Alrighty, so this is my solution to get back the buttons i'm missing with a 6 button layout. My print sucks (sorry), but functionally it's going to be a huge add to the machine. I'm planning to get a better printer - maybe then i'll sell them or something.

Managed to get my 3d printer back up and running, and to match the mounting pattern of the Bana Passport reader. Working on a fun little project to replace it on the control panel. Will have more to show as I get farther on the project. 🥲

Wasn't aware it exists, sounds like it's time for me to look, lol

Cool! That's smart. I've been thinking about adding more fans to my setup, as well. Right now though the temperatures are very good with the swapped in/out parts so I'm going to see how it does before I make any more moves. No major updates on my end! I cleaned out the inside of the top shelf...

Thank you! Probably the last upgrade / refurb for a bit. So I’m glad it came out good. 🥲

‘‘Twas the night before Street Fighter 6.. Very cozy update for the Noir. I got the monitor in with a less than beautiful but very effective solution. 🥲 So happy to be at this point now in 1440p 165hz goodness!

Little update while I wait to get off work and put this monitor bracket together.. I snipped off the stock fan harness end and soldered in a 3 pin extension so I could use a modern fan. Swapped out the stock for a Noctua 120mm and I can now sit in complete silence. What an upgrade! Tonight I...

Whaaaat. Okay. I expected a tremendously higher cost, maybe $100 a pop. It sounds like I need to definitely seek that out! Yeah, the person I bought my cabs from was telling me that the rust by the wrist was super common as well.

Ordered a 120mm noctua to swap in the rear while i've got the machine totally apart. Going to swap that in when it arrives tomorrow. Going today after work to my dads shop to make a bracket to hold the monitor, i've got a cheap amazon wall vesa mount showing up today and i'm just going to...

Funny you say that - i've been thinking the whole time.. why the heck did they go with light blue!? I think the center grille being blue actually works, still, but a dark blue like what you used would be so much better. The grille is screaming for a faint blue backlighting too, imo. I...

In regards to the access panel? I'm not sure actually, I hadn't noticed it. Now that i'm looking in google though, good catch! Someone must have swapped my panel out at some point.

Well, I ordered the screen and it arrived today.. but I have stripped the monitor bolts holding the monitor up top. :thumbdown: I struggled with it for half an hour, ran an extractor through it, then the next size up extractor through it.. no success. I am surprised how easy it was to get to...

You know, I don’t know as much about the arcade ecosystem as I thought I did! I am just recently seeing how much can be swapped around between the Namco machines. The noir, and this blue one with the gundam art, has always been a dream of mine. So proud to be with it now!

I guess the to-do list I have set for myself right now is.. - Replace monitor with 32" 165hz LG - Replace enclosure fans with quieter fans (Noctua/Be Quiet!) - Design/print a button panel to replace the bananapass scanner and provide the buttons i'm missing (home, select/share, L1, L2) and a...

On day 2 I wired in one of the IPFB from Jasen and got everything back together and playing. :) I also just swapped in some new buttons and a fresh JLF last night.. can you tell i'm excited for Street Fighter 6?
