New Control Panel &
Artwork |

 |
Finally I recieved my Sanwa balltop
joysticks and new buttons. Now it was time to make a new af much
better controlpanel in steel and plexi. The metal and plexi were
cut on a laser. You can mount your
joysticks invisible too, with this bracket:

 |
I also created my own custom made
controlpanel art in illustrator. This makes it so much more fun
to play and looks awesome to me :)
The result was absolutely stunning!!! |
 |
Time to wire up the whole thing. Takes a
long time, but eventually it worked fine. Im still using my
x-arcade PCB. Wondering if I should get an I-PAC? Maybe, maybe
not. |
 |
I decided to make my own custom made marquee
in adobe illustrator. I had it printed in a local copy-shop. The
result was very nice i think.

controlpanel and marquee.

Finally i recieved my vinyl artwork for the
kickplate, speakers and front of controlpanel.
I also recieved a bezel artwork, but desided not to use it. It
was too confusing to look at. |

Time to mount the artwork. |

Here it's installed in the cabinet. It
wasn't as hard as I expected, the vinyl was exelent to use. |

middle is from the original Galaga artwork. |

If you decide to make your own MAME cabinet using my drawings, please feel free to
make a donation, as I'm trying to raise enough money to make a new
up-right cabinet, that's hard to do as a student. |
