Post by: davepeck on August 04, 2005, 12:51:33 am: update...

for those of you who might think this is a \'fun\' project, here\'s what i spent my night doing...

went from this:

to this:

wiring the buttons/joysticks - NOT FUN!! pain in the balls, actually.. spent about 5 hours tonight cutting, stripping, and crimping close to 60 wires, and that\'s only half of it! now i\'ve gotta run a single wire to every single one of those little fuckers for the ground.. NOT FUN!!

this is definitely the worst part.. definitely not the hardest part, but by far the most tedious.. on the bright side though, it *should* be smooth sailing after this i\'m done with the wiring.. *fingers crossed*

Post by: FrankZappa on August 02, 2005, 04:19:37 pm: you should activate the coin slot and call it \'Dave\'s piggy bank". Make some $$ off people when they play it.

unless of course, that it has monkey ball, then it should always be free. ;)

is it actual pinball or video pinball??

both really.. it\'s called pinmame.. people took the pinball machines you play in the arcade, and fully emulated them to play on the computer. you can\'t see it in the pic, but under the top of the gameboard on the sides, that\'s where i put the pinball flippers. i\'m going to be adding a plunger at some point as well, to make it more realistic.

here\'s an example of a machine in pinmame:

Congrats on the progress. Do you have Dragon\'s Lair?

daphne is the name of the emulator that runs all the laserdisc games (DL, DL2, Space Ace, etc)..

how much to build me one?
aren\'t you the kid that\'s always crying poverty?

Depends. If stating that not being able to afford a 70 cent bag of skittles is crying poverty, yes, that\'d be me. I make plenty of money, my problem is I\'m in big enough debt right now it basically goes right through my bank account into other\'s pockets. Only three or four more weeks of giving 85-90% of my paycheck to others and you bet your ass I am gonna go buy a bag of rainbow colored candies.

just to give you a REALLY rough idea...

computer: $500
video card: $100
monitor: $550
gutted cabinet: $50
coin door: $150
building supplies: $250
joysticks, buttons, etc: $100
trackball: $100
spinner: $50
control interfaces: $150

like i said, that\'s really rough... i\'m probably missing a lot in that list..

funny thing about that - you may notice that my AIM SN is mkdevo.. that is also my handle on pretty much every other forum i\'m on.. the mk is actually for Mortal Kombat.. when the original MK came out in the arcade in 1992, i was an absolute fiend.. it was all i used to play. constantly.. right around that time was also when i first got aol, and i picked MKDevo for my screen name.. the rest is history... :)

Post by: bluefunknebula on September 17, 2003, 05:14:00 pm: maybe call it UGLATTO or MONGOLOID? My friend built a game cabinet a few years ago with everything from colecovision and atari up to the current arcade games. he just keeps adding more to it...like the roller controller so we can play all the Golden Tee\'s.
