My first mame bartop cabinet (wip)
sinatra:
I didn't get as much done today as I had hoped.
Simply too cold for woodworking in my dad's garage.
So I stayed inside and soldered the microswitches for the CP.
Player one was ready, so I just had to try out some 1944.
What a difference from using keyboard or gamepad.
Now, I really look forward to get this thing finished.
Player one wires soldered and connected to the i-pac
And player two
Coin and exit buttons added. It looks like some Italian dish, but works perfectly :D
Let's hope it's not this cold tomorrow, so I can do some more on the cabinet itself

I get that same thrill whenever I get new one set up and running! 8)
What kinda joys are those?
Oh, and what is the temp there? It's -6 right here at the moment. Not conducive to outside activities!
sinatra:
Back at my dad's garage today. It's -4 (Celsius) right now. But I managed to put some clothes on so I could do some MDF cutting. It's the side panels that needs to be cut out.
Here's the left (or right) side cut out.
It's not perfectly straight, so I need to sand it down or something before I use the router and flush bit to cut out the other side.

The joys are suzo universal 500 with 38mm ball handles. I chose them because they reminded me of one of the joysticks I had for my Commodore 64 back in the days.
This one:

Sanded down inperfections to the sidepanel and routed the second one flush to it.
Last thing to do with the wood before I can start mounting it, is to cut a hole for the monitor.
*Scratching my head*
Should I do it right away. I feel like I'm on a roll here.
......
update: Decided to do it right away
Here it is. Upside down.
Now. Time for mounting the pieces together
