She's a big girl.  Same dimensions as the 4 player CP from Mameroom

Alright, here is my CP rev 1.  I had to take out a few characters because when I looked at the panel at 100% I could notice they were pixelated.  I like the Simpsons characters in there because that was one of my favorite arcades growing up, but I put them more in the background.  I also added a border which I think looks nice.

I still want to add some mortal kombat and marvel characters, but can't find any high res enough or vectorized.  I'll keep looking later tonight.

But I wanted to get opinions whether this is better/worse than before.

My two cents?

Border: First off, applying the artwork perfectly, and more importantly, cutting the curves and sanding down to match your design perfectly can be difficult, make SURE you cut and measure the curve before you order your artwork. What currently bothers me about your design is the borders are already uneven, which (as was in my case) if there are any discrepancies between your artwork size and board size could end up looking bad. The front border has NO room to give. Id probably increase the border to match the sides. (better to have more border in this part of the project than to have no border on the top and bottom and some border on the left and right.

On a total side note, I personally think you are going to hate how large this is in the end and wish you had made it a little smaller. I hear complaints about the mameroom 4p size all the time. I mean ... it's 4 feet wide ?? holy crap! As for the Dreamcast/Playstation emulation ... good luck with that ...  :laugh2:  (j/k ... but seriously ... you might want to built a test panel of scrap wood and see if ANY of the 4 player games with that style setup are even remotely fun... you might just find you built a 4ft panel for something you'll use 1-2 times in your life.)

Dreamcast takes a decent system, but Playstation emulates nicely on just about any PC.
