New MAME arcade cabinet project

[Goldberg]

Urgh! Your right to move the buttons to the right, Player 2 is screwed if they are right handed lol.

I would love to say 'Looking Good' but wires and random bits of wood everywhere make it an obvious work in progress lol.

Good stuff however! I am sure it is going to look great when done.

Are you putting light gun(s) on it?

Yea I toyed with the joystick because my youngest and wife are lefties but to be honest its crap lol so he will have to learn as a right hander!

Hopefully this weekend I can push on with it, gonna strip the remaining golden tee gear out and mount my pc properly in there and fingers crossed the wood turns up for the console, but yep like I said work in progress lol, as for light guns yes I do want to, they have some kits on ultimarc but I can't afford them yet but yes its in the final plan as is a spinner but again as and when.

You going for 1 trackball or two?

[sirdave]

Was only going to go for one, can't make my mind up on where to put it, obviously in the middle but not sure on the height hard to judge without having the actual consol there, the trackball I've got is just a big mouse really not a proper arcade trackball so I was going to fit the left and right buttons to the side of the cabinet aswell, it came of eBay, if I can get the original golden tee one working I will use that but its faulty and I just want it up and running now so will be a job for the future!

Added a few more pics going to use the missile switch as a shift key, my kids saw it in maplins and want it lol, got to pick my router up to fit the track ball then get it covered in vinyl, got to mount the speakers inside yet but want to strip them out the housing so I can mount the volume control outside, but as it stands the boys are using it :-) and I'm enjoying building it with them :-)
