Restoration
Stay tuned ... :P

Yes!!!
It's gonna be something very interesting to follow. I'm also very curious to see all the differences between your US cabinet and my European one :P
-
This one will be back to life after it has been "scr33nified" :D
-
damn i´m jealous on this one!
But i´m sure the final "product" will be excellent!
-
I actually could have bought this.....but Milano........beautiful city but so FAR ! :S
Gonna love this thread !!! Go Scr33n !
-
I know exactly how you should handle this. You have to take exact measurements of each and every piece of wood of the cab, including angles etc., and then ship the empty shell to The Netherlands, East part of it. You of course will remain with everything you need to know for another one of your superb cab builts. ;D ;D

Good luck for your project.
Q*Bert is a must have.

good luck, scr33n, with your first restoration. but why don't you do yourself a favor and put a real pcb inside this time? you'll realize that it'S a completely different feeling to "go original".
btw, was this really offered up on ebay italy?

Thanks to everyone on DLF forum and this time a great thanks to Stefano/Robotype for his help with cab measures and cab transport :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
Next ??? ....... a new video - stay tuned :)

Outstanding! Curious to see this new machine close to your scratch build replicas :spaceace:
-
incredible work as always - and extremely fast! the only question remaining is: what's running inside the cabinet? computer or original hardware?
-
Great job Scr33n, as always :-*
Now, I've a competitor for Q*Bert ;) Do not forget the High Score rule : you can *bump* your topic each time you beat someone ;D (Grrr... you still got the Galaga record by the way :P)
I presume you're using advance mame, because on the high score table, it only saves the ten first scores, like my config' ;)

Nice 8)
I had the same idea (I've done a similar thing for my Galaga cab [Galaga/Galaga88] or Nintendo cab' [DK/DK jr/DK3 /RadarScore/Crazy Kong], but for Q*Bert, I knew I'll only play the common original version, so I didn't use a menu and only boot to THE game ;)
