Long weekend = New Cab Progress


Recommended Posts

Have made a few leaps forward on the Pacman-Qbert Multi Cabinet.

 

Decided to put some overlay on the panel behind the screen

Black laminate to the sides - bunnings $99.00 for enough for 2 sides

 

Used spray on glue, that is good shit, took minutes to dry

 

Needed lots of weight till it dried

They have marble type colours only, about 10 different ones. The only plain colours are white and black

Does anyone know where to get a Custom CPO made in Australia?

I live in Perth, but anywhere in OZ will do for vinyl printing

Here's a crazy CPO I made, I hate it. LOL

 

I painted the Picture in Corel paint to see if it looked any good. Noooo it suxxxx

 

(the cab is bare particle board still)

 

The CPO is real, printed on A4 photo paper, and sticky taped to the Control panel

 

Here's a good laugh!

Love the cab, laminate looks the goods:cool:

but agree you must change that control panel artwork;), are you having the Joystick setup for Q-bert, and won't that make it difficult to play Pacman:unsure

Keep the pics rolling :)

I know there is a OR GATE circuit available to play Q*Bert on a Horizontal Orientated Stick. Only when 2 switches are pressed will the ground be felt at the PCB etc.

 

My way of thinking is that that is an AND Gate, but anyway (SLAP) . . . (Edit: OK I worked it out, it is an OR, Dez)

 

I want to design a circuit to do the same when playing Pacman and the other games.

 

Pacman only can be played on a 4 way joystick, So i need a similar circuit which is switched with the game selector.

Done, assuming you wanted it in the Arcade project section, not MAME.

 

Correct, it is Orig not MAME

 

Thank you

Artwork in CP

 

I am trying to get the Pacman Qbert theme into the control panel artwork

 

I need honest feedback on this idea. It will be expanded into the CP somehow

 

I can take the truth either way

I look forward to honest feedback

I like the idea, but I'd suggest not going too far with the 3d-ness.

 

I'd remove the purple guy from being on his side, and I'd cut down on the number of yellow dots, keeping them to two planes, eg as if they were going down a waterfall (across the top of squares, and down the side, but not sidewards on the side of a block)

 

It gets a little funky when the dots go in all directions.

 

Oh, and make the power pellet 3D

I would light up a square or 2 to show the Qbert part of it.

 

Maybe the square qbert is on ?

 

I agree it looks better, which gives me another idea, maybe a different colour under the green creature, and maybe a spinning disk at the side

CP Art Proposal

 

Well

 

I am not totally happy with this, can I get some honest feedback again please

 

I think maybe it's too red??

 

Anyone

 

http://members.iinet.net.au/~getderrick/PaQ-man-03.jpg

 

Bends around CP like this in effect

WIthout knowing the overall colourscheme its hard to say, but I do think its too red. I'd go for yellow, or at best orange, to stay more conisstent with the title.

 

Maybe surround PaQ*man title with a white halo instead of red?

 

Are you sure about the diagonal arrows (for Qbert) when pacman uses a traditional 4-way arrangement? Maybe no arrows at all? (something else around the joystick perhaps, like a pacman ghost)... or pacman and the two buttons on the right are yellow like the dots he eats.

Depends on the colour buttons you plan to install .You've put in red dots, are you going with red buttons???

 

As for the CPart, (and I am no artist) what about a variation where the q-bert art is central and leads down to the name, with all the buttons moved to the left to balance the effect.

 

Hope thats clear...

 

CHeers

 

Something like this ???

Latest offering

 

http://members.iinet.net.au/~getderrick/PaQ-man-04post.jpg

 

It is to scale (but 1/3 of the actual size), IE the holes are cut and the CP is made fully

 

So I can't alter the layout, I set it up to suit my playing preference

 

I think I will send this off to US and get it made there.

 

Final suggestions????
