Title: RADICADE! - *Making Progress!*
Post by: xonix_digital on July 02, 2005, 05:51:35 pm
Hi guys, Just here to say that I am starting my first MAME project. It is going to be loosly based on the rather rare Bally pinball machine: RADICAL!.
Seen Here: http://home.comcast.net/~a_straffin/BALLY_-_RADICAL_1990.jpg
I am going to have a modded (xecuter) Xbox, with all of my favorite fighter games ripped to an upgraded hard drive. I will also have a MAMED PC using MAME 0.97 and MAMEwah. I am also designing my own mamewah skin to compliment the RADICAL! theme.
Here is the start of my marquee: (http://home.comcast.net/~a_straffin/Radicade---Finishedsm.gif)
As I am still in the designing stages I would really love as many Ideas as you guys can give me.
Thanks!

since it is going to be based on the xbox I made this up for the kick plate area. :)
[EDIT:] - The XBOX logo got BOUNCED!!!!
I'm thinking of changing it back to "digital". I think there might be too much 'cade'. ... lol.

I really like the marquee, and the rough version of the CP is nice aswell; it really has the right feel to it. I am not to keen on the kick plate, but it IS your machine! I think the X-Box logo throws off the warmer colors in the Radicade logo.

Here is an image of my CPO design. I Used MAMERoom CP Designer (so sick), and photoshop to create an actual size 37"x17" CPO. And the colors look a whole lot better in the .PSD document :) .
note: buttons will not be printed on (LOL), but I included them so you could see how the finished product will look. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Specs: 3/4" - 5/8" MDF - Undecided Vinyl printed CPO under plexi/lexan (for protection) Neon green T-Molding (thinking about half green(left) and half pink (right)) Happs Competition Joys (red) Happs HZ Micros for all buttons (see pic for colors) ------------------------------------------------------------------
T-Molding Concept: __________________________________________ greengreengreengreengre/pinkpinkpinkpinkpinkpinkp ------------------------------------------------ - note diagonal "slash" where two colors join.
also the right cab wall will be t-molded Pink and left wall molded with green.
any comments?
The T-Molding idea is just for fun I think it has potential to be sick but It might end up coming out sh***y.
Thanks guys!

I'm going to build a cab that looks (hopefully) like this. This is just a drawing I did in MSPaint but I have been trying to draw it in CADStd like all night with not much luck. Im just trying to figure out measurements that will work, and also look like this...
sorta...

After a long night of designing my own cab in CADstd I finally have all the dimensions perfect. I had to teach myself how to use it so It took me a while. (all nighter!) :-\
It may look like another cab to some of you but rest assured a whole lot of guesswork and a little luck went into getting this how I want it.
