You might be fine then, if they are smaller. I always assume people are using the standard HAPP push buttons.

I don't think he was trying to be rude, he was just trying to show you what the cabinet would look like without the extra unused space on both sides of the control panel.

I didn't say that he was being rude. Just that he is wasting his time. If you're going to photoshop something, photoshop something funny

Tread careful champ, you'll chase off a lot of well intentioned help by trampling goodwill.

This.

My builds are never perfect, but I have taken all of the criticism with stride and let it help me build my skills in this hobby.

Could someone plz nuke this topic? It's gone way to far. I'll post another topic when the machine is almost complete or complete

Dawgz Rule · « **Reply #141 on:** February 23, 2013, 10:29:03 am »

Second the motion to nuke the topic at the request of the OP. This will give crtrrss a clean start to his project post.

crtrrss, the last words of advice I will give is to:

1. Take your time and do your project to your satisfaction.
2. Be humble
3. Don't be too quick to ridicule others who are trying to help

All of us here really do want to see your project be a success!

Regards,
Dawgz

Just open another thread. The mods here don't send things to post hell that don't need to be there.

No doubt. The dude just got here and he's ordering around the mods to delete stuff. He obviously doesn't know how lazy our mods can be.

crtrrss · « **Reply #144 on:** March 04, 2013, 10:46:04 pm »

Ok I'm too lazy to make a new topic, so I'm going to continue to post on this one. I figured out what I am going to do. I will get my server to run freeNAS via hyper-v. Also, I'm considering using gameex over hyperspin. Gameex has jukebox mode which I love and it has a plugin specifically for LCDs. Is gameex worth the $17 that it costs to get a full membership?? Also, I still need to find a monitor. The space was for a 25" CRT and I can't seem to find a screen online that would replace it nicely. Any suggestions?

Dawgz Rule · « **Reply #145 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:00:27 am »

I use GameEx and found the small fee to be well worth it. Great support community and the fee helps promote future development.

crtrrss · « **Reply #146 on:** March 05, 2013, 08:21:48 am »

ok ill buy it along with an emumovies membership. Isn't there a discount of some sort if you buy both together??

Correct. Emumovies has a nice utility that will scan your roms and download all of the artwork, video clips, etc. I recently finished all of the front end "tweaking" on my cab and it looks really nice with the videos over static images. Definitely kicks it up a notch.

crtrrss · « **Reply #149 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:58:23 pm »

That is probably what I'm going to do. Also, my 17000 roms arrived a few days ago. All of them work great (except for mame)

. The roms were burnt onto 4 CDs and 3 out of 4 CDs came out great. The other one had a mysterious burn mark on it and it is not letting me access the files on it. I'm checking to see if I can get a replacement.

Here's an interesting fact: if you played each one of those roms for only 1 minute each, you would have wasted 11.8 straight days of your life not having any real fun.

He can have the burn, so long as he eventually gets the point of my comment.

The real question: isn't there a limit to the number of pages a project announcement can become without any photos of said project (save for a few non-descript links).

Fine.... I'm too lazy to upload pictures usually. Ill upload them as it progresses. For now, I need a screen. I am installing windows server 2012 datacenter on my server right now. Ill install freeNAS as a vm on it and it will host all of my roms. What is the best replacement for a 25" CRT (besides a 25" CRT)

Why oh why would you bother installing freeNAS on a VM within a Server 2012 installation? What does freeNAS do that Server 2012 doesn't do natively? Or for that matter, since all you need is a network share, the server OS itself is yes, wait for it, complete overkill.
