For lack of correct terminology, the squiggly line is the "glue strip" that holds the bezel to the cabinet. It couldn't be removed during scanning; ignore it.

Mikonos used to have FTP access, we had an agreement, he backed out of it; that's why the FTP password had to be changed earlier this year. He's also selfish, a thief, an asshole, a diva, and a two-face. So don't worry about doing double work, because his version will never see the light of day, other than his webpage.



RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
