Help designing a MAME Bartop (Edit: found a free stand up cab!)
tykenfitz:
Hey guys I really want to build a bartop cab but I had a couple questions. First off, do you think I think I should use a CRT monitor? I think it would work great because they're very cheap and plugs right into the pc running mame. Are there any good plans for a crt bartop? (I'm not very good and designing plans would be great, I could definately alter them slightly though. Also do you think I should go with a 2 player set up, because it might be kind of squished I was thinking either like 2 joystick and 4 buttons per stick or just one joystick and about six buttons for mortal kombat and the like buy then you ouldn't go head to headd :dizzy:
Thanks for your help guys!

I've made a CRT bartop before, basically a mini Pacman. It was very heavy, due to the weight of the CRT. I don't have any plans though, I just kinda winged it. :cheers:
