Control Panel

The control panel has taken a hell of a lot of my thoughts when it has come to the design and replication. As with all of this build I have wanted to get as close as I can to the original design of an MVS cabinet (within reason), the control panel has been no exception.

For those unaware the original control panels are metal, and follow a very nice set of 90 degree bends, where it returns on itself and culminates in a hinge that mounts it to a panel at the top of the coin door panel.

I have to accept my limitations on this build, I am not familiar with working with metal, so decided a wooden panel would have to suffice. I spent a long time looking at how to build this control panel through the medium of wood, whilst creating something accurate and true to the original.

My design ended up consisting of four panels, which are doweled and glued together for strength (no screws - sticking to my desire not to have to fill any holes). A fifth panel sits ontop of the coin door panel where the panel is hinged, to enable access to the MVS board, etc..,.

Again on paper this all seemed feasible, and within my abilities to undertake. I repeat, on paper. This was probably the one job I had built up in my head as being the most critical in relation to precision of cuts and routing on my part. For several reasons:

I had purchased a new reproduction of an original one slot control panel overlay. As the original panel is all flush across the top, I didn’t want to have my overlay (2mm thick) standing proud of the rest of my panel. I had to ensure all of my cuts were square and accurate to allow the overlap to sit nicely with my control panel.

I have opted to use Sanwa JLF joysticks in my panel, my control panel is 18mm thick, so to enable the correct mounting height I needed to route out both a hole for the base of the Sanwa’s to drop into the panel and a10mm drop to mount the sticks at precisely 24mm to bottom balltop. To do this I made up my own template which I cut out of some scrap material.

Sanwa OB30 screw in buttons, again I had to route out half the material of the panel to enable them to fit, as they are quite shallow in depth.

I’ve never jointed boards with dowel and glue before, so this was a critical element as accuracy of the joints needed to be fairly spot on so all of the rounded edges flowed together, I setup a jig for this purpose, thankfully all worked out.

With the control panel being the main point of contact/interaction from the player I wanted to ensure it felt as high a quality and feel as I could achieve, and inline with the original design. I studied lots of pictures and to get as close as I could to make this look genuine, and going back and forth I decided to get the right flow of angles I went with a 10 degree uplift on the panel, and 1/2’ roundover for the returning edges of the panel.

The control panel is not entirely finished, aside from the paint/finish, I have yet to attach my upstand where the control panel meets the screen glass, also I am awaiting some black coach bolts to hold down the overlay to my panel.

Can't wait to see this arcade working.

Thanks for your kind words again. I'm not on Twitter, but would be interested to know people's thoughts if you get any feedback.

This should all be completed before December, if not a little sooner, ready for some festive gaming ??.

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum and Samurai Shodown VI ported to Dreamcast as Atomiswave arcade ports keep coming

November 9, 2020 by George

We are continuing our updates on SNK Atomiswave ports coming to the SEGA Dreamcast. The user Megavolt85 is the SEGA fan behind these ports where he started with Metal Slug 6, then released King of Fighters XI. Now we got not one, but two new games: NeoGeo Battle Coliseum and Samurai Shodown VI!

Download the GDI: NeoGeo Battle Coliseum & Samurai Shodown VI

These ports just keep coming faster and faster. Don’t be shocked that next time you blink, we will have the whole Atomiswave library released. Not that its a bad thing, of course.

Arcade games 'Atomiswave' are being ported to Dreamcast

Eidy Tasaka

Freelance writer and designer, passionate about old games and magazines, encouraged by a father who always nurtured the same addictions. A fan of Japanese RPGs and platform games, he divides his time between Jogo Véio and the few hours of sleep he has.

If you own a Dreamcast in 2020, your Christmas is already guaranteed. Games like Metal Slug 6 and The King of Fighters XI have unofficially playable versions for the console.

Discontinued in 2001, Dreamcast still has a scene of developers working on new titles, as well as numerous hardware improvements for the console.

One of these new features was DreamShell (operating system that allows the reading of ISOs, among other diverse features), whose team is responsible for the ports of the games mentioned above.

According to developer megavolt85, the Atomiswave arcade card has hardware very similar to Dreamcast, which made the task easier. As of the time of this post, 4 of the more than 30 games on the board have been announced and tested:

Metal Slug 6 (2006)
The King of Fighters XI (2005)
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (2005)
Samurai Spirits: Tenkaichi Kenkakuden (2005)

Check out some test videos below:

I thought I'd poke my head back in here. I'm going off on kind of an SNK kick thanks to those Atomiswave->DC conversions. I own a couple atomiswave games, but the hardware unreliability has had me shying away from actually getting one. I've had a few freezes in kof 11 + NGBC, but usually it's when I run the attract mode (which I like doing).

I'm also finally getting around to trying my dreamcast version of xeno crisis--still haven't gotten my MVS version preorder, but it's nice on DC. I also recently got the game on evercade, and they did more than expected to help that version out. Sure evercade's really only got the genesis version still, but at least they re-labeled the button mapping graphics to match the evercade hardware and it defaults to a better control scheme for its layout (identical to DC version)

I also finally picked myself up a bootleg of matrimelee because the prices on legit ones have been climbing ($1k+) and more worrying, they haven't been coming up for sale often. ...as soon as I do that, wouldn't you know, naturally one comes up on ebay starting at $400--doh. It'll be neat to see where that ends up. The boot is good enough for me ATM. I prefer it to the multi-carts because they do weird things to my high score saves when I use them.

Anyway just checking in. I'm still around, but doing more real-life than social media. Also still haven't gotten any new arcade cabs--I need to redo some storage cabinets in a corner to make space, so I'm on a list to do that--there's a covid-related backlog...

No worries Reaper. Glad to see you on with us and posting away on what's on your mind. This Atomiswave game that are being ported over to the Dreamcast look really interesting. I wouldn't mind having those in the collection to have and play. Caught my interest that I really would like to have them now.

King of Fighters XI Arcade Ported to SEGA Dreamcast, More Atomiswave Arcade Ports Coming

November 7, 2020 by George

Literally a week ago I posted that Metal Slug 6 got a Atomiswave Dreamcast port by SEGA super fan MegaVolt85, where he said that the ports are very simple and all you had to do was do a few changes to get them working. He is proving that is correct, by now releasing King of Fighters XI on the SEGA Dreamcast. You can download the GDI image via Dreamcast-Talk. The image comes in at 150mb.

I’ll pretend that MegaVolt85 anciently ran into this post and I’ll now take this post to ask him for a The Rumble Fish 2 and Dolphin Blue Dreamcast ports. Thanks ?
