Well I assume Capcom won't mind considering really its a piece of major "Fan Art" and I do owe them big style....so if they come a knocking I'll be happy to remove it.... I''ll upload something to my account now.
Edit - Well photobucket edit my photos when I upload them so I've made a rapidshare file for those who are interested.

http://rapidshare.com/files/381142307/S ... l.jpg.html

Notice there's even something there for all those Blulix owners too...its actually been rather a lot of hard work (although loved).
I figure I'll also update ppl on the rest of the work I've been doing with my distinct lack of spare time too....

... I did exactly what I said I was gonna do many moons ago and slapped a Acer revo (dual core 330 ;) ) in the vewlix.

Also the uber observant of you will notice in the top left hand corner of the photo I've replaced the stock mammoth fan with a far quietier thermaltake one which moves quiet lot of air, and changes the Vewlix from sounding like a bad 18 year old's boy racer bad exhaust job to a modern diesel, still quite far from a smooth BMW though due to the LCD fans which I don't plan on touching. Its basically about as loud as a 360 now and with the ps3 and Revo in there never even warms up.

I've also (which possibly makes me quite sad) custom wired the whole thing including USB cables into the Control panel for wireless keyboards and Singstar recievers (I like my karaoke OK!) As well as those for the JVS-PAC in there and as u can see its pretty easy to just switch between the PS3 and Revo with just one USB switch and 3mm audio cable.

So thats me now I just need to get the time to play on the thing :)

Snatched before copcom comes knocking.

Thanks for the upload. It was necessary really to get a proper look at it anyway.. Can't get the same thrills out of thumbnails. :shh:

You did a really good job.

Nice work on the vewlix too. That prize went to a deserving person imo. I personally think the vewlix is very mod friendly and it's just asking to be a PC/console setup so I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, that fan at the back... I just disconnected it altogether when I had mine (intending to swap it with a decent fan later). Stupidly loud and moved **** air too. :roll:

Thanks for the kind words that it went to a deserving winner *cries a little tear* :cry:

I can see (on the high res version) there's a few rough bits round the edges (of moves) that peeps might wanna tidy up before maybe getting one printed in say black, but they are tiny and can't really be seen in my red version.

Overall I'm very happy with it and it looks even better when its lit up!

Now to start work on the Super Street Fighter IV Add on for under the Vewlix screen... :D

I didn't check out your movestrips, but you do realise Capcom Japan has the Japanese movestrips for SFIV in full vector PDF files? You can easily just import these into Adobe Illustrator, modify and print them as beautiful sharp vector files at the native printer resolution.

Indeed I do realise this but they're not in English and for the vewlix only have the arcade version's character's attached, plus their copy protected so you can't edit individual elements and have to treat them as a single unit....ala my English Console version!

I used some single console move guide sheet Capcom put out which would no way have been easily converted to the Vewlix and did alot of editing.

Something must have been wrong with your fan then. Even in summer my Vewlix feels like a fridge inside.

He voluntarily closed his account two months ago. :(

I think his last post was here (before the edit it was a picture of his vewlix running a PS3 I think): http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic. ... 23#p309192"

:lol:

I did something similar when I had one. Emulation is the best way to run Wii/GC games (on which there's a few good arcade games) on an LCD. Fair remark though - Kinda like playing a Hi Def remaster of Katie Perry on a £20k hifi. It's a shame he took opinions like that so seriously.
