My donkey kong blue cab build.
« on: November 23, 2011, 11:57:01 PM »
Hi all

Inspired by scr33N and the king of kong i started to build my own blue dk cabinet.
During this project i made a blog of it.
If you are interested you can follow the build via this link: http://www.ronsblog.nl
It will become a repro of the original except for the coin door and the arcade monitor.
Mame will be running and beside that i create a jamma circuit for my other boards.
Hope you enjoy it.

A big thanks to scr33N for inspire me. :)

Nice work so far.  You can use Ckongs paint code, it's almost perfect!

btw in what dining did you play donkey kong? And was it the original cabinet?

Thanks guys,

@ettiene, it's a dc7900.
@gyruss, it was in the center of Delft where the dinning room (snackbar) had a crazy kong. The other one in Delft had a original red DK  :D
@chrischris, i'm sure this will be changed in future  ;), although it looks very nice it's not the original feeling.
