How to Make a Joust 2 CPO? Is it possible with photographs?
Well... no dice on Joust 2 CPO. From what I see, it's common knowledge that replacement CPOs are pretty much non-existent.
I have a Joust 2 with 95% good CPO (minus a cigarette burn and cracking). I thought about taking the control panel off, taking buttons and sticks out and photographing it (on a tripod). Said photos could then be matched up and played with to turn them into something we can use.
Does this sound feasible? I know most arcade CPO's reproduced are vectorized which I really know very little about (played with inkscape for a week or so).
Has anyone ever attempted this? Would it get close to perfect results?
I guess what I am saying is, unless somebody ponies up for a NOS (which may or may not even exist anymore) is there any way to do this, other than photographing? Is this a decent method? Has anyone had any experience with this?
Just looking at the panel, it looks straightforward, no real "transitional colors" or little dots and such. It's pretty much solid colors.
EDIT: Also, same thing on the bezel, though the CPO would be a priority right now IMO.
