Finished building the rotary board tonight. Got a bit better at the mid wire measuring and stripping as I went along.


So now we have full support for four games.

Vigo sent me a Time Soldiers board (thanks Vigo you rock!) to add to Ikari and Heavy Barrel so I still have one slot left for a future rotary.

Hopefully I'll install all this this tomorrow and shoot some video of the switching and game play

*THAT* is awesome.  I've only played rotary games once or twice as a kid.  They look kinda fun!

Smart people that build kick ass machines like this suck......

Damn Griffin the Maximus.........

Hmmm.  Ikari III The Rescue on local craigslist for ~$350...

Nah, wife'd kill me.

Another top-shelf build. 

[Maximus]

Thanks Fellas.

Yep it's pretty much finished, I have a spare slot to fill and I'll have to make another couple of rotary harnesses if I do put the last game in, but for these three everything is working great.

A little advice for anyone considering building a multi-Jamma cab. DON'T DO IT!!!!

It's really not worth the time, cost and technical headaches even if you are just doing standard sticks. The games all have different sizes on the monitor, different sound levels, then there's power needs etc etc. Just get a cheap computer, MAME and be done with it. If you feel strongly about the legal issues then fine, buy the boards of the games you are going to play, throw them in a shopping bag and chuck it in the bottom of the cabinet and then just play the MAME ROMs.

But that being said, it's a cool cabinet, not many multi-rotary cabs around so it's nice to be able to say I built one.

Let's call this a warp.

Someone didn't want me hot linking their pic.  When I posted it showed a goatse that said no hot linking.  The picture below is what I meant.  And rablack I don't have a glue sniffing problem.  I can quit anytime I want.  But I do have a drinking problem...

Love how these threads denigrate in to hilarity.  It's Bob approved

Ikari and Heavy Barrel are feckin' awesome. Like Paperboy they are those type of games that you simple have to play using the proper controls.

[mcseforsale]

True that!  2 of my fave games as kids suck emulated.  1.) Paperboy 2.) 720

There could be a 720 in my future. Someone I know has one on a circuit says I can have it, and we close escrow on the house tonight so fingers crossed...

[Vigo]

Didn't get to see the video until now. Wow, that looks great!  That really looks like a lot of fun. Excellent work.

  I hope this one happens. I would love to see a 720 get the care that you give to your projects.

Heh, was looking at that one, too 

However, I noticed it's a horizontal game. Guess you couldn't use this PCB as your 4th, Maximus? Come on, you can add a rotating tube in that cab    What -would- you like to have as the 4th game?

Your closing on building multi- games got me thinking of a Rotary Mame build for the collection....

With that one, you'll still need an encoder for the joystick U, D, L, R and player buttons.

Consider using a KADE/AVR Encoder instead -- the easily customizable rotary firmware supports either 2 rotary joysticks and 6 buttons (3 per player) or 1 rotary joystick and 6 buttons. (the 3 preset maps are Player 1 + 2, Player 1, and Player 2)

Cool thanks for the tip

If I can get that cabinet, I'll have another project to add to the to-build list.
Otherwise I'll hold off and focus on my cabaret and X-men builds. If not in an acquired full size cab, I'm thinking "rotary bar-top", or is that too small?

[PL1]

I'm thinking "rotary bar-top", or is that too small?

Depends on whether you use Happ Rotary Sticks (below) or LS-30s. (Like Joel used in this build.)

The biggest issue will be clearance under the CP.

Picked up an Ikari II: Victory Road Jamma board for slot number 4, so once that arrives we'll be out of Vacancies. Then it will just be a case of assploding as many things with twisty bullets and grenades as possible from here on into eternity.

[Maximus]

Finally filled that fourth slot with some Victory Road goodness

Really?  That was plan B for 2014.

BTW Good show!

You know, despite how awesome his Paperboy is and how innovative Revolution is, this is the Griffindod build I'm the most jelly of.  Wish it was in my house (except I'd have put Caliber .50 in it)

2nd. Except I think that V-Pin build will trump this in level of "jelly-ness".

No wait, the StarWars Rebel build.

(sigh, need to get going on projects)

[Maximus]

He he thanks guys. Most of my projects are in a bit of a holding pattern right now while we continue to get the new house into shape, here's my current project...



This is the platform I'll be building my 12x16 workshop on which will be dedicated space for my builds and restos.

[mcseforsale]

OUch.  That makes my knees ache.

yeah that's why I'm paying that guy in the photo to do it
