Thanks I’ll post pics when I start work on it.
Sorry for the double post again. Kray since my CP has the 4 buttons on the top what do I need to do to edit the template for those 2 extra holes? I have no idea on how to edit this stuff to reflect that. Also what program should I be using to view these files I open the PSD and I can’t really view anything its just a mesh of black and red.

Considering getting the 2p custom kit…was wondering how much it would cost if i bought the paint/sanding/bonder seperately if i did it myself? Will probably drive there from New Orleans…what kind of car will I need to bring it back?
I haven’t assembled mine yet. I drive a Durango and judging from the pieces when it is fully assembled I’ll have to fold both rows of seats down to transport it.
Anyone new completed their cabinet? we need some more pics up in here, i should have mine complete by this weekend and i will contribute some pics
Not yet I should have mine done by next Friday I’m hoping.
Hey guys i am almost finished building my Kray Vewlix and I am wondering what tv to put in it? I do not want to order anything online. So my options are going to wal mart , best buy or target. I will be using a Xbox 360 in it and am also wondering if I should go with 720p or 1080p. Is finding a tv with game mode a must for this application. What are you guys running? Thanks in advance
Thanks
Alex
Go to Best Buy and and get the LG Ld350 minimal lag and it’s a really nice TV for the price. Im going to be running my 360 via VGA cable and with game mode on to make things as lag free as possible.
I also have the LG 32" LD350, its really nice and i picked it up at walmart for $328.00 bestbuy was the cheapest/most convenient I think but it was all sold out. Im running it HDMI at 720p, and its pretty nice
Figured I’d ask this now to get it out of the way. I noticed on the control panel the way he has it setup is backwards. How do I wire on my control panel? Do I put up on the wiring harness where down should go and right were left should be etc. when wiring the JLF to the PCB?
how much did it cost you guys to print out the artwork at fedex/kinkos? I tried to print it out at costco but they fudged it up and the image came out squashed by a few mm. Waste of money T_T
@ FOOTMEETSSKULL, i don’t know if i understand exactly what you are saying but are you using the JLF harness?
If you are, there is an easy route to follow, Kray did not cut out the 5 pin slot wrong on the CP, when flipped over both Player 1 and 2 sit pointing to the left just like a TE. Now the pin is made up of 5 wires, 4 directions (Up, Down, Left, Right) and a Grd.
If you mount your joystick correctly as i mentioned and apply the harness onto the joystick, when the panel is flipped over as you would be looking at the bottom of the joystick with the 5 pins pointing left wire the pins/harness accordingly:
Starting with the top pin on the harness/joystick and going down…
Top pin should be Red = Down
Then Orange = Up
Then Yellow = Left
Then Green = Right
Last is Black = Ground
Thats the way i wired mine and i had no problem at all, I hope that helps
I am sorry to hear that, go to Kinkos man, Get it printed in High Res Paper or Color Photo paper, Their vinyl paper looks great but I think they told me if i got the marque, movelist, and CP all printed on their vinyl paper it was going to be around $70. I wanted High Res but they were all out of the dimensions i needed. I paid $42 on Color Photo paper for all art work panels from Kinkos.
I just installed my PS360 last night
Orange - Up
Red - Down
Green - Right
Yellow - Left
Black - Ground
Hey guys thanks for the recomendation of the LG tv. I picked up the Lg ld350 yesterday. All I have to do is have the art printed and finish wiring the controls and ill be ready to go.
Thanks
Alex
If you can, use VGA…
Thanks I didn’t take into consideration that it faces left when flipped over. Lol derr…
What are you guys using to fasten the joystick to the control panel? wood screws, drilling holes for bolts . not really sure wich way to tackle that part? Also one other question with the artwork, do I have to give them dimensions or will it show when they open up the image? I will be using the image that was uploaded on page 22 i thnk.
I have an image related question as well. For my control panel overlay art and marquee for the time being I’m going to use the files Kray uploaded. My control panel has 4 buttons where 1p and 2p start are located. I decided to have select/turbo added to the top of the cp. My question is I need to edit the colors of the control panel overlay and so there are 4 holes instead of 2 and I’d like to change the color from the default black and red of the cp/marquee template to white/Sanwa light blue as those are the buttons I’m using. My friend was using Photoshop on the marquee/control panel template but he said he was having problems editing the colors. If anybody can help me it would be much appreciated.
I am running Xbox360 and Mame, where my comp for Mame is using the VGA input, and my xbox is using HDMI, is there any reason why you are suggesting using VGA over HDMI? even if the settings on the console are set to 720p and the LG TV is set to game mode?
thanks
no problem it was a little tricky when i first looked at it as well
and about the image question i really am not that good at photoshop but my GF is, she rendered everything for my for my artwork, i’ll ask her
Tonight or Tomorrow i will be posting pic of my set up I pretty much have everything complete thanks alot for all the help guys
