Yeap no problem I know what a smile it brings to your face seeing the screen come up not rolling and works like a dream. I smiled all day when I got mine going!

: Many Thanks to Nick Bourdo. I had continuous synch problems. The hacked vga cable was my problem. I went to Radio Shack, bought a 1.95 connector (DB 15 Male) soldered my leads onto it, and I works great. Anyone else having connection problems should definitely give this a try. I can not thank Nick enough for his encouragement.
: The good news is that my Mortal Kombat machine is going to become a permanent Mame Machine. The bad news is that my converted MR. DO! mame machine now needs a new home. I live in the Chesapeake, Virginia area (pick up is much preferred to shipping). It has a custom panel bolted onto the front of it with 2 joysticks, 6 buttons per player, and is attatched to an I-PAC. There are hidden/recessed escape and mouse buttons. The trackball is a Happs trackball attatched to the standard Happs serial interface. It is all being run by a pentium 120. The coin mechs are in place but do not work. I have hacked stereo computer speakers providing the sound. The display is currently a 15 inch Sony monitor, however, I had a WG U3100 in there for a while and the overlay is still set up for that. The insides are gutted and there are three shelves. I can provide more pictures.
: Basically, a very solid machine that was my first project but now I am moving onto the Mortal Komat machine.
: I can let you have as much or as little of this as you would like, and am not looking to make any money off of it but to provide it to someone who wants the parts at a reasonable price. You know how much each of these parts costs, so figure it out and give me a reasonable offer. Again, I do not need to tear this apart but do not want to if someone is looking for a ready to go machine.
: If no one wants it or I get to many "How bout I give u $20 fer your trackball" responses, I will just use the parts to build a Cocktail Cabinet.
: I am going to be out of town for a while starting on Tuesday, so let me know if you are interested before I leave.
