Looks amazing, I was looking for one of my old videos for lasermame and found yours You did a great job with the optimization. As good or better than we did back in 2000. I remember the first day we did it, the next day we made a video, and it was Slashdotted within 24 hours.
I took a pacman cabinet, cut the top off.. built a PC in side, used the IPAC board for the Mouse to Spinner control, got the Aftermarket Large Single wheel rotary wheel for Tempest, made the actual layouts and got after market control panel overlays for several of the games. wanna buy it? still sitting in my garage.
But for about $75 and $100 in parts you can get the actual controls for the games. If you want to go cheap we actually did it first with tearing up a Keyboard, and/or gamepad controller and wired buttons from happs control.
The biggest we ever did laserMAME was on a 40'x60' at Darien Lake in Buffalo.. when we'd do the sound check for Asteroids even before it was dark people would come running. I think California Extreme (Classic Arcade Conference) in San Jose break it out every few years to do during their conference.
If you need anything let me know.
Rob.
