Sorry about the lack of glamor on this page
right now. It's getting late but I wanted to get this out on
the internet right away. I'll make the page look
more pretty once I have a few minutes! Anyways, who cares
about the webpage, here's some pictures of the finished arcade
machine!!
The black glass turned out
niecly! The screen area fits just about perfectly in
there!
You can sort of see the side art here, and the guns are in place here as well
(although not yet configured yet in the software):
Here's just a side shot of the gun in the
holster:
Amazing!
Here you can see the art work on the side the
best. Overall, I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with how
everything looks!!!
Also, here is a video I posted on You Tube! There is sound,
but it's not required unless you care to hear The Postal
Service. :o) Otherwise just enjoy a closer view of my
arcade machine!
UPDATE 1/16/2010
Well, it's actually been a long time since I
made these updates to my arcade machine, but I've been so lazy that
I haven't updated the web page until now. Here's another
video that I've put on YouTube. I've upgraded my buttons
on my control panel so that they are all illuminated. Is
this ridiculous? Yes. But does it look super
cool? HECK YES! Also, it does also have an
additional benefit too. When you start up a game, it
will only light up the buttons that are needed for that game.
So if a game only uses 1 button, only that one button will be lit
up. etc etc. Anyway, check out the video. It
gives a little walk through of how I have my front end, mala, set up
as well.
Well, I hope you enjoyed reading about
my arcade machine as much as I've enjoyed building
it. I just can't
believe that
I made something so cool when I had so little knowledge
to begin with! Not sure there will too many
more updates to these pages now since the arcad machine is finished.
