I’ve recently discovered a number of excellent PC games that play beautifully on a MAME arcade cabinet. I loaded them onto my Aladdin’s Castle and they are absolutely brilliant. Mutant Storm by PomPom One of my favorite old-skool games is Robotron by Williams. I love the two-joystick action or running and firing in two [...] I received an email about my Aladdin’s Castle MAME cabinet recently. My reply was so thoughful and amazingly detailed that I figured I should use it as cheap content for Ooine. So here we go: The email: I was just reading your blog on your cabinet andreally liked how it turned out. I’ve just [...] Got my marquee from mamemarquees.com (thanks Scott) and it was quite beautiful. Extremely deep, vibrant colors on what appeared to be something like photographic paper. So I visited my cabinet and installed that baby between the plexiglass. Immediately I noticed that the colors get a bit washed out. But not too badly. And I [...]  Tags: action, aladdin, arcade, cabinet, castle, construction, elevator, mame Category: MAME Arcade Cabinet10/1/2005 This was a big day because everything came together to form a complete, working cabinet. While not 100% finished, we are getting very close. I’m almost feeling a sense of disappointment with the completion. The journey is really what it’s all about. I fired everything up and it was very cool to see [...] 9/27/2005 Parts installation, t-molding, cabinet door installation, coin door, painting touch-ups. I had asked in another thread whether or not I should apply some sort of clear coat to the interior latex enamel paint that I used to paint the cabinet. A few people said yes and a few people said no. Well, it [...] I’ve been finding Arabian Knights-type art very difficult to find on the net. I have no idea what I’m going to do for side art, but I figured I should at least be able to pull a marquee together. This is my first try: The actual file is 26 inches wide, 11 inches [...] Tags: aladdin, arcade, build, cabinet, castle, construction, graphics, mame, marquee Category: MAME Arcade Cabinet9/25/2005 Painting final colors. I am envisioning a cabinet with a black, purple, reddish theme to go with my memories of Aladdin’s Castle. I’m pretty sure that the logo was in red and that the place was very dark with red and/or purple neon. I was debating really whether or not to paint the [...] 9/14/2005 Preparing the front door and cutting for the coin door. Cutting the coin door hole. The completed cut. Coin door test fitting. At first it didn’t fit. I had to keep going back with the sander in order to finally get it to squeeze into the hole. And all [...] 9/3/2005 – Part 2 Cutting the speaker holes. I decided to use the Creative Inspire T3000 2.1 speakers ($32) instead of those recommended in the book. The grill lifts right off of the speakers. I’m going to see if I can use these as my finished cabinet speaker grills. I made [...] 9/3/2005 – Part 1 This was a big construction day. I installed the cabinet sides and bottom back, routed for t-molding, and cut my speaker holes. Routing the t-molding groove. Great fun. I had never used a router before, but I found it to be no problem. The groove was cut smooth as [...] |
