Still in progress:

Painted inside white and outside black. (nice on the inside with white, and the vinyl art will stick better on paint, besides it's better looking untill i get the vinyl)

Looks good! That's what I'm doing next - sanding today, and hopefully paint.

Wiring - It's a bitch, and i'm only at the first buttons...
Don't get me wrong, i know my way around the wires, it's just... not that much fun

I think you have to be really detail oriented to enjoy doing neat wiring - otherwise it's just a chore. It's hard work to do nicely either way, but if you're of the right type of mindset, you can enjoy it - just not everyone is of that type of mind *grin*.

Sigh, wasted about 2 hours trying to find why my left speaker did not work, resoldered all the wires, checked and rechecked, untill i found the problem:
The F***ING miniphono plug had popped out and was not pushed all the way in.
That's it, im going to sleep!

Found my oldest girl (2½ years) playing in my gameroom.
She was "drawing" on my dmd screen that i left on the table.
Instead of using a pen, she was using my phillips screwdriver!!!


Guess it's my own fault, but thank god the dmd speaker grill covers that part!

(The playfield and backbox tv is now on a shelf 1.5 meters above the floor)

Thank goodness it was only the DMD and the speaker grills can cover it up and it wasn't the playfield!!!!!!!

I have 3 year old twins that are the reason I shave the hair off my head. Saves me pulling it out.

OH, wow. Let that be a lesson to us all. "No Kidz Allowed" sign over the gameroom.

I did a bad, bad, BAAAD thing!


Hooked everything up, just to try the hardware... now i can't stop playing.

I KNEW this would happen, I've read it in so many posts!

But i like it!

Haha. I had the same thing happen - I had the displays, uncased, sitting on the floor, all hooked up to my cabinet PC in my home office for weeks. Not a lot got done in the evenings - I was too busy sitting on the floor, playing Attack From Mars, High Speed II, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Awesome tables!

Been playing for a week ,my LedWiz came today (Got "caught" in customs, had to pay 35% extra plus a fee to the postal office *hate*).
So now i took it all apart again to do some more wiring to the lights and start figuring out the LedWiz "coding", it looks simple enough

[Lobotomy]

Done with the led/button wiring, still got some tidying up to do, but it's not THAT bad...
Got some temporary wiring for the power just to try things out =)

OMG i Killed... the Project....

Well not really, during my vacation we found a new house, and well.... Bought it.
So my project is in a couple of boxes at the moment, but i WILL be back =)

(Already have the design for the next one ready, so i have to finish this one first)

[Lobotomy]

I'm BACK! =)

Been alot of work selling our old, and moving to our new house, and new houses often bring trouble, so did this one =).
But im kinda done with the worst parts of the house, so now i can focus on my long lost project!!! =))))

Did some cpr on that old thing (been in boxes for like 6 months!), and.... IT'S ALIIIIIVE!!

I really, really missed my project and the community that comes with it... now i have alot of catching up to do!

ok, so now i need help!
I did finish the four cree's on top of the cabby, and when i play AFM it stutters like crazy having those RGB cree's flashing, anything i missed? do i lack cpu power or what? =)

Anywho, any responce is gratefully recieved! ooh, and i did purchase some upgrades like a better PSU and a new gfx for the dmd and backglass =)

Happy to be back! =)
