    well i have it now after taking a drive to beach in the winter. I felt better going and picking it up myself. Im at a standstill until my veneer gets here so maybe Ill get mellow and go sand...it has to be everybodys favorite part of a project.

    I didn't drop the ball , just ran into alot of problems with the pc I aquired. Its in the trash now. Also, been at a standstill because I was waiting on a coating for the shell I built before I assemble it. Now things will be coming together and I'll start posting pics. Im excited. Got my first joystick and button working! Now, just 3 more joysticks and 11 more buttons.

    I keep hearing about those controllers. They seem pretty cool, and popular. I'm sure they make things easier, but I'd have to buy 2 to do what I'm gonna do and I have a little bit more design freedom.

    Maybe you should take a closer look. You must have been looking at the first one.

    Same Here...Looks like it is coming along nicely. Are you cutting the top to fit the monitor perfectly? OR, are you going to use a bezel?

    Oh well 91 is 86 after the veneer. The hole fits the monitor exactly, but since I stripped the monitor out of the case to get it flush, I'm going to have to cover the border of the monitor where theres metal tape and no screen just glass.

    I would love to build a console... But first i need to find a complete rom set.

    I located a 54gb file that claims "This is a full set of 0.112 roms and the CHDs are included. "

    The Plane Old other mame rom sets 115.u1 are about 16GB
    My question, is what is a CHD? I believe it is a drive image, but i dont know.

    Thanks

    well I scraped the ball bearing idea (literally) on the controller drawers. They are just too intriquite and time consuming to cut down. My drawer is only 6 in. deep, so I returned the 3 that didn't get trashed and bought european roller sliders rated for 75 lbs. They will be much easier to manipulate. Also since im using GameEx as a front end loader, it has alot to offer like a movie library, music library, news, live radio, and more (see you tube videos if you haven't heard of it), I decided to buy a wireless PC card and installed it. It gets a good signal going through the closed workshop wall, then about 20 feet across the back yard, then through the side of the house, then about 40 feet down a hallway to where the router is. Pretty cool.
