That's the stuff! Details, details, details. Can't have too many details.

Artwork files for people restoring cabinets, marquee, sideart, control panel overlay, bezel, etc.

Why fix what isn't broken. I'm all for updating and keeping it fresh. I managed to build my Bartop without asking a single question. Believe me I had lots of questions but the answers were found on these pages with little effort.

Lets keep it the way it is.

There's a slight misunderstanding to my original post (and the OPs). First off, I was specifically talking about KLOV not BYOAC forum. A Wikipedia is not meant to replace a forum. They're entirely different animals that serve entirely different purposes. Excuse my irritation but whoever thinks such a substitution is what is being discussed obviously does not understand the difference.

The site I proposed is not intended for people building a cab either. That is what BYOAC is for.

In response to CheffoJeffo. Through what mechanism are updates done with KLOV? When I initially gained an interest in owning a cab I submitted several updates to klov and they are yet to appear. Hell, the Tempest entry still points to http://web1.galstar.com/jmccorm/tempest-sw WTF? That is one of the problems present with klov.


That said. I would start with KISS. focus on getting a wiki up and running that employs tags to properly categorize the games. Then follow up with information about the hardware (what xiaou is always clamoring about) and so on and so forth.

I would caution against a repository of high resolution artwork suitable for reproduction. Besides copyright issues (Pac and family) the bandwidth just for the art alone would quickly overrun everything else.
