Converting Projection TV into Arcade
(1/2) > >>

Hey All,

Does anyone remember seeing some of the old Capcom fighters or maybe the old X-Men arcade game which was in essence a big projection TV which sat on a platform?  Then sticking up in front on the platform were the arcade controls.

What is the name of such a cabinet, and where can I find some plans?  I have a 53 in projection Sony Tv that I would love to convert into an arcade cabinet.  It has a 4x3 aspect ratio, so it should handle any old school emulation well.

Thanks for your help!

Similar to that?

I think he means more like the Sega Megalo2. :)

Those are all excellent examples of a big ole' projection TV in use in an arcade.  The Tekken 4 cab is probably the closest to what I had in mind.

I think if I could build some kind of set of free standing controls like seen with the Tekken Cab, then I could integrate that with my TV. 

That awesome rocking cab with the bench is pretty awesome too :)  I have seen those before, and that might not be a bad idea either, considering the monster size of this TV.

Specs and plans for any of these might help me decide which design to tackle.
