Sorry to hear that. As a parent of 2 kids (4 year old and 16 month old) I understand. Children Tylenol is our best friend!

I kinda like the idea of keeping it more "open concept". You have full control of lighting in your arcade room, something a lot of locations didn't have where these monsters were installed. Air/heat/cooling will circulate better, and it will make your arcade room look/feel bigger.
On a side note, I can imagine 20 years down the road when this monster is taken apart for renovation/move/fill in the blank, the carpet under it would still be perfectly brand new compared to the rest of the room!

Galaxian Theater / Galaxian 3 : the YouTube experience .. :)
« on: January 06, 2013, 05:20:47 PM »
Sorry if this is a repost..
has anyone seen this video on YouTube of the galaxian 3 gameplay?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT8LjyNktkY
I was wondering, they show a single mission being played here with an end screen. Is this the entire game play beginning to end? a single mission?

In North america, standard outlets are 15A. But for kitchen outlets, 20A is used (with 20A rated wire). Electric stoves, clothes driers, and central AC are all 220V ~30A circuit (using much thicker wire).
Bruno could have always installed much higher rated wire / outlets if required. But since at the end of the day this is a video game machine (a big one at that) I'm sure it was designed to plug into standard outlets and not requiring dedicated electrical modifications.

Looks awesome Bruno!
About that door, I assume its the outside facing one. I can't see any hinges on it! Does it swing to the outside!?? (Typically in homes, external doors swing inward, also more secure - people can't pop the hinges and break in)

How accurate is the XBOX version, compared to the original? I remember people were upset with the Dreamcast version when it came out.
If I'm not mistaken, Daytona USA is the best selling arcade game of all time. It shouldn't be that difficult to find locally.

Looking good!!! Questions for you:
- do you have heating in the bathroom?
- do you have a powered ceiling fan / vent in the bathroom? (man toilet always needs this, wink, wink)
- are there any rules in your region for 4+ steps require a hand rail?

why is the primer colored?
All the primers one can buy here are white. And the paint store can tint it to any color you want. Heck, there's a paint type that's becoming popular which has paint + primer in one. 2 coats and you're done.

My New Astro City has an MS9-29A (rather than MS9-29S). The difference being that instead of that white 15/25 plug, I have a relay with a bunch of extra caps/resistors. The chassis auto-senses the frequency, and switches accordingly.
So for me, it makes sense to have a UVC (for 31k games) + MAME PC for 15k goodness via JPAC/ArcadeVGA.

« on: October 15, 2012, 09:50:26 PM »What is the glass fiber for?
It's strange to see how houses are built in other countries. In my shed I have the following order, outside to inside:
- Wood cladding
- Wind stopper (not sure what it is, some kind of paper)
- Wooden beams with insulation in between
- Moisture stopper (plastic)
- Plasterboard
This is the way homes are built in North America as well.
"Wind stopper" = air barrier. Common brands are DuPont Tyvek or R-wrap. Cheaper installations use tar paper.
"Moisture stopper" = vapor barrier. This prevents cold air hitting hot air and converting to water in the wall.

The pot you're looking for is on the other side of all the pots on the chassis .. look for something called "15 khz".
