Title: Mame Machine - With Different Trackball Location - Finished Project.
Post by: jw2000uk on July 07, 2008, 05:17:01 am
My cabinet running GameEX.

27" CRT - 4000+ Dual Core - 3 Gig Ram - Creative 2.1 (With Car Speakers) 7600GT GPU.

It took 5 months to complete,but i guess it was worth it.

The main idea was to put the trackball elsewhere,And the idea has paid off to me.

Other than that its the same as others ;-)

Thanks for all the help,And to the makers of the software i use. i.e. GameEX,CPWizard,All the EMU Makers ETC.

Seems like an odd position to play a trackball game.  Which button do you use to fire in a game like Centipede?

I love that low-boy style of cabinet...I tried for years to find a Super Street Fighter II US cab like that but they're hard to find (then one popped up on the Virginia Beach craigslist for $100 right after I moved to Wisconsin, haha).

Very nicely done.  Gotta find a new home for the recycling bin though, dude   ;)

Not really into games like that,more the golden tee etc.

But if i did need a fire button,I would use P2 Top Right Button.

The main thing i didnt want,was the sticks getting in the way of trackball games,And this works a treat.

That aint recycling lol, that's computer parts.(Does need a tidy though)
