Title: Taito Vewlix Diamond Replica Project
Post by: Hursit on December 05, 2017, 10:28:37 am
Hello guys.
I finished my  Custom Vewlix Diamond Edition Cabinet.
I made it by MDF. You can see the all images of the whole process.
The whole process is about 2 months. I didn't work full time.

I design it for PC and PS3 for now. But after Niko Release the Nesica Multi system, i will put my Taito Type X2 main board in the cabinet. And i will wire the all system for jamma.
For now Im just using it with Attract mode Fronted.

You can watch the video:

Work of art, The one playerness of it makes me sad though.  Any plans on doing a swappable two player panel?

 :applaud: Very nice. Good woodsmanship.

Only bit I'm not sure about is those two blue blocks at the back of the CP - what they for?

Faux card reader.



Amazing work , I feel you on the single player panel. I play solo more than co-op.

Nice build, very impressive! :cheers: I was thinking that's a lot of real estate for just a 1P control panel as well but easy enough to change out when you want.
