My Games Room

[Bensonrad]

Well, its been an utter age, that I've gone out there, let alone got through the door with all the stuff piled up and shoved in, but I thought I'd have a sort out, sell some bits and create some space, as well as have a hoover. Rather hoping to try and get it all a bit more ship shape and get the games up and running. (Jamma Cab, currently has a PC and PC monitor in it, but wants this back to Jamma with 19" monitor and I'll stick my Pandora Box in it, Super Pacman (Currently converted to 1942, but should be easy to put back to Super Pacman, I have all the bits ready), Millipede (one glourious day, I'll actually get time to get this game up and running), Space Invaders Trimline (wobbly Monitor, but I did get the PCB repaired by RGP, so should in theory work), Outrun (works, but screen is very green, PCB also has a fault, I have spare PCBs for it though), Paperboy (One day!!!) Picman (had the PCBs repaired, so in theory should work, just need to figure out what the wiring actually is, as the 2 PCBs that came with it were different wiring set ups, so I don't actually know which one to plug in as of yet!).

Room for one more? perhaps very soon.

I'd keep the bit of space rather than fill it with another cab...at least now you can actually have a bit of room to work on stuff which is the most valuable asset in this hobby!

Get your OutRun working dude, I know you've been wanting to play that for years. Monitor service and board to retroclinic and it sounds like you're good to go. Projects are such a sh*t sometimes as there's just so many jobs to do on many cabs you end up not doing anything, sometimes concentrating on 1 at a time gets things moving.

When they are all up and running you're going to have an awesome game selection there

yeah Ol is right save the space one more cab can take up that bit of room needed for working on a cab.. get one up and running that you love then it will make you want to get the rest done.. I was so depressed a couple of weeks ago i would walk in the room look at the cabs then walk back out and it would play on my mind all day .. Its like having a load of broke consoles lying around and buying more.. just use your money to get these working honestly i feel so much better right now

Nice selection of cabs!

I agree with the Oll and Ste, save some space so you can work on them if and when they go tits up.

There's nothing worse than being suffocated by cabs when you are working on one.

I'm guilty of being in the same situation as well, inside the house I have what I need and space is OK. But in the conservatory it's a different story, I've got a couple of projects on the go which means space is tight and it's got a bit depressing that it makes me less motivated to do something these days.

Now the weather has got better I need to do something to resolve the issue, it's not gonna sort itself out is it!

The Outrun does work, just need to put a working PCB set in it, I have 4 monitors hidden away in that photo, I rather hoped I could just drop one of those in the Outrun.

I am meant to be getting another cab this week, but its a tiny small cabaret, just as small as the Trimline, if not slightly smaller was going to have it a dedicated Arkanoid, the only other cab I want.
