on September 20, 2010, 08:58:08 am: What a fail... stupid woodshops , we can't cut such corners or bends... pfff

Turncades won't ship outside the UK ... and shipping from emdkay is like 250 dollars ... no go ..

If anyone has another idea to get a Bartop kit let me know :notworthy:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=98248.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=98248.0)

My first Bartop (see pic here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104923.msg1115650#msg1115650 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104923.msg1115650#msg1115650)) came from Peter on a whim (I was bored one winter week-end) now I'm hooked.

I live in Canada so shipping was reasonable - you'll have to contact him about shipping.

Be seeing you,

Post by: njay on September 20, 2010, 02:44:18 pm: Thanks but i live in the netherlands... so shipping from there waaay to expensive
Title: Re: New Project - Bartop / Help Needed !
Post by: wonderalex on September 20, 2010, 09:59:33 pm: Er - yah - that could be a problem. :-[

Sorry.

But I did have a thought - instead of going to local build/wood shops look for a cabinet maker. There are many cabinet makers around here making replicas and custom furniture - I'm sure the same is true in the Netherlands. They would be more likely to make those "strange" curved cuts that wood shops are afraid to do (I encountered the same thing here - if it's not straight they won't do it). Prices would be reasonable because you're only asking them to cut the wood not assemble & finish the cabinet.

OR re-design the wee-cade using straight cuts. Like a mini tempest cabinet or those old coleco micro-arcades from the 80's (see below) or some other straight-edged cab.

Then again I might be complicating stuff - try the cabinet makers before going for the re-design.

Be seeing you,

WonderAlex

Anyone got experience with Asus AT5NM10-I (Retail, Gb-LAN, VGA, Sound, Mini-ITX)

It has an onboard intel graphics chip my aim for the bartop is MAME with KI2 as most heavy Rom to play.

I am using the Dual Atom 1.6 330 and the ION adapter with 3GB RAM on my ASUS 1201N and KI2 doesnt run well. Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead run well, Fall out3 is totally playable...

Post by: cy4life on September 23, 2010, 06:12:17 pm: Have you started laying out a control panel? I'm wondering how big the controller panel would be and how other people like 2players on a bartop. I am planning on building one myself soon and am still debating if I want to stick with one player or squeeze in two.

It's fine just the way it is .. i now it seems tight but plays well .. maybe i should make some rubber wrist strip on the cp to rest the players wrist on.
But using a good chair to play with and not to low it's ok

No, the switches have to have a rotating actuator for when the ball rolls past the wire. Can't use lever actuators.

Post by: njay on November 10, 2011, 09:40:24 am: Marquee:

Note: the marquee is different i used a normal mdf piece as the frontside.
So i used a special Kit to glue it to the wood , so hopefully that will hold.

Post by: njay on November 12, 2011, 12:07:37 pm: Thx all :)

Should be all fine but the parts of the ships will be covered with buttons etc.
It's just to cramped to fitt all outside of the button/stick placement :)

but should be cool non the less

Title: Re: DoDon Arcade Bartop
Post by: njay on November 29, 2011, 03:34:54 pm: Software Update:

Installed mame 0.89:

Area 51 and puzzle bobble 2 is having sound stutter with mame 0.143 on my atom d525 proc.
With the older version it's way better, to bad Ki and Ki2 are still having stutter issues

Daphne installed

Installed PSX emulator besides epsxe because psx emulator has better light gun support without having to press f5 to change the controller type like on epsxe
