Do you tinker more than you play?

Chris G:
Ok, I'll be the odd man out.  I know I'll never truly be "finished", however, I can't wait to get things stabilized so I can enjoy some serious gaming!  Part of the problem for me has been analysis-paralysis (and impatience) which has taken some of the fun out of the build.  I think once I get a completed "Version 1" and the gaming itch scratched, then I can relax and enjoy tinkering...

Once my cab is done it'll have some serious playtime upwards for 20 hours a week easy, maybe near 50 over the summer.  I have a lot of 2D fighter crazy friends, and we will play that thing until it breaks and I have to fix it again.

I do find the building process to be great.  I love restoring the cabinet.  Its also a bit of a learning experience and a teaching experience as I have not found any guides or information on the Megalo 410 cabinets to guide my restoration.  Right now I'm trying to find out how to get a new coin system working on it, since it is a top-insertion coin mech.

The hole is in the machine to accept coins, but perhaps someone can point me to a coin mech to attach to the machine?
Picture of what I am talking about:



You can see the coin slot to the upper right of the control panel, as it is now, putting anything into that slot will just allow it to fall into the machines insides.

I think the majority of people here find the same thing Panzer did. I know I'll feel the same once I complete my project. Maybe THATS why these projects take so long.

Luigi:
Here!  ::)


You can count the hours that I played at my Mame-Cab with just ONE HAND !!

But you need "I don't know how much, I stopped counting" hands to get all the hours I've spent building enhancements (or not).

The same in our arcade hall.....every time we meet there we almost just "tinker"....it's the others that come to visit and play  ;)

Another tinkerer here.
I finished off my cab the other day, played on it for a hour or two then started fiddling with updating mame and roms to newer versions. Then stopped that and started trying to get the picture more focused.
At the moment its in a state of not working...
