well here it is, the one that shows a patch was due to changing from crt to hdtv, and the lcd didnt fit by 3/8, so i had to violate it lol
It has seen better days, plexi glass is gone, its all scratched up by my kids, but it works

Do you have the plans for it still? Also, what are all your buttons? I found some plans I liked on the net, but I'm not sure if I really need all of it. Did you go w/ 4-way or 8-way joysticks?

**AlexDC22** · 03-02-2011,06:50 PM

at the time the 4way where cheap, so i went with that, tho i would suggest you go with 8 tho.

as for plans, sorry bud, i just pictured it in my head, and went to town, most plans i saw online , the cab was ratter small, mine stands at 6-1/2 feet.
and their design was not to my liking.

i went with hagstron 32 i believe is called for the main connection, basically 32 inputs is what i have.

also if i where you, i try to go with a trackball, that way you dont need a mouse.
i bought all my parts from a store in illinoise, happ controlls i think is called, but its been a while so i could be wrong

heres the wiring, not that bad to do, tho it looks a bit scary lol

**chesh** · 03-02-2011,07:09 PM

Someone on the project arcade forums posted their wiring setup just recently. They used Cat5 for all of it and wall panel plates for the connections. That way their control panel was completely modular. I'm thinking I might do the same. Cleans up the wiring completely, and you've got 8 wires to play w/ with every cat5 cable. I see that you didn't go with the module that lights up the individual buttons based on what you're playing though. I'm thinkin about springing the extra cash just for that. How's the LCD in the cabinet treating you? I've hear mixed results.

**AlexDC22** · 03-02-2011,07:14 PM

yeah, back then i dont even know if they had such a thing, but then again it was my first and only time dealing with this, but yeah that sounds a lot better, i would go that route aswell, to bad i didnt knew about it then.
got a link to that please? would like to check it out.

the lcd works good on my end, no problems whatso ever, when i first installed it, there was some flickering, but it was due to settings in my crossfire setup, but yeah, games look good when using filters lol

btw this aint offtopic, i can actually play mame with the ps move and the sharp shooter

What'd it take to get the move to work with your cabinet?
