            @Mayki That's really cool. Didn't realize it was multiple screens.

                  Impressive work.

                  Cool cabinet. It reminds me of an older Alien lightgun game. :-)

                    Hey
                    Amazing cabinet, well done.

                    Got a few questions:
                    What model is the Lightgun?
                    I see its a Wii controller one, but I cant fint that specific model.

                    The vinyl decals you used, are they custom made ?

                    Did you add a plexi top plate on the controller and infront of the screen ?
                    and also in front of the LED panels ?

                    I just finished my own cabinet, but after I saw the use of those LED panels, I think I have to redo the cabinet :)
                    and i want to add the ability to change the LEDs accordingly to what game is played, like as in the Jukebox feature with song names.
                    Is that incoorporated in the software ?

                    Cheers
                    Christian

                      Hi,
                      Will this type of led display https://dynamo-led-displays.co.uk/dynamo-install-omans-largest-outdoor-led-billboard/ be applicable in an arcade Cabinet?
