Title: For Fun- Here are all of my Mame (tm) Invaders Modules
Post by: MameMaster! on April 23, 2006, 01:16:15 pm
Just for fun I thought I would put all of my modules in 1 posting here.

Except for Star Wars all of these are heavily modified XArcade solo shells that have some or no original XArcade parts anymore. For those of you starting out, the XArcades are perfect for modifications as the parts are perfect matches for Happ parts (or you can easily modify the shell to fit your needs).

I originally built my cab around an XArcade solo. As I progressed with BYOAC and my skills increased I started modifying the XArcades (as you can see) to make "modules" for my cab as plug/play for specific control sets.

I have 2 more modules coming soon!....I think you'll be surprised what I have coming up!

Here they are in all of their glory---
Happ/Joys Buttons-- Standard XArcade modded with Happ controls (XArcade PCB)

Ms. Pac 4 Way- dedicated 4 way using modified Ms. Pac Reunion stick w/Wico handle (XArcade PCB)

Oscar Spinner- Happ controls/Oscar spinner added as well (XArcade PCB)

Robotron- Self explainatory! Happ controls (uses XArcade PCB)

Rotary Joy- Happ Rotary joy using Druins interface and IPac

Star Wars-- Nuff said. (1ups hack is being used).

Trackball-- 3" Happ Illuminated Track ball

Trigger Joy-- Atari Arcade Trigger Joy w/Apac interface

Nice! I've always wanted to do something like that, maybe when the new cab is done that time will come.

Hey, you should combine the spinner and the trigger joy on one stick for some TRON action!

Very cool - I am slowly building my panels (why does everything cost so much!) for my cab. You're a daring man to put the pause button right under the main buttons. I'd be pausing my game by accident all the time!

actually in the 3 years I've had that set up I don't think I've ever accidently hit it....but I tend to arch my hand over the buttons; so I guess it depends on your play style.  :cheers:
