Puckman is running again. In fact, it has always been running. I just won't allow ANYONE to have a look at the back.... :)

The "hard" thing now is connecting the Jamma loom to the controls, installing the yellow button, putting back the CP and presto....and yes it will be running the 48-in-1, curse me at will.

I never said they'd be nicely restored, I just said they'd be working ;)

One bad thing, while bending back I broke a tab from one of the leaf switches on the Pac joystick....mehh...will solve that of course.

Once that's done, I will have to FINALY finish the SW. Got sound problems and sometimes the monitor is blanking out, I hope that's just a pot setting of the HV protection.....and still have to install that extra fan :S

After that, it's getting the MAME machine up and running....I want some MUSIC in my gameroom (it doubles as "jukebox")....

Power drift or outrun ?

defenetly Outrun !

you can add Super Monaco GP to the choice, not really a classic,but worth the discovery ;) (and that would not force me to start a hurry wip on the OR ^^)

O, but you have to see that in an entire different light: We call it a "stick behind the door", right Etienne ? :D :D
It means it forces you to do something you keep pushing back...

That's all what Eurocade is about man, ssshhhh, don't tell the others.... It made me get three cabs to work already (well almost 3) and two more to go :) (with a little help here and there ;))
Also it will force me to clean out all the spare parts in the gameroom and make it a GAMEROOM instead of a workplace. If that will hold long, I doubt, but it's sure worth at try  ;D ;D ;D ;D

That worked for me (but the job was easy, boring but easy): a swap of backdrops between an SI and an SIpart2 in UK.
The seller had put the wrong backdrop in the wrong cab (SI and SI2) so I had to talk with the other buyer to arrange a swap.
It's now almost done and I'm quite sure I rushed the things a bit mainly because of Eurocade.
Still a good joystick check to be done on this cab and I'm good to go!

Puckman bootleg is up and running with an el-cheapo 48in1. Still have to get the sound working (it used to work AFAIR) and also the marquee lighting.

Monitor needs cap-kit.

The CP is lovely....I'll make some pics ASAP....

Just a little note to say that I was away this weekend and it was a _great_ weekend...

Also wanted to put out a note that we are pretty near to the limit of people that Eurocade can handle.

On one hand I'm extremely happy about that, I really didn't expect it to be so successful. However, let's say that I did some promotion for Eurocade "on location" and we may have some good friends of this (and other) forums joining in....

Anyway, the bottom line is that I decided to close the entries officially on JUNE 25

Be sure that you upgraded from "MAYBE" to "ATTENDING" before that date... I will remove the MAYBE list from the 25th...

Guys & Girls,

I just discussed a bit with my wife, and she has agreed that she will be preparing a nice "buffet" as an evening dinner at Eurocade. I think this is much nicer for everybody (instead of having to order stuff), and there will be something for everyone's taste (we hope :)). I also think it's much more practical compared to BBQ because I don't think we will like the fumes of the BBQ to stay in the tents ....and on the cabs ..... ;)
We will serve some nice Indonesian style food and some typical Dutch snacks and things...something for everybody's taste...


Now....I need some help ! I am looking for someone who can provide (for free or cheaply) a gas heater for the tents. Not sure what the weather will be like and of course we need to keep stuff dry for the machines that will be "spending the night(s)"....

I was thinking about something like this:

Maybe these kind are even better (safer to run at night time ?):



I think 2 of them should do the trick... Sooo, if anyone in the area can get his hands on these....please let me know !

Just a quick note that we are considering an alternative location for Eurocade.....

It looks like Eurocade will become so popular that we may need to move it to a bigger place with a fixed roof and other nice facilities, also opening the way for some extra things that we might else not be able to do.

Nothing is sure yet though...we're investigating....it _WILL_ still be in Ridderkerk though, so no worries about that ;)



Also, and I am very happy about this, I am able to add my good friends Luigi (Thorsten) and Capt.Kirk (Dirk) from Germany to the list of "attending" !!
