I've built a lot nicer with a lot less
If I had the right tools and the space I'd just cut them from sheets of MDF myself. Unfortunately I have neither. :-)
Needs must and all that.0 -

Same here, but then I also have a severe impairment when measuring/cutting wood. If I measured a ruler twice I'd get two different readings

Enjoy some crispy aliens!
Click for full size.
Did you disable the linear filter? What HLSL code did you use?0 -

Just hacked your settings in to the Mame.ini Steve, world of difference. Compare the overblown shots above using the default HLSL settings, and these ones. I think that the old settings were trying to replicate a worn arcade screen with too much brightness and not enough contrast, along with some colour bleeding. These are super looking now. Trying to capture video however made it almost die though!
Tried to get the same/similar shots for direct comparison purposes.
*Those are without editing the .fx files at all btw0 -

The colours are far better in the above pics alright. Is the juddering because the HLSL lark is too much for the gfx to handle?
How good at the game are you btw? Presume that video above was just arsing about. 0 -

Finally found some time today to make some progress on this
Holes cut for intake & exhaust fans
Damo's GFX card installed & working away. Due to its bigger dimensions, I had to bring the motherboard back towards the rear of the unit, but it's fixed into its new position now. Thanks again Damo!
As for HLSL, the new card makes mince meat of it, games are running full speed & now comes the task of fine tuning the HLSL settings. There's a myriad of them, so will have to do some reading up on that...0 -

Ah sure it's on the inside, couldn't give a damn about what you can't seeIs that door on some kind of piano hinge?
Nope, but the sheer brilliance of TLB's worksmanship mans the door is such a perfect fit it stays put regardless...no real need for a hinge anyway, it'll be getting closed up for good soon enough hopefully0 -

No problem, and glad it's doing the job!
You'll have to show us some pics/vids of it up and running when your HLSL settings are all tweaked.
Despite all advice to the contrary, I tried setting up HyperSpin last weekend. Didn't seem to be as bad as I'd heard. Took a little bit of tweaking to get it running as I liked and with my wired xbox 360 controller (Thanks to xpadder) but seems to run alright! I probably benifited from using HyperLaunch 3, as opposed to hopping in earlier in it's life. Next step will be getting the CP that I got way back set up with sticks, buttons and iPAC to get it working with it, whenever I get round to that!0 -

What are you talking about willis? I obviously own every single console game out there for every system I've put on my bartop.
I erh... ripped them all myself and gave them all whacky names which is why it's taking so long.
Downloading a set of ROMs indeed...
