Title: bartop arcade a wip JAMMA blue elf.
Post by: ste on March 25, 2011, 09:30:34 am

hi all, im new here. im building a bartop arcade running a blue elf on a pc monitor also using a RGB  convertor to deal with the sync. the whole thing will be powered by a jamma psu in theory this set up should work but we shall find out.

i acullay build the bartop 3 years ago and its been sitting in my shed ever since, so i got a sand the whole thing down and repaint it, redesign the control panel for 6 buttons per player add a start and credit button since there will be no coin mech.

picture below, its just the start so looks a bit ugly at the moment.

All great projects start somewhere. Looks like you could have a lot of fun with that little box right there.

You should consider making a thread under project announcements sub-forum, and keep us updated with your progress!

Oh and most importantly, welcome to the forums!

Looks like that's about the same spot you painted it three years ago too.  :)
