be a gorilla: February 2012
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Monday, February 27, 2012. This presented a problem for me. As an attorney, I don't believe in breaking the law. As a video game enthusiast, I don't believe in piracy. I didn't know what else to do but write a letter to Nintendo asking for a license to play Donkey Kong on my arcade machine. Under the relevant law of the particular jurisdiction involved." That's just about the friendliest language you'll ever get out of a lawyer. So what will I do?

be a gorilla: Computer hardware
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012/03/computer-hardware.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Saturday, March 31, 2012. I installed the computer into the back of the cabinet. I removed as much of the computer case as I could so that the computer doesn't overheat inside the arcade cabinet. I also bought two extra fans for the computer from ebay. They're really cheap and really easy to install. I removed all unnecessary hardware from the computer to make it boot faster and run cooler. I even found a modem card in there. I wired a power button ...

be a gorilla: January 2012
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Last night I got the marquee and the two marquee brackets in the mail from Mike’s Arcade. I thought it would be a fun and quick installation. I quickly cut two pieces of MDF for the marquee light holder and screwed them in with L brackets. Then I realized that I had no idea how to install the marquee. Monday, January 30, 2012. I decided to assemble everything with biscuits and glue. This guy. First I glued the bottom to th...

be a gorilla: Coin Box
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012/04/coin-box.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Saturday, April 7, 2012. The coin box sits inside the cabinet and collects the quarters so that when the owner unlocks the coin door, he or she can simply pull the box out and empty the quarters. I found plans online for a Nintendo Coin Box. To fit inside my cabinet. I built mine out of leftover 1/2 inch MDF. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Assembly - main bezel, marquee, control panel.

be a gorilla: Monitor mount bezel
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012/03/monitor-mount-bezel.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Thursday, March 29, 2012. When I got my monitor, I took it all apart so that I could just mount the screen in the arcade machine. I dropped the screen into the monitor mount that I built. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Black paint - first coat. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

be a gorilla: Stickers and Sideart
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012/04/stickers-and-sideart.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Sunday, April 15, 2012. I applied the instruction sticker on the control panel backer and the coin sticker on the front of the arcade. I bought them on ebay. The coin sticker is centered. I'm not sure if that's the right position but I like it that way. I also didn't bother to research the proper location for the instruction sticker and it still looks pretty good. May 24, 2012 at 1:22 PM. This all looks great! Some guy on the Internet.

be a gorilla: let's get it on
http://beagorilla.blogspot.com/2012/10/lets-get-it-on.html
My quest to build a replica donkey kong arcade machine. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Let's get it on. The machine has been up and running for some time now so it's time for my final post. Here are some reflections and advice. The cabinet was a lot of money. I wish I had kept better track of it. Those little things add up quickly. Donkey Kong is hard. Especially for kids. Make sure Pac-Man is on your machine. The cabinet it really big and really heavy. Really prepare for this. And on the obvious plus side...
