Slim Shmups candy cab (working on art)

It's kinda hard to find a big 4:3 LCD screen today. I'd say just make sure that the screen you get has as little lag as possible. If the screen is mainly used for 4:3 games, it's perfectly possible to put a instruction/move strip in the unused screen area, just make sure that the games are displayed in the correct aspect ratio. But screen modes that's force 4:3 to wide aren't all bad, I hooked my DreamCast up through VGA to my 22" wide screen LCD, and Zero Gunner 2 has NEVER looked as good. And it was stretched. :dunno

A friend and I play ALOT of street fighter 3 3rd strike infact just got done playing about 2 hours worth, so I was thinking of making 2 cabs and putting them back to back for a head to head setup(not permanently attached) and mirroring the screen for player 2(p2's cab would be red and white)

I'm not really an expert on the matter but even if the game wasn't that successful in the arcades, I'm fairly certain there will be an xbox port. The fact that it's a hori makes it a lot more probable that it will sell well (no "unused space" ::)).

Mmmmmmmmh.... well, as long as it plays well... nice idea with the move strip. It's also possible to spraypaint a 4:3 bezel on the plexi/ glass you use to cover your screen/ monitor.
