New Mame Invaders Module!
« on: April 08, 2006, 04:44:17 pm »
Hello All!....

as usual I can't stop myself from creating module after module for my Mame Invaders cab.

I present the latest entry--

TRIGGER JOY!

I used an analogue Happ Atari Trigger Guard Stick with an APac to make it USB plug/play.

This was reasonably easy to do. The hardest part was fitting it into an XArcade Solo shell (yes...that makes 6 of these I've gutted to date-- and I have another module in progress to be revealed soon).

The depth of the stick was about 1/2" too deep so I had to add "risers" in the top to give me depth. Then once I got the depth I needed I realized that the wire coil around the wires (they protect the wires at the bottom of the stick) was scraping the bottom of the XArcade by about 1/16" of an inch.

I pulled out my trusty Dremmel router and took care of that problem.

Thankfully the stick works perfectly...and I have to give a BIG thank you to Mark Shaker for tons of suggestions and guidence. Also a thank you to Andy at Ultimarc for his great above and beyond service as always.

Enjoy!--

Great job!

If I had the time, money, and motivation for all of these little projects, I guarantee I'd have a room full of MAME cabs with dedicated control schemes.

Mitch,

That looks terrific!

Nosy Q: Why did you choose to mount the stick on the left?

Lefties make things difficult for us "normal" people.  ;)

Damn, that's slick.

I remember the old days, when it was nothing but a X-Arcade, a Dreamcast steering wheel, and a giant SEGA label.

Mame Invaders has come a long way baby!!

I just store them in the original XArcade solo boxes....

I have one more that I want to make then I'll take photos of all of them....
those XArcades solos make great project boxes!
