That's very cool. Must have taken a good while to hack all the necessary controllers

Thanks guys :D .

Today I got a call from the local DIY guy and he told me that my door frame & door arrived 8-) (after nearly 3 weeks). So I went there, go to the the storeroom and the guy come to me and says there is a problem :| :think:. He told me that the upper part from the doorframe was delivered in the wrong colour :palm: :palm: :palm: (the rest was/is the right colour). He also told me that I have to wait another 3 weeks for the replacement :palm: :evil: :palm: :evil: :palm: :evil:.

On a happier note I made some bead progress (ca. 70000) :awe: :

Tomorrow I will get a proper storage for my games.

And yes I know that the pictures on the wall are now badly placed :awe: :awe: :awe: . I will fix it :P

The wish about a pinball table in this room is getting bigger, BIGGER ... :awe: . I would know exactly what table I want (Starship Troopers / Sega) but these things are rare, expensive & to far away from my home :? :? :?

@ j69
Don't forget to make a thread & a lot of pics :awe: .

@ korszca
:mrgreen: That game is Truxton (Tatsujin). Yeah you're right but keep in mind that the smallest screen is the easiest to tate :mrgreen: .

On a serious note, looks awesome, do you have an ETA on it being totally finished?

:oops: :oops: :oops:
The room itself is finished basically but the bead picture takes an eternity. And when I really put a pinball table in there (not sure yet) - this will also take a lot of time to
get it cleaned & restored :crazy: .
