MVS-99-6 - Project on hold until further notice (2014-03-10)
Yvan256:
I found a problem with the way I wanted to install my LCD mini-marquee... installed sideways, you can barely see what's displayed because it looks all washed-out. The viewing angles weren't designed for that orientation. :'(
So my only hope was to try and install it vertically, but would I even have enough space to do that? The PCB of the LCD is much taller than the LCD itself and it just wouldn't fit between the top and bottom panels of the marquee holder.
But it does fit in the overall height, if I cut the top panel...
After about 2 hours of cutting away the MDF with a small utility knife*, I was finally able to install the LCD vertically. The hole at the top will be hidden by the marquee holder. My cutout is mis-shaped because I had to clear room for two surface-mount components on the back of the PCB.
I also tried to take a photo of the LCD, once again displaying the Rygar marquee, but it's nearly impossible because the backlight seems to overpower the camera.
* no fingers were cut during the production of this update.

Two updates and over 400 additional views later and still no comments? ???
I know I'm not as good as Ond, Pixelhugger and others, but... I like comments too!

it looks really good. I was kinda shocked to see my old MAME cab in your thread. Wait until you see what Im working on now. I'm pretty sure my niche is going to be putting giant CRTs in cabinets that they shouldn't fit in.
I love NeoGeo ( i miss my neogeo cabs) and now thanks to your thread I miss my MAME cab too :p
