[CABINET] Showing off my project for GameEx Cabinet

[Crippius]

Hi

Painting is done. 2 primer and 5 black coats. Its not totally perfect but I give up. I hate painting and I don't have the will nor the patience to spend one week on this. I tried to wet sand between coats but that not really worked the way I would.

That's not bad anyway.

So I worked late yesterday to mount the buttons, IT and Audio. Everything's good.

To answer tthurman: the trackball is not steel but illuminated... And I absolutely hate it. I ordered a blue and received this ugly green. I will have to either change their LEDs with blue or remove them.

Drawer Opened/Closed

That's the bottom CP when the drawer is opened: everything's accessible so its very convenient for maintenance and 4/8 way switch.

Somewhat clear wiring wiring

Tomorrow I'll show you some pictures in darkness with all the blue light fancy things I put everywhere

That's trackball's definitely green!!! See you're in europe - where did you buy it from? - just handy to know who to/not to buy parts from!

Oh... and nice shot of yer washing

Thanks for the compliment I'll pass the message to the wife

Yesterday evening I placed all the button LEDS and micro switches, then I made a daisy-chain out of power wires that I recuperated on 2 old PSU.

P1 controls ground is done

Slowly but surely

A few questions from an IPAC2 noob to pros

1. I thought to assign the IPAC SHIFT to the PAUSE key, which is the white on the middle edge. Is that a good idea ? Apparently it is set by default on P1 Start.

2. I have placed 2 buttons on each side for the flipper, where should I plug them? I mean which IPAC2 entry is the more convenient in terms of gameplay, config and usability?

I have never played with your flipper emulators.

3. I absolutely need an efficient and highly responsive combination to control the volume. It should be WINDOWS WIDE, and not MAME/GameEx only.

I thought to SHIFT (Pause) + joystick or trackball up and down. Is this a good idea and as anyone have a good working software/plugging for doing that? Something win7 compatible.

Have you posted this over at BYOAC?

I have an older ipac2, but Jack at Arcades R Fun built my controller (yep, I took the easy way out) so I never delved into the world of initial setup on these.
