Electronics...

So, the easy bit (for me) ... All the hard work to date has led me to this bit, which is the moment of truth really... Will it work, will it function as planned, have I configured everything correctly... Well, test fit number 1:

Believe it or not, this "mess" of cabling tested as working 5/5; time to tidy and add lighting...

 Now a final rig up before it goes into the arcade itself, just to double check that nothing came loose while I was tidying up the cable run...

Okay, working as planned! All systems go, now to play a game... Just to make sure of course!

Yep, Metal Slug works a treat, as does Batman, Discs of Tron, and Pacman, that's all I've played on it thus far, just enough to test the configuration... Brilliant! So, possibly onto installing into the actual cabinet soon, have to wait on postage for a few things, and will need to screw everything down into final locations once sideart is on; don't really want to put this in just yet, as the arcade machine is living in the shed until such time as it's completed.
