AAE was the emulator. I'm not sure it was ever finished.That's the one -- the author (aae (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=14430)) gave up on it about 3 years ago. :badmood:

I can't seem to find a way to get into the frontendIf by "get into" you mean use, just launch "aae.exe" to start the built-in frontend shown below.

Been spending some quality time with sketchup, photoshop, and premiere and I've managed a janky version of a gameplay animation with moving buttons. The video I made first was way too busy. So I made another with less movements, shooting, and whatnot so it wouldn't take me a week to figure out. I had to crank up the brightness of the "monitor" quite a bit because of the perspective in the video. It was tough to really see what was going on. It's not great but I think it's kinda neat. Check it out.

This is the last non-build update, I swear.
??? I'm never getting a Yotsuya seal of approval. :'(
You know what this build is missing? An intricate and redundant pattern cut into the wood with a rotary tool. Then filled in with ball point pen.
Without that it's nothing......

Its a little late for this question LT, but where did you find your volcano buttons?I can give you a tip. You can buy the Atari Volcano cone from here:

*ducks and runs
Better idea then laminate: grab a wood grain pattern from the web, print it on an overhead transparency sheet, project that onto the side, then trace over the projection with a rotary tool to create An intricate and redundant pattern. Then fill it in with ball point pen, maybe some fancy brown ones that you'd find in the artistic section of the pen isle at Staples.
;D
I've been messing with the background and overlay.

Has an old school Apple feel to it.

While I get the aesthetics of CRT's over LCD's, I have tended to stick with LCD's (even replace with - yes I know :censored:) I use the excuse of weight / bulkiness / reliability / power consumption as reasons, but truth is it's just down to being too dam scared of them (received too many belts off CRT's in the 90's - I'm amazed I have kids)
But this project is making me coveting a cab exactly like this! So I guess I'm going to have to get over my fear of CRT's
- I'm really impressed with your build LT, love the look of the game, the CP and Bezel look amazing :applaud:
Now what? ???
Now what? ???
It reminded me of some game I played in school a long time ago. There was a little turtle in the center of the screen and you had to type long strings of commands. Something like F50, R35, F15, L45, etc... and then you'd hit enter or something like that and it would draw a pattern on screen based on the code. F=forward, R=turn right, L=left, blah blah blah... To say the memory is fuzzy is an understatement. But it was soemthing along those lines. I think. ???The programming language is called Logo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_%28programming_language%29).
Now what? ???
Now that you have finished another awesome build, you might consider to post it in the "I completed my project! I posted a pic and a link to my project thread" sticky so that future generations may gaze upon it in awe :)
I'm serious. This thing is awesome. Please post it in the sticky.
I miss my Apple IIc, :-\
http://youtu.be/z0lReH2PJyQ (http://youtu.be/z0lReH2PJyQ)omigosh! what am I doing with my life? That is awesome!
Love the audio. Did you consider having it say the whole name? ie "System override to sector Asteroids Original?"+1
It would be cool to hear "Would you like to play a game?" via War Games when the cab starts up. Silly I know but funny none the less.
Once you start using samples from popular movies, it becomes too hacky. Now, if it were re-recorded, that would be different. :cheers:
Of course you have a link for that. :P
I'm not sure, man. I've never actually seen a cabaret cab in person. I've never noticed any issues with the screen placement.
Here's a shot of me playing. I'm 5' 11" on a good day
Your best project yet, even better than the Mario pedestal. :cheers:
Both projects are just ---smurfing--- sweet, however i still feel that this lacks an intricate and redundant pattern cut into the wood with a rotary tool. Then filled in with ball point pen.
But it is spectacular none the less. ;D

Another brofist is in order, methinks.Your best project yet, even better than the Mario pedestal. :cheers:Is it too late to say I still think v1 of this concept is the best one? ;D
You need to make V1 at some point in time, bro. :cheers:Maybe a driving cab, if I fall into large sums of money in the future..
