Title: From scratch ....
Post by: STEVESPEEZE on December 29, 2013, 07:01:46 am
I traded the guts outta a missle command machine for a gutted DK jr machine this week.
In three days i have it playing DK jr ......

i took a black original xbox home from work and flashed it up so i could put a 320 gig hdd inside it.
then i loaded coinops 5 (80 gigs ftp'd forever) uhhhh oh then i went to walmart and had to get a light for the marquee.
Had a semi widescreen lcd tv laying around ( the older ones seem to look better)  so that went in.
The controls,, i didnt wanna mess with the control covers because they were mint, so i went to home depot and had a piece of
wood cut so i could take it home and cut holes for the new button layout. then i had to pad hack the xbox controller to the
new control console.  I was gonna add a roller ball but this machine is not the wide so it mighta been to cramped.
The only thing that urks me is there is a light scratch going across the front of the bezel.  i believe its plexi..
any tips on how to remove something like that or make it look better?
