Hi dudes,
Thought i'd start this thread with a new venture ive started, ive always wanted to have a fruit machine cabinet that can emulate all the games in one place and since this new update of mfme 5.1. i think i can get there now.
So i started with adopting a new mission for my old indy 
i first looked into a button interface as i had seen another user on here do a MFME button type box (REG) i think. so that was what started me off. so i took a dive a bought this thing 
once connected via usb (no software needed this thing just works!!) you can connect the buttons up to work. i thought i'd do a test run before i sacrificed indy 
.
once i could see that this worked, i went to work dismantleing indy.
. i didnt get any wiring with the I-PAC controller so i used the fruit machine wiring in situ. i seperated each button wire and the ground wire..... 
then ive hooked it up 
.
okay im not very good at this technical stuff but if someone else tries this i could help better...
heres a couple of videos aswell of it working....
I plan to paint all the plastic on indy white 
and im hoping the finished arcticle will be able to be a mame cabinet to, a curved sumsung 32inch LED monitor will fit perfectly with some perspex covering up the outer edges (if i get a touch screen it will solve problems with games that have buttons up high)... and im hoping to get a PAC controller to make button lights work soon.
Anyway this is a work in progress. Enjoy.
i cant seem to upload my videos i might have to upload to youtube unless someone can tell me how to do it?
oh, my indy was buggered, so as i gave up trying to fix it. processor board and battery were knackered. so thats why i went ahead...
