Cocktail cabinet project!!


Recommended Posts

Hi AA folks.

 

 

Hope I'm posting this in the right section??

 

I have recently acquired a 3 sided cocktail cabinet which I believe is an Arcadeworx product which currently has a PC inside running a hyperspin build.

 

At the moment it's running with 2 controllers when I got it of the previous owner but it does need some additional components, configuration and TLC.

 

 

My aim is to have it working with all 4 controllers and will swap between vertical & horizontal games (hopefully and I know it's gonna take some time to get this right)

 

My current plan is the following:

 

PC:

 

Rebuild the system & settings -

Install Win7 64bit, Shell this and use Coin-ops Forgotten Worlds build + addons as my all in one solution. I've been using this for a while and it's so simple & well put together.

I believe it's using RetroFE as the frontend.

 

Cabinet:

Remove PC from case and mount PC hardware inside.

Add a power switch to turn on PC (as coinops can shut down the pc when finished)

Source & add a sound system with amp

Source & add the additional joysticks/buttons

Source & add I-PAC4 (currently has I-PAC2 installed)

Rewire/tidy wiring

Source a nice decal for the top of cabinet.

Source T-molding - potentially looking at a chrome style but this may change.

and anything else I may have missed.

 

Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated or ideal place to go shopping for parts :)

 

It's been a while since I last played around with cabinets and this is not going to be a rushed build, I'm going to take my time and get this right.

 

Pictures of cabinet below. Since these were taken I have removed the t-molding & removed the buttons to the left/right of the cabinet as they were horrible.

Small update.

 

I've taken the cabinet apart a little and mounted the PC onto the back panel. Installed new buttons for the sides and add p3 & p4 buttons.

 

I have removed the current wiring and will redo this with shorter length wiring and some need replacing as they were fragile and broke when I took them off :( rotated some of the buttons so I have better access to the micro switch connections.
