You did an awesome job! I like all the extra/custom stuff you did to the cabinet as well. Adding those white LEDs to back light the marquee was ingenious.

There are a few varieties of painter's tape that also specifically do a bit more than normal to help fight paint creeping under the edges; worth adding to your DIY kit for the future. They usually brag about this on the packaging, so easy to find at Home Depot or wherever.

for sharp edges on stencils and stripes, a light coat of clear can seal the edges.

A layer of primer first helps the paint from spreading under the tape. Also try Frog brand tape. Works best for creating smooth lines. Also rolling paint gives you better control over it to prevent jagged lines.

The overlay for the CP is actually the overlay from the old Sega Aero CIty arcade cab. Nice vid! I like how the OG jamma standard is followed here using the 3 button standard instead of opting for the 6 button layout which usually requires a kick harness. Keep up the vids, I enjoy them!

I built a MAME cabinet from the ground-up cutting MDF, t-molding, etc. DON'T SPRAY PAINT!!!! You can use a sponge brush for this size but prime it first, then put a layer of black paint on, let it dry. Put another on... then sand it down with fine grit sand paper. Paint another two layers, sand. Wet sponge off the rest and it's perfect.

It looks like your jsut plugging them into power and letting them differ the voltage on there own?
@ThisDoesNotCompute6 жыл бұрын
They all run off of 5 volts, so as long as the power supply can deliver sufficient current (amps), then everything works great. If you use 12 volt power (either from a battery or AC adapter), then you need a step-down converter to turn the 12V into 5V for the RPi.
