(12-06-2012) It Lives!

Tonight the arcade machine is fully playable.  All of the controls are wired up and the PC power switch turns on/off everything.  Hit the power button, it boots into Hyperspin and away you go.  There is a list of things left to do: side art, marquee, painting, external power switch, t-molding, marquee light.  Still, it's fully playable and the rest are to just make it a little bit nicer and pull it all together.  I hope the t-molding arrives soon so I can finish up the cabinet.

(12-02-2012) Arcade machine nears completion


Today was a big day.  The cabinet (most of it) got some black paint, the control panel was mounted and some of the final wiring was done.  All of the controls have been tested and everything works.  Still lots to do to finish it up, but it's getting very close now.
