Got a couple of questions if I may why another coin slot and is that a dedicated light in the computer area?

The idea of the light seems like a good idea would keep me from juggling a flash light while working on something.

yeah the light is dedicated it switches on when i open the door the 220v coming inside the cab i split one for a wall plug and splited to the light fixture

i must add another coin slot because the coin in for mame is on my left flipper button and my coin voor visual pinball on the two player button

one coin slot for mame one for Vp

Check out this thread for more info:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=89086.0

I've got my cursor completely hidden, with a custom boot screen. I've set Mamewah as my shell, so I boot straight to my FE -- after a pretty cool XP startup screen, of course. No cursors anywhere.

Start-up time to game time is somewhere in the area of 30 seconds, but I'll time it to make sure.

I'll see if I can get a video of it to share.

njay:
Sorry for the double post but when i type long messages the message input field goes crazy with IE 8

ow yeah for people wondering why i kept the original coin input above my new coin slot well it like some old stuff still on the cap it's really an old pinball champ from 95

tommorow:

im going to get 2 types of paint one black for the two metal parts holding the x-arcade
and 1 for the crt bezel to paint black also...
pics to come   :tool:

njay:
well paint is sitting on my work desk,

i will start by spraying the monitor maybe 2 or 3 times with a black color.

no that must be someone else.

well you could use screws.. but from what i've seen usually the plexi or glass slides up into a gap between the monitor and the wood that makes up the where the speakers are..

the bottom part would extend down below the top of hte CP and the glass would sit on a little ledge.

then the CP would be clamped down securing itself and also the glass.

not sure if that would work in your cas, but you could probably some a piece of metal at the bottom for retaining it, assuming you have a gab at the top of the monitor to still slide it up.
