Gauntlet Legends Daphne/Mame Project - COMPLETE -

[Darth Nuno]

 
Hi Folks,

I'm starting my new project :



See the progress here : http://www.dragonslair.be

I need some help about joyticks please... Can you help me to name the Gauntlet Legends Joysticks ? Possible to use them as a 4 or 8ways Joy' ?

Thanks

[mozzer]

Please don't mess with that beautiful artwork.....

Wow man, I can't argue with the love for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, but don't cut up that awesome Gauntlet machine.

Destroying a machine for MAME or Daphne goes against the whole purpose of those projects... Preserve Arcade Life!

Find a DEAD cab... or even better, a non working DL or Space Ace and make that a dedicated Daphne machine.

That would rock so hard.

[RayB]

If you look at his site you'll see that he is keeping the original control panel as-is, but will be using a second panel he has for the MAME/Daphne...

[Lilwolf]

don't those cabinets still sell for a ton?

You might want to sell it and build your own...

You might find that you could finance your entire cabinet + parts.

[GGKoul]

If your interested, I have the follow for sale.

I strongly agree, don't destroy a working arcade machine that looks nice for a mame cabinet, go buy some MDF .......

[Darth Nuno]

Hey the3eyedblindman,

Check the WIP, you'll see that I won't modify anything on the CAB    

[Darth Nuno]

OK, new addition : a power/reset switch, HDD & power led Custom control pannel.

the full Gauntlet Dark Legacy control panel

[Quarters]

Hi Darth

I just wanted to say great job preserving that cab. Gauntlet Legends has to be the best looking cabinet ever produced .

[Darth Nuno]

Thanks Quarters

[Darth Nuno]

... I've just received the latest Gauntlet Legends I was waiting for

[Bomber]

Hi Darth

I just wanted to say great job preserving that cab. Gauntlet Legends has to be the best looking cabinet ever produced .

And I just wanted to say that tablecloth is one of the best looking ever produced also. 

That cab looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Darth Nuno]

Ok, because I want to

[Darth Nuno]

I got a new tool : a ROUTER :



I just need some pratice before use it on the real control panel

[Darth Nuno]

...today I've added the Happ Trackball + the world *famous* tornado spinner

[GGKoul]

I still have the Gaunlet Legends CP artwork available.

[Darth Nuno]

Happy new year to all of you !

Ok, this morning I've installed the first Happ Super Joystick on my custom control panel

[Darth Nuno]

... still continue to work on the control panel... There it is now :



Any good advice for others element to add on it

[Darth Nuno]

Install others buttons, spinner and IPAC 4 :

I didn't read up on your website, but I hope you'll be changing those phillips head screws/bolts out with carriage bolts.  After you chew your hand up on them, I think you'll know why you should.

[Darth Nuno]

My forum board has been hacked today by some son of B@!
My previous backup are 15 day old

[Darth Nuno]

The forum with the WIP is up again 

[Darth Nuno]

few minor updates : Control Panel partially fixed, new sound system, DVD drive fixed...

...and Daphne running :

[Gunstar Hero]

Why didn't you put the overlay on before installing all those controls?

[Darth Nuno]

Why didn't you put the overlay on before installing all those controls?

Simple, because I knew I had to wait severals weeks for receiving T-Molding and the T-Molding slot cutter assembly from US... Remember, I'm from Belgium and most of arcade parts used are coming right away from US

[Gunstar Hero]

Cool.

As long as you're happy!

[Darth Nuno]

Yeah 

The project is DONE

Very Cool! Good job preserving that cab!

[Will]

Nice work Darth, any chance your going to touch up those scratches on the purple part of cab?

[Darth Nuno]

Very Cool! Good job preserving that cab!

Thanks the3eyedblindman ,

When I got this cab, the condition was really good, and it would be a crime to transform without being able to go back at any time... Yes I can revert it to the dedicated condition... I have so many Gauntlet Legends spare items now

[Darth Nuno]

Nice work Darth, any chance your going to touch up those scratches on the purple part of cab?

Hi Will,

I would like to found a spare Control Panel front sticker, or maybe a repro to cover the last few scratches... It would be perfect then... 

But I'm really happy with that of course 

[tommy]

Would you be interested in trading me something for your gauntlet legends pcb
