Very cool! You're going fast with this one it seems :)

Question, is it easier to apply DC fix than other sidearts you have done ?
I found that it was rather easy to do with the dc fix, no bubbles and its a nice thickness i think
the installation for example my Crazy kong CP was much more dificult
how is your experience with this ?

Extremely simple Etienne, impossible to make air bubbles, and in case of bad application you can remove and re-stick without problems ... great product!!!

Well.... that remove and restick is possible but it depends on the surface you are applying it to
mine took some wood with it when i removed it, so i needed to bondo again..
for the rest, Great work screen, it looks fantastic!

Thanks guys!!!

Yep, it's possible to remove and re-stick in seconds/minutes, not after days, that's for sure

Wow. Love what you're doing here. I didn't even know this cab existed, and a four player as well. Great multi player game. :)

Thanks guys!!!

It's a simple black cardboard, you can find it in all the stationery (in various size).
No sorry I don't use a template (never found a cardboard bezel template around) - I started everything with the help of this pic:

I admire your craftsmanship. In regard of the photos and the time you needed to build the cab, it all looks so easy (but I'm sure it wasn't).
One (perhaps silly) question: How do you play the game with multiple players when the screen and the picture is orientated towards on side of the cab (and the people sitting on the other side see the picture upside down)? Will the game use a mirrored splitscreen? When I first saw the photos I thought the CRT needed a 90° rotation.
-
I think its the same as the full upright, 2 players per event, and when the other two players have theyre turn, the screen flips
-
:P
wow.
PS : Screen, is it easy for you, in italia, to find brand new CRT TV's ?
Cause in France they have TOTALLY disappeared.
We can find a lot of good condition TV's, though, at waste collection centres.

Excellent job,Fantastic
