Another quick update...
Today I've dealt with Steve from gameongrafix and they'll be sending the new marquee out this Wednesday or Thursday (their US time, so Thursday or Friday NZ time). Unfortunately that means it won't be here for the weekend, but that's okay; have a few slight repairs to do to get the cab ready for artwork, still need to spray the grill and the vent to make sure everything's ready and paint the innards that might be visible from the outside after everything is finalised.
Software wise; I've not been having much luck with HyperSpin which a lot of people swear by, and it does look like a piece of software I'd really like to use, just have to figure out if it's going to be viable. I've also been testing a few of the others to see if I like any better. I actually quite like the built in listing with Mame 0.84. Works very well, and easy to select a game, obviously not perfect otherwise I wouldn't be experimenting, but unless I can get something spot on; that may be the one for MAME, and I have no problems setting up folders / shortcuts and building my own in VB if necessary.
That's all for now; no more actual work being done on the cab right now, still waiting for the amp to arrive (has it been three weeks yet?) so I can install and test, and a friend of a friend is working on sideart I think, though if all else fails; at the moment favourite is the Missile Command sideart, looks very retro and funky, and think it would go well, but of course; there are other options. Both Gameongrafix (http://gameongrafix.com) and digdug (ebay seller) have some excellent products, and get excellent feedback. Suggestions welcome.
That is all.
