Hadouken (or possibly just another Street Fighter cab)
urge26:
So I started my project about 2 years ago and had all intentions of keeping a work-log. For one reason or another I lost my documentation and ended up making some really bad mistakes that kept me from moving forward (it's amazing what you miss no matter how much you plan the first time you do something like this). Over the past 2 months I've gotten a second wind to clean some of those things up, and move along.
Anyways, it's a stand-up cab inspired by some of the other cabs I've seen in the forum. It's called Hadouken, but I haven't finalized anything as far as artwork. It's going to have a Playstation 3 along with a PC for MAME, but I built this primarily for Street Fighter IV, and now I can tack on Mortal Kombat 9, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and the new NBA Jam. It's been done with MDF and has a 26 inch LCD along with black laminate. Here's how it looks today (still have a lot of work to do, so I thought maybe I should start my work-log now):
Here is the control panel design that I've been working on, do you guys feel that it's too busy?
Donkbaca:
an xbox, playstation AND MAME! cool.
I am putting an xbox in mine. How are you switching between the three and sharing controls?
Don't forget soul caliber, tekken 6, the new WWE allstars looks cab friendly too, dc vs Mortal Kombat is cab playable, oh, and virtua fighter 5...
I like the way it looks. Get it done!
VanillaGorilla:
I think you're on to something good!.Keep going.. :applaud:
Yes, IMHO, the control panel is too busy. But, rest assured, I've seen worse ;D
opt2not:
Wow, Epyx's cabinet design is really getting the mileage! Good choice, and good job so far. :applaud:
Donkbaca:
As far as the CP goes, I would put the player 2 controls over player two. You are going to need start and select/back buttons for player two, also probably need home/guide buttons.
How are you going to exit games in mame?
How are you going to coin up?
The CP is busy, but it kinda has to be with all the buttons you are going to need, and I like the SF art, its busy but its all one cohesive theme.
