Mame Invaders!

first of all... nice cab.... new artwork does make a BIG difference !!!....

as for the x-arcade... take your time and think it out...

no need to rush on it.... (although I'm with the group...)
it doesn't quite match the rest of the cab...

easiest for you to do... ( I think...)

detach the x-arcade... (which you can easily do...)
then open up the bottom... and take out the stick and the buttons... then just redo that top piece.... maybe peel out the laminate and put another thing in there....
or change that top piece.... with a matching artwork...

Its like a dog turd on the Mona Lisa.  Good work.  Lose the x controller.

Just kidding.

its not like mine is any prettier....
mine is just a computer desk.... ok... an ugly computer desk...
*** sigh ***....

so.... plz... no hard feelings....  

just enjoy your cab.... its all good as long as it works...

Peer pressure is a @#%$& aint it?  Don't let people talk you into something you don't want to do.  Personally I agree with everyone that the xarcade doesn't look so hot, but it seems there is a reason for it and sometimes functionality trumps aesthetics.  I say give it a couple weeks and then make up your mind, the only person who really has to like it is you.  As someone suggested you could simply put some matching graphics on it to tie it in better.  Having said that, I certainly doubt you will be disappointed you put in some extra work on that final detail of the cab, in the end it is obviously up to you.

....*sniff*.....*sniff*....k'.  

Seriously though...this is a funny group....that's why I like all of you so much!....the peer pressure is sometimes the best part that pushes us to work a little harder on the next try....

I probably won't redo the panel right away (if at all....but, I probably will at least redecorate it); but  after seeing so many fantastic cabs....I HAD to redecorate mine!....that's what's so much fun about this hobby. You can keep morphing your cab.

Besides...I have no space for a 3rd cab...so I may as well work on the XArcade.

DUDE!!

I need a giant SEGA label!

Where did you dig that thing up?

The MAME Invaders art rocks hard, don't get me wrong, but I do like that SEGA logo.

(refrains from an X-Arcade comment... or does he?)

...I got if from this guy (Dave from the Dragon's Lair Project)...and I'm pretty sure he has more....only $15.00 per sticker...NOS. He was a good guy...and shipped fast!

I accidently ruined both of them upon removal from the sides....don't hate me! ..... I was pretty pissed at myself for that already....good luck!!!

I love the MAME Invaders artwork. Really, really improved the overall look of the cab.

... I won't badger you about the xarcade.
