I know you love the crazy kong but for variety sake I say arkanoidI DO have a bootleg Arkanoid board that lets you choose the level, and I still need a working CK, so....
Jrok Q*Bert board
Me too! I hear there might be some more things in the pipeline....Jrok Q*Bert board
Lucky! I want one of those someday.
hell, I want all the Jrok boards.
Thanks. I will try to organize my chaos into a build log. If nothing else it will be a cautionary tale encouraging organization and planning. I tend to just dive in. My next cab will be much prettier on the inside. This one looks good from the outside, but is kind of a disaster on the inside. The most important thing is that it plays great.That would be great! That's the kind of stuff new people doing research need to see.
Hmmm. So many plans...Space and time an issue? Build a TARDIS first! :cheers:
Got an Asteroids-cabaret-a-like that I'll be starting in a couple of weeks - weather permitting. Also got plans for a vertical cabinet but that I probably wont start until next year. Both CRT builds.
I've been stockpiling parts for the last year - it's just time and space that are lacking at the moment. Bah.
Really looking forwards to getting back into it

Football talk? Football talk.Whatever chuffs your boat! I'm all for OU losing. Post it here!
Watching OU get stomped was supremely satisfyng. Congrats, Univeristy of Houston.

My wife got her bachelors from Oklahoma State. PhD imminent from UH. That one was extraordinarily personal.
:cheers:
Pocket screw construction, huh? Sexy.Yep, keeps it tight and strong. Best investment ever.
That looks remarkably similar to the mount I built for my scratch built pac-man. There are L beams with holes at them you can get at Lowes/Home Depot and I bolted those to the crt. It makes it easier to do positioning adjustments.Thanks, bro.
Looking good man.
| (https://i.sli.mg/xn6tl7.jpg) Yep, you finally drag four women to the game, 45 minutes after kickoff. You've just paid the scalper, gotten inside, and are walking to your seat. "Mandatory evacuation due to lightning" 4 hours later, you give up, just for the game to start when you get home. You announce "we're going back" just to be greeted by laughter as they go out to the patio with wine and nail polish. Aaannnnd the toddler just knocked over my stealth cocktail. Pray for me. |
At least you're not doing this...

Si its me. And I'm still not done. Had to take a break.That photo of you is going to make it's way into ZapCon '17 somehow.
At least you're not doing this...You win... but aren't we supposed to be chuffing?
You couldn't have paid me to see Daryl Hall and John Oates when I was in high school but I'm a huge fan now. The wife and I saw them last year in Madison and they were fantastic. Would love to see them again. Did Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings open for them?Yes, and she was awesome!

Man who let all the old people in? ;) (Actually they aren't nearly as terrible as I pretend.... I could see why people like them.)Wow that's better than my 5 dollar xbox and my 3 dollars Keurig from yard sales
Went to the yard sale today. Found a wii for a dollar. Then a pipe burst at mom's so I was pretty naffed but I got home a few minutes ago, fired up the wii and it works perfectly! It looks like a cat used it as a hair brush, but all I need is a replacement drive for my pristine model, so hey.... dollar wii!
This thread is mostly me posting project pics and PBJ posting beach pics. Chufftember 2016, ladies and gentlemen.Here be some food I made. Bacon cheeseburger buscit bites
Thump!I used one in my exercise room strictly for Wii Fit and streaming Netflix while I ride my exercise bike.
So I swapped out the drives. My good wii is repaired and after I gave it a thorough cleaning, the donor console doesn't look bad at all aside from a missing door for the GC ports.
I used letterbomb to throw the homebrew channel on that one as well. So the question is, what to do with the thing? Obviously I could hook a hdd up to it, but I was thinking of something more fun.
Ideas:
1. Mod the case and cram as many tg16 games as I can on it. Mod some cheap wiimotes into tg16 gamepads. Create a tur-faux graphics 16.
2. Same as above, only with the NES. Create a NES classic before the release.
3. Strip as much junk as I can off of it and attach the sensor bar onto it. Throw a bunch of lightgun games on it, mod the menu and create a shooting gallery console.
4. ????
Problem with the Wii is you've got to use a remote to navigate that opening menu. Makes it a poor choice for cabinets.But if it's for shooting games you would be using the wiimote anyway.
But now that I think about it. You have that dolphinbar, so I would rather see you do something with that and a pc than a simple wii cab.
That's why I am waiting to get one until you are done.But now that I think about it. You have that dolphinbar, so I would rather see you do something with that and a pc than a simple wii cab.
It depends upon how successful I am at writing a good ir script.
I'm making progress with the app I'm writing.... most stuff is falling into place, but the wiimote protocols are needlessly complicated, so there is a LOT of code running in the loop. I haven't really tested the performance of it while running a game (other than a brief T2 session).
The dolphinbar's built in modes are just crap. I mean if you don't care about accuracy, or 1to1 movement translation or 2 player modes I guess it is acceptable, but there is considerable lag and there isn't a way to calibrate.
Worked on the Q*beret today while watching football. F-ing kickers.
Look at my little girl.
Congrats to both of you, but Locke is Cheatembering with the July throwback!
What is that a diy bezel?Yep, someone on KLOV vectored it, and I printed it out on a 24x24 sheet so I didn't have to piece it together. It's for the 14" monitor for the Q*Beret.
That came out great. What are you bringing to zapcon this year?Good question. I'm thinking I'll probably bring this Qbert Cabaret, my Super Pac-Man cocktail, Macross, Janky Kong, and maybe one other machine, depending on how my Astro Blaster restore goes. I've taken NBA Jam in the past, but that thing is heavy. It almost killed Harveybirdman bringing it back in the house.
if I go to Zapcon again, and I still own it......You should bring your Ginger balls. Someone needs to teabag his couch.
I thought about bringing Gingerballs for Haruman's booth

Yesterday was one of the longest I've had in a long time, but at least it ended up here...How did Houston do?
(https://i.sli.mg/yCsFW2.jpg)
Wife and I built a shed almost exactly like that in Virginia... only she let go of one of the sheet metal panels while I was holding the other end and it ended up slicing me pretty deep. Had to go to the ER for stitches. Heh.

Added to the Coke prizes list... two Spurs tickets. This train has no brakes.I'm teaching some new stuff this week and so I needed to prep for it... hope to get it posted tonight. Keep an eye out.
Where's the FS thread, yot?
:cheers:
The wife thinks Samuel L. Jackson is in the corner of this Baja Fresh eating tacos with us
Nah, Yots is a huge fan of anal.I am, but not when the ride rogers me. Whoo.
Wow, was it that bad?I'm just getting too old for this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
Taco truck on every corner?I had some bad ass street tacos. My wife fell in love with boba.
Wow, dude, tacos. Way to get out of your comfort zone.These were made by Salvadorans, gringo. Thanks for assuming all tacos are made by Mexicans, Donald.
To clarify what sucks so much about the Harry Potter ride, you have to wear 3-D glasses. That part unfortunately messes with your head and stomach more than the ride itself. I had to close my eyes to make the pain stop.Next time you go to a theme park, get the motion sickness patch (the one that goes behind the ear). They last 3 days and you can get as dizzy as possible and never get sick. You still get disoriented with the really intense rides, but never sick.
Getting old sux.
These were made by Salvadorans, gringo. Thanks for assuming all tacos are made by Mexicans, Donald.
Cabinet got back?That's a great question. I'd say about half my cab pickups were missing the door. Not sure why, other then maybe they get used for something else. I used to use a back door from some unknown project as a loading ramp for a while.
Btw just a question.... why do you think 50% of the cabs you find don't have backs? I just don't get it, but maybe I have worse luck than most.
If only loading the replacement MDF weren't so ---smurfing--- complicated. :burgerking:

Probably. Though I could see you also getting toe stabbed through the heart as well.Seriously, I wanna get me, PBj, Malenko, and Xiaou2 in the same room. Hijinks ensue!
Pretty sure that would just be James and me picking on Steve with you telling us to stop.

We shouldn't kick those who aren't here to be kicked. Someone go get the guy we all want to kick, you know, the one that threatens to kick people...but for realsies.
Also, did somebody get cheated on just a few posts ago or was this a gag like that one time a guy said he got cheated on but didn't. If people are getting cheated on, that sucks.
Chuffness - I'm back to work (from a layoff), so my life resumes as soon as I manage to scratch ticket myself about 5 months of lost income. 8)Good to hear. ZapCon '17 in the cards?
Good to hear. ZapCon '17 in the cards?Possible, but I still owe my wife a bit of a vacation before then. She kind of earned it by toughing out a couple surgeries and a month of radiation. That's right, I was kicking her out of bed every day to go get zapped and get herself to work while I slept in. Pretty ballsy, huh? I'm thinking of changing my name to Pretty Ballsy Ji... oh wait.
...I might actually be healthy.Glad you're getting there, Howard. The more things you get out of the way now, the faster you'll be back to 100% instead of always feeling like you're at 75. As long as they're happy with how your eye is coming along, all you have to do is stay patient. (Oh, and do whatever else they tell you.)

I really don't get you "vote on election day" people. I've been twisting arms for two weeks in Texas trying to frog march people to the polls. Was in and out in 26 minutes and there were over a hundred people ahead of me when I did it.I guess I'm an Election Purist, too.
Anyway, I am hopeful for a clear conclusion to this election by tomorrow morning. And here's to better choices in 4 years.

Yots - what's going in the cabarets?
Sweet! Love the Midway cabarets after seeing Haruman's at ZapCon last year.I'll build you one if you ask nicely.... ;-)
I want one, get to cutting.Let me know where to ship it to, I'll send you my PayPal.
Anyway, taking a week off here. Started with a Spurs-Rockets game, and the Spurs pulled a victory out of their ass.
(https://i.sli.mg/jESfq2.jpg)
Noticed approximately 90% of Spurs fans were holdng a margarita. I really miss that city sometimes.

I like the red and yes I definitely agree that the Tully's can look great. Great work on the cabs. I really like you're Q-beret, Yots, and I do have just enough room for either a cabaret or a mini pin and I can't decide which I want to go for.Next Tully I build for myself is going to be a dedicated Crazy Kong, but I'm tempted to build a Galaga Midway cabaret as well.
I also can't decide if I went for the cabaret if I make it a Q-Bert like you did or a Donkey Kong and make it a Donkey Kong Remix. I played that at ZapCon last year too, and even though I sucked I really liked it and want to play more. I think either would work well in a Tully.
I'm going to have to wait for ZapCon again. I'm hoping Malenko can make it with his sweet mini-pin 😀.
And I do agree the art was fantastic on Haruman's Midway cabaret!
Next one I'm going to talk "the wife" into is a dedicated GladiatorI thought you were angling for a ThunderJaws??
Yeah Zapcon 17 gotta start saving for those plane tickets
Only if Vigo will come play with meI miss the Carpathian.
Damn, you must actually want people to play your games if you're giving in and building a Galaga.I know, right????
should have locked it in to the Malenko/Frogger level when you wanted them to leaveEveryone loves Malenko Frogger.
Not #NotThatJenniferI miss the entire ZapCon '16 crew. Gonna have a drink right now in all ya'll's honor.
