I really like the marquee.  Fresh, but classic.

My login issue has been resolved by switching to Firefox. I deleted all cookies and stuff in IE7 and still couldn't get in. Oh well. Anyways, I found a place that seems reasonable for printing the marquee and CP. It's called 241-COPY. That's their phone number too. Anyways, I've routed out the joystick areas under the panel and am now working on the trackball housing area. Here're some pics:

Here's a smaller version of the CP I'll have printed.

Thanks for all the replies on the work that Locash and I have been doing on the cab.

Loafer: Do you have your joysticks all hooked up to the same ports on your IPAC terminal? You have the IPAC2 like I do, right? That means we have to watch we don't hit other joysticks while playing games. Hehe! That'd screw up someone's game, wouldn't it? I hooked all the wires up to the buttons and joysticks. I have zipties, but here's how the wiring mess looks right now:

The 4-way and trigger-stick are wired to the player 1 stick... no choice with the IPAC2.

... which is no big deal HD, Unless you have your arms flying all over the place, there just is no situation where you'll hit the other joysticks.

BTW, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE FLIPPER BUTTONS???

I haven't drilled the pinball buttons yet, but yes, they will be there. Also, What should I use to run Dragon's Lair? I'd rather run the original version than the DVD.

Daphne, no doubt about it.  Works great too though it is possible your DVD version will look a bit better. However, I believe I heard (not sure on this) that the newest Daphne's allow you to use your own DVD version?  I'm using an older version of Daphne that does the job well.   Could be wrong on the DVD thing, but check it out at daphne's homepage located here. http://www.daphne-emu.com/site3/index_hi.php

Also, check your PM's.

edit:  on the pin buttons, don't forget to have 2 on each sides, one each for the flipper and an extra one for the left/right nudging.  The front nudging is not necessary but it is cool.

I got the CP and marquee printed out. With tax it came to $45.20 Cdn. Got it done at Rytec Printing (613-241-COPY) on Dalhousie in Ottawa. They're near Les Suites Hotel. The marquee uses backlight paper and the CP is glossy. They printed it on a $30,000 Canon printer. Sweet!!! Thanks, Michelle!
