Replace X-Arcade with custom CP
BadMouth:
If it were me, I'd make the CP wider than the cabinet by a few inches and extend it out toward the player more.
That would give you a lot more real estate to work with and get the players a little farther away from that big screen.
Just my $ .02
Build what you want. :cheers:

If I make it wider, than I might go with a 4 player layout - it's the other option.
Thanks for the feedback.

The first thing that stands out is how little real estate there is the rest your hand on the cp to use the trackball. I'd prefer to rest my hand on a bit more cp... You may consider a 2.25" to save some space. The spinner placement is kinda tight but that seems to be a unbiquitous kinda deal here on byoac.
Donkbaca:
Just for reference, the 2 player panel on the build I am in the middle of is 33" wide by 14" deep. I think its a good size for two adult men to play comfortably. Though if had a dedicated 4 way and track ball I might make it a little deeper
rjpe:
Still haven't decide wich way to go... 2-players vs 4 players...
The 4-players was more of a son's request, but I feel that the two players layout will look nicer.
Here is a layout I'm working on, taking in account your suggestions.
It will be deeper in the front, with a arc, to give more arm to the trackball.
the 3 buttons in the top will be p1,coin and p2
the 3 buttons below, will serve the 4-way, trackball and spinner.
Waiting for your comments,
