Greetings Starfighter updated with pics
« on: May 02, 2004, 06:39:31 pm »
These pics came off my crappy treo camera phone. I'll try and post some better ones soon.

Shieldwolf's STARCADE: The Ultimate Multi Game System is up and kicking. Inspired by GXSRmoviestar, the Last Starfighter and the need to have the ultimate bemani/control silly cabinet, I have tried to build a party friendly system.

First off, a big shout to Eric and Craig Pennington, Denis Nickoleff and the rest of the byoac for their help.

Thanks everyone for putting up with my inane rambles and offering help when possible (This doesn't mean I'm done asking noob questions).

 I still have a to-do list.

1. Wire up my DC controls
2. Light up my coin door and track ball
3. Find some bright lights that will flash colors with the beat of music

What does it have?
Windows xp
D9200 27 inch monitor
radeon 7500 ati card all in wonder
MSI mother board
2600 ghz
512 ram
4 Klipsch Speaker system
Hagstrom Ke72 and me34 encoders
Hidden 5 port usb
playstation usb converter for controls and lightguns
DC dreambox (lets you plug your Dreamcast to speakers and arcade monitor no wiring needed).


4player cp
Happs buttons
4 happs joysticks competition
1 pac 20th anniversary joystick.
3 inch blue illuminated trackball (I think blue must be a favorite among the byoac)
oscar spinner
Admin buttons for computer and emu controls
Drummania control
Guitar Freaks Control
Beatmania Control
para para control
soon to have a pop n music control
Dance pads
Thrustmaster Skateboard (for all my skating/surfing/skiing games on mame and consoles)
2 sets DC maracas for samba De Amigo
1 DC fishing pole for
2 DC light guns

Here's a pic of the cab, I have a great marquee, but the guys at Kinkos are idiots ( yeah I know you know that already) and screwed up the print of my marquee.

That big green dot on the side was something I found at a 7/11.

I had a party last night to show off my cab and thought this said it all

Nice looking cab.  Man, those lighted trackballs look so good.  Interesting place to mount your speakers.  I've personally never seen them mounted there on any other cab.  Good job.

Well I didn't want the two extra speakers to go to waste and I figured I alread had the two up top...

The nice thing about where I placed them is that they don't interfere with game play and when you're playing a game like ddr, or guitar freaks you get great full sounding music

Big bowl of F to you pal.

BTW this whole site is about being a nerd.

Nice to see you edited your post so that mine wouldn't make sense. Get a sense of humor man. Had I known you'd have the reaction of little girl I wouldn't have posted it. BTW, good lookin' CP.
