Cab Testing Phase

A thing of beauty!  Over the weekend I finished the remaining bits necessary to get the cabinet in working/testing condition.  It now sits in what will likely be its final location.  Here's the list of what is left to do:
- Replace the blue control panel overlays with finished design
- Install the t-molding using hot glue
- Fresh coat of flat black paint
- Re-wire the Power On button for better accessibility

Also on the list should be "find better chairs for playing in", because the height of the chairs to the control panels is not optimal.  We already -plan to get different chairs in here for this purpose, but I might need to raise the overall height of the cabinet to ensure it's comfortable.

I'm really getting the games list dialed in, as there are certain games it doesn't make sense to add on to the list.  Some just don't have the ability to "flip" screens when player 2 is up.  Others, like Joust, have the player 1 & 2 on the same screen.  No flipping there either.  So, the games list is important here.

For the MAME front end, I'm using Atomic FE.  It's an amazing & completely customizable interface.  Sounds, loading screens, menus, backgrounds, etc.  You don't need to install any .NET, Java, or anything else which will bog down the system.  Highly recommended.
