SHUFFLE: A simple general-themed layout that utilizes the conveyor_helper modules “Coverflow” option that enables art components to “shuffle” … in this case, the video snaps. It’s a pretty cool animation effect and was quite surprised at how well even the Pi 3 handles it. All modules necessary are implemented in to the layout itself so ..
Shuffle & Slide is an attract-mode layout designed with low-resolution arcade monitors in mind
VERTICAL SPHERE: This theme actually started as a Data East Logo. If you look at the shape of the circle and then the marquee section below, you can see it. It features what I think is a pretty cool “sphere” effect for the preview videos. Marquees slide across the bottom left and right smoothly thanks ..
Many of you may (or may not) have read my write up for the Capcom Anthology cabinet that I have in the arcade. It's running Darksoft's multi CPS2 kit in it, and until recently, I've also been running a Pandora's Box (first it was a PB3 then more recently a PB4) with all games disabled ..
The heat, and to a lesser extent, the cold… it can be a problem in South West Idaho, which skirts the high desert area of Idaho. Situated about 30 minutes east of the Oregon border along the 84 FWY, some 60 to 80 miles north of the border with Nevada, the Treasure Valley, as the ..
Reminiscent of 2017, I find myself toward the end of the year and not a single Garagecade Photos entry added. Unlike last year, however, this year I only managed to wait until mid-October, rather than the very end of November to make my mark. Also unlike last year, there has been some changes to the ..
Garagecade – February 2010 By February 2010 I had not just one, but TWO Punch Out cabinets. One was fully restored and was kept a Punch Out. The 2nd was mostly restored and converted to a Super Punch Out. I sold Punch Out and had Super Punch Out for a while but preferred the original ..
Garagecade – January 2011 By the first of the year 2011 I'd acquired a Star Castle. Having grown up playing Star Castle (not very well I might add) it was exciting to add one to the garagecade. Garagecade – June 2011 Not a ton happened in the first 6 months of 2011 in the garagecade. ..
Garagecade – March 2012 I ended up picking up a Space Duel … which looked great next to the Black Widow cabinet Garagecade – September 2012 It was toward the end of Summer 2012 when I made a roat trip to Salt Lake City, UT to pick up a Cruis`n Exotica and Cart Fury from ..
Garagecade – May 2013 I took a bit of a break from taking photos of the gameroom for a while. As you can see though, there have been many changes from the 2012 photos to these… I picked up a showcase cabinet which became a dedicated multi gun cabinet. I also picked up Rush 2049 ..
Garagecade – April 2014 Here is a video walk-thru of the garagecade as of April 18th, 2014. Garagecade – July 2014 Things have slowed down considerably compared to the early years of collecting. A lack of space + the the fact that I am less apt to tackle full restorations + the fact that my ..
Garagecade – February 2015 Here are the first shots of the garagecade from 2015. These were taken a couple days before I picked up Gyruss from a fellow collector in the Salt Lake City area. I'm sure you'll see it in the next series of photos I take. Garagecade – September 2015 While there hasn't ..
Garagecade – February 2016 These shots are of the 2-car side of the garagecade. There have been some significant changes since the last photo set. Tron is gone. Gravitar/Black Widow is gone. Soul Calibur 2… yup, gone. Police 911 is a new addition… as is Capcom Anthology. I've been trying to clear out ..
Garagecade – November 2017 Here it is… the last day of November 2017… and I pretty much just realized that I'd not posted a single "Garagecade" update for exactly ONE YEAR as of tomorrow. I've been slippin'… That said, it doesn't help that there hasn't been a whole heck of a lot going on new in ..
JULY 6, 2019: I’ve discovered another small bug in one of my layouts. This time it’s the Diamondplate layout and the bug had to do with the gameslist (logos or text) appearing through the marquee window when there is no art present (my test-bed has “NO ART” placeholders hence the reason I didn’t detect the ..
