Well I had started another topic on my new project and my on going project at that time, my Super Neo 29. I still hadn't finished it and it needed a lot of attention to become the ultimate Multi platform cab! I also have the New Astro which is a vertical, so I needed a solid Horizontal to do all the things I needed without going through alot of trouble switching between systems and games. Also in another topic I made a tut on how to install 360 pads in a cab, this also forced me to rewire the controls alltogether, which led me to rewiring the entire cab woth a new Jamma harness and all. Yesterday I started early and deep in the night I had created my monster and it's Alive...Aliiiive
Here are some pics of the control panel completely rewired for easy use of all my systems on a set of connectors and the 360 on seperate connectors...
Maybe you didn't notice but as there are so many devices hooked up, I found it pretty difficult to open and close the CP all the time to adjust the monitor for each and every game, so I turned it upside down and drilled some nice holes through the bottom of the CP and pushed them through. I also gave 'em a nice white finish so it would blend in. It's not very noticeable, especially from up close. I know this was a tricky decision, but I'm really happy with the end result
Now the fun part is that I've tried to cram in as much shit as I can without taking anything out, to hook up or unhook things. Almost everything is done with switches and some presses on buttons
What I've got inside is a Gamecube, Dreamcast, Xbox 360, PC for running MAME and a Neo Geo 1 slot with stereo. It also has a in your face soundsystem with a brutal woofer and very crispy speakers! I've got all the sound going to an audioswitcher for 4 devices and the controls of the GC, DC, and MAME are all connected to a KVM switch that leads to a J-PAC that is programmed to handle them all. Of course the video signal is also switched through the KVM switch. These are all really cheap parts that are easily found everywhere. There's no need for high quality switches when your working with these distances and very raw signals. No loss in quality whatsoever ( and I 've tried topnotch stuff also )
See how it all fits nicely in the rather small Neo Candy...
So all I have to do is press 2 buttons on the switches and switch connectors on the CP, of course powering on the desired device, but it is all done in a sec.
The following are pics of all the devices hooked up and show some games. First I start of with the 360, which I really am pleased with, it's like it made for this shit. The console is Japanese version with a wireless adapter for me to go on live. THe only thing missing is a connection for the headset, but will do that later this week, small detail hehe...
Oh yeah this is how my CP looks btw, the blue button is the fourth button for Neo, but also the Guide button for 360
The dreamcast running Guilty Gear X...
The Gamecube running Beach Spikers
Some MAME goodness with Pro Gear and R-Type LEO for example hehe...
And finally some Neo Geo games, brilliant...
Well guys there are a lot of things that I can add to this story, but hey it's late and I'm worn out, so if there are questions on the whole project or tips feel free to comment. For me it's no rest and on to the next project, hope that will be done within a month or so. Have fun
Ben namelijk zelf niet zo handig met wires daarom. Mijn complimenten dude!
voor de toffe reacties, heb er idd een boel tijd inzitten maar heeft cker zijn vruchten afgeworpen.
