Hi Everyone,
Seems like it's been forever and I'm about to start on another build I've been trying to find either a broken cabinet, cabinet shell or debating going bartop.
I would like for it to be a 2 player layout currently I've decided on a theme and about to order buttons and encoders.
The theme I was going for is Frank Miller's adaptation of Robocop vs Terminator something among the lines of this picture.
Any thoughts are appreciated positive or negative
this will not be another coin ops build. I'm going Hyperspin this time a little more headache but I'm fine with that.

With that in mind I think I would go for Chrome T moulding and Chrome Bezelled buttons, Give it that Metallic look ;)
As for the LED's again they may fit nicely in with the feel of the cab.

But I have used the Ultimarc Ultra Lux LED buttons and they are pretty good (also can be got with chrome bezzels ;) ).
Ultimarc also do a good controller which the Ultra Luxs just plug into.
The ones from GGG are rated good to but again not used them.

If the above art example were to be in the side art... I know that I would not be able to resist drilling out the Terminator's eye and burying one red LED under it.
Holy Crap I like your thinking! :cheers:
I have decided on this bartop kit from HaRuMaN I just do not know about the control panel I was thinking chrome led buttons but do not know which color etc.
As for a Marquee maybe something like the wording that appears on this.(https://s18.postimg.org/zbzrashuh/maxresdefault.jpg)
Maybe add this in somewhere I just do not want it to be too busy

Hyperspin
With GameCube ps2 and wii emulation and obviously mortal combat x. I think the GameCube and ps2 are the most demanding? Dual core or i5? Anyone who has experience care to share or recommend a board and processor?

Also the control panel layout I'm wondering what to do as far as hyperspin controls like exit etc. I have 3 buttons below controls thought of 2 lightup credit buttons and a USB port in the middle in case I wanted to do a controller

Wondering about the CPU Color and Fan placement as well.
Seems like there is plenty of space, Im also wanting a more beefy pc due to steam games as well. :cheers:

All looks good, but no SSD for the system drive?
:P Completely forgot about that I was thinking maybe a 120GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820173150 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820173150) for the main OS and the 2TB Drive will be coin ops etc

Not sure what others do, but i run my frontend, emulators and support software off the SSD. Have all the game files and assets on a networked drive which works absolutely fine. Good decision on buying for purpose rather than cobbling together - wish I'd done the same!
I figured long as the OS boots fine I dont mind a slight load time on games.
I figure $100 ish for a disk drive vs $600 for a 2tb SSD. However I hope the 2TB drive never dies :dizzy:
Post by: mafiafan123 on January 20, 2017, 06:40:58 pm
Changed my build was slightly cheaper but will still run the steam games etc I want and allow for upgrades.
Hopefully everything will fit :cheers:
Only thing left to do is add in a monitor, T-Molding buttons/wires, Graphics etc. I have my front end already setup from an old build that I never used so hopefully not a lot of changes will have to be done.
I also have some spare led strip lighting I was thinking of wiring together in parallel attached to some painted acrylic (Ill try to get this together soon to show what I am talking about)

Well I plan on also adding an hdmi out so I can split the image if needed to another source as well just thinking outside the box.
Artwork is in development Malenko was nice enough to help me with this
Tonight I made a light for the marquee but I do not know if it will work please don't be too harsh as it's something I saw and just tried throwing together
although I'm wondering if it will put out enough light???It's just scrap plexi I had and some 12v leds left over I would paint the back black and trim to fit behind speakers?

I will probably redo the Vinyl as I do not like the cut lines in the middle maybe more to the side as it wont be as noticeable.
Im also thinking of doing a speaker hack with a portable speaker as the PC ones I have found just do not sound right or do not fit easily even decased.
Has anyone ever used one of the speakers out of these for a build if you have please post ;)

Now I'm trying to decide on led buttons I already have them but not sure on colors? All red with chrome or should I maybe do a blue because of the CPO? Maybe player one or two white ? Open to suggestions.

Ok so I'm confused this fight stick is different than the others I used instead of one part with the square and ring on bottom it has 3 parts and a ring to lock.
My question is is the way I have correct? The right joystick seems to feel correct or should I do it like the left one in picture how it came packaged. Confused if the big end goes towards switches. I only have this low res picture and can not make out which direction it faces.
Help??
Also here's my thoughts on button color and layout (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170218/0a54646843dd072d20d3172caa5cca3e.jpg)

This diagram shows the order that the pieces go -- shaft, sleeve, dust washer, cone (narrow end toward the sleeve), base, actuator, C-clip.
For 8-way operation, put the larger end of the hourglass-shaped actuator next to the C-clip.
(larger end of actuator can hit both switches for diagonal)
For 4-way operation, put the smaller end of the hourglass-shaped actuator next to the C-clip.
Just follow the dotted line.

My last one was actually happ I thought the switches and stick would at least be but it appears they are some call B. Lee (Bruce Lee ? Or it maybe a its a popular brand I've just never heard of? They seem like an extra loud switch but it appears to be an "eBay" special lol. Regardless I'll try them out for a bit if bad I'll just replace the switches.
Thanks again for the diagram

Only issue for me is Xpadder and Joy to key.
An example is MKX does not allow Xin controller encoder to have to players using arcade sticks it bugs out.
I setup xpadder in this case and have player one as keyboard and player 2 as joystick in game works great but in menu and player selection it's a nightmare navigating using actual buttons I do not understand why sticks work in menus but not character select.
I think they joystick and keyboard are fighting.
Anyone have suggestions as far as other emulators in hyperspin I'm just trying to configure them inside vs xpadder

Post by: mafiafan123 on February 22, 2017, 12:10:41 pm
Just set the program to open with hyperspin created a .bat to terminate after. Had an issue with it closing after selecting an emulator but didn't realize you have two more profiles one for in game which I currently only have set for hyperpause exit etc and the other that loads back when the front end is loaded.
Anyone know any tricks to have emulators do multiple inputs that are not natively supported?
Example Joypad encoder and an actual controller if I wanted to just turn one one and use it

Just make sure you have clean, corrosion-free, mechanically-solid and low-resistance (<2 ohms) power connections.
You want a low-resistance connection to avoid generating heat like this (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,119308.msg1414637.html#msg1414637).

Testing some led lighting.
I secured the marque retainers with magnetic tape surprisingly it holds well I reinforced it with some glue but it doesn't show at all.
Ordered speakers as well and a Pyle amp this time instead of kinter read it had better reviews.
Still debating putting a cam lock on the back door I purchased a piano hinge and magnets but I like the key aspect of it. I'll post better pictures later on.
Word of advice the Xin Mo encoders are ok but not ideal luckily there are some great devs who created xpadder joy to key etc or I would be lost!
Also does anyone know of a SUPER SILENT 80 or 120 mm fan thinking of putting two on the back all of the silent labeled ones seem to be really loud even turned down

do you have fan grills installed ? they can create loads of noise with the wind rushing through.

No I do not have a fan grill installed was thinking of mounting it to the wood with a spacer and putting a fan filter on it, or would I not need this since I'm technically using to draw heat out?
