Thread: JBs Arcade Machine

Cool, another arcade machine to follow the progress of. What games you going to load into this one jeremybnz?

I've got about 6000 MAME Roms with lots of classics like Raiden, Gyruss, Gauntlet etc... also later games like Mortal Kombat 3, Streetfighter etc... Was going to use Maximus Arcade for the frontend and it supports a whole raft of emulators so the skys the limit!

the classics are the best.

I will be building one myself when I finish my cnc router.

It's starting to look good, will be watching the progress. You are in for a hell of a lot of work with it but I reckon it's going to be worth it! If you are looking for inspiration or ideas I too am building one of these babies https://www.woodworkforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=28303

I need to update my progress as it's behind on what I've actually done - too busy finishing it. Hopefully it will be completed by this weekend.

Ciao,

Most of time is definately in the cutting and fitting, a cnc router would save a LOT of time and effort

Cheers Martin, been following your thread, looks very cool, need to take a few more pics of mine, just got the back door and monitor mount to add to mine and she'll be ready to paint!!

Making slow progress at present, haven't done anything for a couple of weeks, hoping to get some time in this weekend

Have a set of 4" fusion 2-way car speakers and a 2x100W amp for it now tho', should rock as a jukebox as well as arcade box

Monitor mount made up and rear door (not pictured) shes ready for sanding prep for primer and paint and then wiring

Control panel is painted and buttons etc installed, wiring to be done tonight

Looks like fun!

Watching in interest.

Cheers guys!!

Wiring is done and cabinet is primered, going on holiday now for 10 days but will be hitting it full on once I get home

Hmm, 1 small issue I see is that the buttons are on the wrong slant.

Im pretty sure its spose to be to the left not right?


Wouldnt make much of a difference thou

Buttons are on the correct slant dude

Some pics of the wiring for cabman, theres a green common ground that goes around all the switches and then each switch has a wire back to the appropriate connector on the controller
