I'm restoring a KI2 machine... the control panel graphics are were messed up when the game was converted to something else.

I bought a reproduction COP from gameongrafix and was really disappointed with the fitment so I'm just going to look for NOS or a used original panel in good condition.

If you have one or know of someone who has one let me know.

Thanks in advance.
 
how bad was the fit?? Do you have any pics?? i am looking for one of these also and was considering buying one from gog when i got that far in the restore, but i will look elsewhere if it is that bad.

I opened a support ticket with them Thursday night, I got no response yet.. The graphic I got was supposed to be exact fit for a dedicated cab, I even chatted with someone via their website to confirm this....

Here are some pictures to show how out of line the CPO I received is in comparison to the original art-work... this is essentially what I sent them in the ticket:

^here you can see there is close to an extra inch of material along the top, also notice the scaling, the Nintendo logo on the GoG overlay looks slightly smaller than the original

gog_cpo_02.jpg

^left to right isn't as bad but you can see there is at least 1/8" of extra material along the left edge

^extra material on the bottom, it also seems from this comparison that the CPO I received has slightly smaller print than the original too

^Since the overlay was clearly too largeI was hoping that I could use the Lexan CPO (that I bought elsewhere) as a guide since the Lexan CPO fits FLAWLESSLY with my cabinet... unfortunately as you can see here when I line up the button holes the joy stick hole is out of line, meaning I can't use the lexan as a guide for trimming your CPO

^interestingly the buttons on the left side still line up but the left joystick hole does not.

This is extremely frustrating because unlike the buttons, which have a lip that could hide some slight misalignment, the joystick holes are essentially naked so you'd clearly see the misalignment all the time.

Because of this I figured I'd see if I could get JUST the joystick holes lined up and let the buttons be slightly out of alignment but I found it impossible to get both joysticks to line up, they're too close together, and they're crooked causing the holes for the start buttons to end up WAY out of whack.

I'm currently looking to see if I can get a CPO made by someone else, failing that my original plan was to scan the OEM CPO that I have, clean up the damaged sections and photoshop and have it printed at a local shop.
 
cpo

I bought a MK2 cpo from gog and had the same complaint about it being too big, but at least the holes lines up with the new lexan I got from Chris. I had to trim it. For $40, it really should be exact for a dedicated machine.
 
yeah, that sucks man. I can live with the letter sizing being a hair off, but the other stuff is pretty noticeable. i am redoing one for a friend, while i wouldn't want to use it for my own cab, he most likely won't care. If you decide to sell this let me know and i'll ask him what he thinks. I may be able to take it off your hands if you decide to get rid of it (and if he wants it). Could at least help you recoup some of your money.

you're the 2nd person in 2 days to tell me they had similar issues with GoG... it's enough for me to consider this more than a one time mishap, I wont be giving them anymore business.

I'll give them until Monday night to respond to my ticket, if I don't hear anything I'll shoot you a PM

I have an NOS one, PM me with offer shipped.
YGPM :)
 
Still Looking for NOS or good used original control panel graphics

@kidrivers
I got a response back from GoG, they claim they're going to acquire a lexan CPO to compare to their overlay and make adjustment... I'm not sure how long this will take, or if they're going to replace the one they sent me.

I don't know how soon you need one but if you want to wait to see what happens with that I can sell you whatever new one they send me, or I could just sell you the one I've got now soot me a PM if you're still interested. I've decided that I'm just going to go original.

BUMP Still looking...

IF anyone has a NOS CPO that they'd be willing to scan for me that would be awesome too :D
 
once twisted gets one I would like to put myself in line for one as well, was about to pull the trigger on a GoG one as need one for a friends cabinet, but glad just read this before ordered it

I have scans from a NOS CPO (colors were beautifully unfaded but it did have some creases), before they can be used they need to be merged and cleaned up and I need to take some measurements to ensure proper button placement.

I had sent them to Rich last year and he cleaned up the scans and just needed a little more adjusting on the dimensions (it was already way better than the GoG CPO I had previously) unfortunately he lost all the work he had done and at this point I don't think he has time to go further.

I basically decided to give this thread one last bump to see if I can't find a good original CPO and if nothing comes out of it within a few weeks I'm going to see if I can get my scans cleaned up again and printed properly.
 
I bought a KI1 CPO from marcus099999 on ebay and everything lined up perfectly. Couldnt hurt to message him and see if he has KI2 art?

I sent him a message, He does not have one.

AFAIK the only repo KI2 CPOs that exist are the ones that GoG makes.
