Title: 1P bartop (now building my own 2P version!/99% done!! incl. video youtube)
Post by: Almighty on December 19, 2012, 01:09:05 am
3 weeks ago a bought a 1P mamecade bartop and i really like it!
So my next step is to make a bigger bartop with a 2P control panel and a 19 inch lcd. ( and yes with a slg3000 )

so i can finaly play the games like Streetfighter and Killer Instinct on my next bartop and i can play with my daughter on this baby because she really like to play Turtles with me  :)

1P mamecade:

In fact it is a two-layer motherboard. Have got the same Games Family board in my Egret 3 Atomiswave. The 3000 games-in-1 version.

I will, get back on that o.k  ;)

One think for sure, no rush and give the primer the time to dry 24 hours before you do the second layer.
And use some good mdf primer etc.

Will make some pictures from the stuff i used and also will upload a video running this 2P bartop. :)

Not sure why you can't open it.  :dunno

Just plug Pengo into the search box on the Arcade Art Library (http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/index.php?) and you can find the three files from the link that you can't open.
