Use ICQ, not MSN, got most of my peeps there :)
Ah, can't wait to see your project there m8, good luck with it!!!
Been working on mine over the entire 2003, but only a bit here and there :) Been adding my custom graphics to the control panel, and the marquee, got some blue t-molding on it, blue joysticks and some blue buttons, plus an act-labs lightgun :) To finish it totally I still need to get sideart printed, but it will cost me about 2000 Dkr., which I don't have atm! Also, would love to install a Wells-Gardner 9200 monitor in it, which will cost me another 4500,- Dkr. with vat and shipping, so I'm far away from what I would call done, and all in all it's only a question about cash, so when I get rich, I will finish it :) Thank god I'm done as apprentice in 10 months, so the big cash will flow :D

ahh okay.. i don't :P..
my project is more like a test - just to get basic! next summer i'll use the holiday on the real thing :) "

i've got a real arcade monitor 21" for this Test project :)..
the Cabinet is not actually what i want... but it'll do as a test!
aswell i put 300dkr in a playstation 1 with a chip " so that i "when cab built and monitor mounted" have something to test with :P

if i get this project as i want it then i'll prolly keep the cab... else i'll throw it out and plan more for my next project :)...

i've also been thinking alot about how this test project will end up, cuz i have to start my ejucation the 12th of jan.. :( - that is 20 weeks at school.. but after that i'll see that dirty cash flow :D and then i have the time,money,holiday and the right surrondings to work on my " real project " :)..

anyways :) : i'll start a new thread when the progress of my test project escalades ;), so that you can see it :P

cool, so im not the only one from DK :)
SONIC, dont know if you aware but us from europa are lucky because we can use scart TV's in our cabinets.
it basicly turns the TV into an Arcade monitor running the original resolutions ect..
it would be alot cheaper than the Wells-Gardner 9200, 4500,- Dkr ..ouch!!

my cab is almost done, will post some pics.. :)

Yeayh :) More people from Denmark :)

About the monitor thing! Dunno, but I think a wells-gardner is more sharp in the picture than a tv, or am I wrong here? Am using a Hantarex Polo atm (was in the cab when I bought it), but windows and mame32 looks kinda stretched down in it, it makes most text unreadable unless I use a big font in the front end!

Well, but show your cab m8 :) Always interesting to see what people come up with :)


Cheers!!!

indeed, it's good to know we're not the only ones from DK here :)

the part about the monitor :
wells gardner may be sharper - but you could go with a cheap Prosonic with a scart and get almost the same resluts :)
