Dungbeetle46,

Another very nice layout, you do some very good work.  It is obvious that you really like the Robocop game as well, usually the one you show in your screen capture.

I was wondering if you have given any thought to making some more involved layouts.  Using graphics to show what controls are used in certain games.  Using the menu features.  Doing some more creative layouts.  I am hoping to try some myself once I get my cabinet all done and begin working on the software side.

Yet another nice looking layout Dung.  What do you use for your layout image editor might I ask? Photoshop? Gimp?  Other?

thanks guys
I do all my work in photoshop cs3, cant beat it IMO.

cmoses, i havent thought about more involved, simply because I use cpwizard for controls and I have made my own graphics for mala controls which I have setup to open by pressing LCTRL and it opens with irfanview (see attached) but you have made me curious now so I will look into it.

I haven't looked into cpwizard yet, I am guessing those screen display before the game is launched?

I like the look of the red velvet, but I think you need a more old school Donkey Kong.  That one would be good for a Nintendo screen.
