Looks great, shift F3 mode is perfect for these sort of devices and others that can be used in portrait mode. Definitely a hidden gem, for those who don't read release notes.

Getting near the end now and good progress has been made dispite my bad back. Had already decided that the PC red box was going to be used for a majority of the funtionality as it had so much that was already needed was in that box. This mean that I needed to put the base PC elsewhere, behind the monitor was as a good place as any. The original unit used the kettle lead connector - I needed more power. The below adaptor world fine which allowed me to put a 4-way adapter against the back of the upper part of the machine. The next job was the buttons - they were dumb at present although I knew what I wanted to do with them. The only one that would work the machine would be the button seven for start, there is also a secret combination to add credits ( beyond pushing the credit button on the DX ). This is my IPAC wired up - I literally used the cables from the loom that had been buzzed out already once I found the already tinned connectors released very easy from the plastic connector. WinIPAC is used to configure the switches, for more compicated funtions it also supports macros. In this case, I want it to exit the GUI back to the desktop when I press and hold button one and button seven, it supports this fine. The below picture is the red shell put back into the base. The blue cable wrap houses the audio lead and the usb lead for the the IPAC to the PC above. The red connector is the resused presentation for the keyboard switches. The white connectors ( although only eight wires are used, are the LED power. That look could be seriously cut and thinned, but it's harming nobody and can stay. Up top is nothing to see but a small PC, I am waiting to put the hoppers in and the coin mech and have them live. The machine when closed and powered on looks like the below, it automatically boots into the frontend, again I am using mGalaxy as it's on the previous cabinet I built. The below is some mobile phone footage - a little hard to capture and not the best quality as I sat it on a box. The angles also look odd whne playing from behind a chair. One key thing here, note how I exit the games and press the top left hand corner of the screen - that is part of MFME.
