Mushiking Cab Conversion Project

TBH I was tempted to get one and do precisely the same as yourself a while ago, not so much for me but the kids.

Me too.

which jvs looms do you need - I'm having a clearout and may have what you need.

All sorted now thanks to andy, although I am on the lookout for the coin mech loom (to go from coin mech to plug coming out of 60 pin header)...

Nice job, But is your button spacing meant to be different with the first two buttons to the other 4 ? I.E the last 4 action buttons are closer together

I think thats an optical illusion created by the mish-mash of buttons I've got on there right now. The panel wasn't created by me, so theres not a lot I can do about it anyway, but it looks like the standard curved Japanese 1p layout on the panel.

Nice little cab anyway you look at it, Are you going to bother with a CP overlay at all ?

[Spectre]

Yeah, not sure what yet though... was thinking about a sheet of white sticky backed plastic for now, until I get something designed.

When I was thinking of doing them, I was going to get NET CITY MINI artwork done, same sort of colours etc as Net City.. would have looked nice..

I liked the cartoon clip overlay someone seemed to have on one of the units purchased from you Andy. Not sure whether that was something you supplied as custom or whether they attached after they bought it?

It was the mutts and really suited the cab. Typical that it's something that old and probably totally defunct, so yay for Sean!

[Spectre]

Ok, overlay test design 1, it's early days but theres lots I like about this so far.

[gargoyle67]

Yeah that looks like it would suit your cab a treat

Or you could just plug your consoles into your big telly and use an arcade stick, thus saving yourself the effort of converting a hideous bookies cab into a hideous custom job...

You could say that about any cab! Why buy a cave pcb when you can get a Japanese xbox?

If i got it on Xbox I'd play it on my telly. If I had the PCB I'd play it in a proper dedicated Jamma cab. I wouldn't however play the Xbox on a converted bookies cab.

Personal preference I guess. Hope the conversion goes well - I've yet to see one I liked though.
