All working October 2016

Spent all day getting my tempest working thought I'd do a quick vid showing my current setup. Excuse the two hand built cabinets. This room used to house all the kids making and doing stuff but the misses let me put the arcade in there, which was nice.

April 2016

updated vid here

currently got on:

House of the Dead 4 playstation 3 hooked up to projector (playstation eye works well in this setup)

Bubble Bobble pcb running in tempest style scratch build (currently also houses Saturn for Virtua Cop action)

Donkey Kong nintendo pcb running in second scratch build

Power Drift upright

Twilight zone pinball

Robotron cocktail

Tempest full size upright

Sega Rally single sitdown

pretty pleased with the setup so far just need to work out what else I can fit in, has to double as my work room as well. Shelves full of consoles and games and pcb boxes, never enough space

Nice work mate, love the Power Drift and the TZ

 

[Hurray Banana]

Thanks power drift is my top machine

 

[cmonkey]

Looking good Eric

Gotta admit I also have a soft spot for a bit of Power Drift, it's just not the same playing it in MAME.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Cheers Ade got such a strong shaker can't emulate that

 

[IDCHAPPY]

TZ must have cost a bit?

 

[virtvic]

[muddymusic]

[Hurray Banana]

TZ must have cost a bit?

Finished fixing major issues with my Gorf cab today and finished moving cabs around in order to make space for the Sega Rally sitdown when it arrives, so shot a little update video with the current setup going.

Can't believe I can cram this much into such a small awkward shape (caused by chimney breast behind Powerdrift and hand built cabs) with a Williams cocktail sat there.

Unfortunately Robo is a little poorly at the moment, crashes generating garbage after a few minutes (died soon after shooting this video

), so that's my next task when I get some time, at least Gorf is working very well now.

You have FINE taste in cabs, Eric.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Thanks Jay, don't really know what I still want

A great looking games room Eric... and I love that Neo Banner.

Hopefully you will be able to have a meet soon then... didn't get a chance to talk to you much at the last.
