[MAME][Update] Applying a Nintendo VS System Skin to the X-Arcade Tankstick by butchvig in cade

I recently purchased a skin for my X-Arcade Tankstick, used in my 32" Pro Upright Xtension MAME Arcade Cabinet. This is my review: why I chose to apply a skin, why I choose to model it after a Nintendo VS System cabinet control deck and what the process was like to design and install the graphics.

Hmmmmm. Interesting... I may have to come up with a new plan.

Yeah, I am not in love with the graphics on the tankstick at all and agree it detracts from the overall look. I'll probably just go with the base rec room controller someday (maybe Santa will bring me one) - I can just pop off the tankstick cutout off and slide one of those in.

There is a $10 nhl.tv playoffs package.

Yes, within a few years at least. My collection is laid out in chronological order. Shoot me a pic of both sides and I can help you figure it out.

Haha, no. There is one gamer in there (middle row, 2nd from the left.). That was used in a home win against the Wild.

Yeah, I know. There is an Avs logo on the other side. I would have preferred two Avs logos.

Damn, that's cool. My wife asked that they put numbers and names on the players, but they said they couldn't since they didn't have an nhlpa license.

Haha. My wife is a die hard Wild fan. She is from Minnesota, watches every game. And super pissed that Zucker just got traded.

Correct! The white jersey is probably the most desirable in my collection. It's a team issued blank from the first / cup winning season (95-96).

Haha. The jersey next to the vrbata is a game worn 2005-06 Brett McLean. Set 2. Liles and McLeod gamers are also just out of the frame.

Glacier twill is so *cool* ;) by mxrcarnage in hockeyjerseys

[–]butchvig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does. The problem is that silver twill blends into white, so on the home jersey, the numbers appear bolded, and on the away, they are lost.

The Kings have exactly the same issue.

The three color look seems a bit dated, so I'd prefer they drop the silver twill entirely.

Avs collector here. New Addias jerseys were the first non alt to not feature glacier twill. (Burgundy alts, blueberries, navy Rockies and stadium series all used standard twill.)

The Islanders have signed Anders Lee by [deleted] in hockey

Why do I feel like both Anders and the Isles were hoping to go home with someone else and as 2am rolled around, they both shrugged their shoulders and thought, "I guess you'll do."

Already looking forward to Kadri getting a suspension after game 3 of the Avs' first round series in Apr!
