At this point; we'll call the building complete. I've built a front panel for the coin slot, which has a power button and a front USB port built into it. I used a USB port that's supposed to be for a media cabinet, so very in keeping with the retro design of the Arcade, and definitely sturdy as it's all metal construction! The power button isn't linked up yet, but that's because the computer in there is a donor computer, and I don't intend to be destructive about it, so I'm waiting on setting myself up with a "new" (old) computer that I can cannibalise any way I see fit, which means for now at least: building has finished and we're moving over to software! Still having problems with HyperSpin, but have built myself a reasonable front end with MaLa whilst I figure it out, and of course; I do have the older Mame UI's in place if all else fails.
Anyway... For readers, here's a quick pic of the coin door now it's all completed...
