Not much research at all. Only research has been on the Ultimate I/O controller, buttons, sticks etc. 

Finding places to precut things has been hard. Getting the perspex top for the control panel was a pain. Took 4 places before I found one that would do it.

Plans for the arcade woodwork I came across by accident. I heavily modified it to suit my needs.

The rest is just knowledge built up over years of experience. Building electrical switch boards for 10 years, electronics experience etc. Growing up with PCs.


Monitor has been mounted.

Well stop trying to upload dick pics!

The attachment system with this forum software is hit or miss. I've gotten that error too myself. And I'm the administrator! I should do what I want lol. I just wait and try again and it'll let me pass usually. I think one time I just changed the name.

The arcade is coming along nicely! How much research did you do to figure all this out?

EDIT: Just checked the settings for attachments. I have the attachment security settings not really set. Just size limits. It's probably just a glitch.

Happy Birthday board / Happy Birthday Cerberus

Happy Birthday Cerberus.

on this song, the aspect ratio of the video is incorrect which can be overlooked.  they edited out a few seconds of the beginning and the end of the song probably to not leave the clapping at the beginning and the end of the song intact which can be overlooked.  the frame rate is wrong which is unacceptable.

sorry i made a birthday thread so late on your birthday.  i did remember seeing your birthday name on the main forum early in the afternoon and forgot about it later until like over an hour ago was when i remember.

so what did you do and get on your birthday?  how are you btw?

Yo yo yo, update time..  So i've finished the main cab vinyl wrapping, fans, grills, mounting power supplies, channels for RGB leds,

PC is mounted on rails too, so i can pull it out to do maintenance.  I also 3D printed out a lot of stuff, placards, mounts for power supplies etc.

I've just finished 3D printing out a mount for the monitor. Which i'll install tomorrow.  I've also got a Perspex top for the control panel routed and ready to go.

Things i've got left to do.

• Make doors for front, and 2 for the rear and vinyl wrap them.
• Mount the control panel and control panel box. (have to wrap some panels for the box and install hinges)
• Mount the rear power plug port (for IEC plug)
• Install RGB lights and front RGB light display in front door.
• Install 28inch LCD Marquee.
• Install
  
• Wire the speakers, sub woofer
• Install the roms, gui etc

Then after i've mounted all this i have to mount the power supply for all the buttons (leds), trackball, Joysticks, 2x ultimate I/O interfaces for the controls.
Finally install a Tempered Glass sheet for the front of the arcade and mark out the vinyl to cover the areas around the monitor on it.

Happy Birthday board / Happy Birthday videoholic

Happy Birthday videoholic.

on this song, the aspect ratio of the video is somewhat incorrect which can be overlooked.  the frame rate is wrong which is somewhat unacceptable.  the video should be in 60i instead of 24p which means 12i or 6p has been truncated.

so what did you do and get on your birthday?  how are you doing btw?

The PS2 and 360 are about the same size. The 360 I think is slightly bigger. But not by much.

yeah.  didn't know xbox uses pc disc drive until you explained it.  didn't even know that the xbox 360 disc drive is locked to a specific systems serial number either.

speaking about size, the xbox360 is probably much smaller than the ps3 but just minutes ago i remembered that the 360 uses an external power supply unlike the ps3 where the power supply is internal which might means make the xbox 360 smaller than it already is.

just for curiosity.  is the xbox360 smaller than the ps2 since you have both systems?
