[wp34]

The artwork all looks good but the donut around the joystick puts it off the hook.   

[yotsuya]

You might want to revisit the control panel. The buttons on the left look awfully close to the side.

[harveybirdman]

love the donuts, if it were my project I might want less of an angle on the panel and more wrist room.

[steveh]

Wow.  It looks Really Sharp.  I like it.  Keep up the good work.

[Eldritch1969]

Doh !
Cool artwork

[griffindodd]

I love this, the doughnuts around the joysticks are genius, this is much cleaner without the text also, I really dont think you need to tell people which is player 1 or 2.

Looking great, such a fun theme!!!

You got it...This is exactly what i m gonna doh..

I ve tried to save what i can cause i dont want to put more money and time for the moment. Pictures this week end.

I m very glad you like this cab...Some of you are genius and very talented..Good inspiration Thx.   

To griffindodd AMAZING...

Hi,

I m almost done...

Do you have a link on how to power on the 5v lamps of my coin door easy free and safe

Coin door working, Hperspin, need to paint the border screen and fix the bezel, cut and scew the back door, buy a computer...

Almost done.. 

[CoryBee]

Loving the colors on this cabinet! Also +1 for The Simpsons always.

On a conversion to MAME cab I wired the 5v lights on the coin door to a 5v line on the computer's power supply. Worked well, what was cool was that it also became the indicator light for the computer being on.

Do you have a link on how to power on the 5v lamps of my coin door easy free and safe

Two common ways are:

1. Tap into the power supply molex red and black for 5v.

2. Cut the end off a spare USB cable and crimp on QDs.  Pinout diagram on right side here or you can get the version shown below from GGG here.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that if you use a USB cable, be sure your lighting circuit draws less than 100 mA if plugged into an un-powered hub and 500 mA if plugged into a powered hub. (per USB specs)

If all you need to light is those two coin slots LEDs, you'll be fine.

I love your posts scotty. You really know how to site things and give proper help and instructions whether or not the person has the experience to know the tid bits.

[PL1]

Just trying to give a little something back to the BYOAC community for all the fun and useful things I've learned here.

Thank you

You might want to revisit the control panel. The buttons on the left look awfully close to the side.

+1

You may not want to put any more money into this, but the repositioning of P1's joystick makes it too close to the buttons, it also got rid of that awesome donut. I'm not feeling the art fix that much either, the partial space invader kind of help ties the CPO into the side art, but I don't like the black circle over the donut. I think the spacing of P1's controls might become the one thing that bothers you most after this is finished.

[orsettolavatore]

  such a coool joob maan!!!!

[TGov]

The artwork is fantastic, a really neat machine.  That said, the angle of the CP makes my hands hurt just looking at it.

[SNAAKE]

aye karamba

I ve change the angle of the cp

You can compare the pics without buttons and now.

It is ok to play it does not hurt anymore but the cab is very small for a 2 player joysticks with 6 buttons...Personnal choice.

 

[Eldritch1969]

Real nice machine 

[Nestafari]

Hello everybody,

Yes it is been a while and i m more than happy to be there with you, today 

Anyway, i ve bought a new computer running Hyperspin for my Space Simpsons Cab and i ve put a key on the coin door..Amazing? Yeah thx guys and if you guys need any advice about this point..Just let me know.

I ve re-do the control panel, a best angle, some clamps to fix it, very straight and strong, actually, i m proud of it.

If you have a look to my older post my CP was not printed well and now it is in a different shape.
I also want to add the simpsons tv as a bezel with Kang at the top of it or something.

The only thing is that it is way too much difficult for me to do it by myself and maybe that some of you will be interrested to be part of my project and spend a bit time on my art and give me some ideas on how to do it RIGHT.

So thanks in advance, 





I ve this beautifull plate but no tools to cut it propelly, any advice?





What i wanted for the bezel is to put the simpsons TV



With a nice color in the front and maybe some simpsons characters like this at the top or in the corners



Or in my dream maybe merge the simpsons TV and the space invaders bezel like the space invaders/quix bezel that was made in the eighties

And fot the cp if you have some ideas i will really appreciate it Thanks a bunch for being there.

Ps i m gonna change my buttons and put a bubble top at the sticks - color depending of the art

[Nestafari]

Here is my idea for the bezel how do you like it?

Thx in advance

[yotsuya]

I'd leave it as a TV and not anything else to the bezel, personally.

[Nestafari]

Thx Yotsuya..

What do you think about the CP?

[yotsuya]

I kind of hate to see you lose the donut joystick surround on the new CP. I felt like it gave the old one character.

I should bow out of this one. I'm a "less is more" kind of guy, so I don't want to derail your ideas. Good luck! 

[Nestafari]

You know what? I think you re right for the bezel. Just thé TV is a good idea. For the cp i will be glad to keep the donut s but i m afraid to do it wrong make a mistake in the mesuremenys or something..

[PhoenixGG]

This is a very inspired build. Loving it more and more.

I'm gonna +1 the TV and the donuts. Don't lose them. I am sure there is someone with Photoshop skills that can help with the CP artwork.

[BEGINSTUDIO]

Just the TV if you are doing the bezel.  However you could try this idea for size, get old antenna and bend it up, paint it and mount it on the top of the cab.  [Or create one]  Maybe add some LEDs to the ends.  The LEDs might be too much.  What a hoot!

Hope this helps.

[Malenko]

get the donut printed separate , apply your CPO, then put the donut on top.

[BEGINSTUDIO]

Awesome - - Malenko.  If you could have the donuts printed separately and adhere them to either a custom cut joystick dust guard or something.  As the player interacts with the game the donut would naturally move around and because its raised an 1/16" the donut would add some depth to your CP.  Score! 

[Le Chuck]

Lose Bart and the Space Invader from the bezel.  This is where simple will pay off big time.  +1 to the rabbit ears off the top of the build, could be really cool.  If it looks funny you're out all of $.50 from a garage sale. 

I don't like where that CP is headed.  I do like the planets and background but I think you're mixing it up too much by having Invaders on the roll over and a different game name in the marquee.  You're also moving too far from the Simpson's magic of the build by making non cannon characters center stage.  I'd mirror the space invader ships you use in the side art and marquee.  Keep it subtle, and keep those "Doh!"-nut touches that really make it fun.
