Thought I'd officailly announce my first build.
I'm only at design stage, but I thought if I at least announce it, I might actually get round to building it!
Design considerations so far (comments welcome):
I'm building this cab to play some of may favourite arcade games, primarily:
- Commando
- Galaxian
- Operation Wolf / Thunderbolt
- Chase HQ
- Ikari Warriors
- Karate Champ
- Star Wars
- Rampart
From this, I've decided:
- light gun(s) a definate (aim trak seems to be the way forward..)
- "Ikari" stick (at least one)
- trackball
- spinner? Not sure- not a huge Tempest/Arkanoid fan.. comments/suggestions?
- dual sticks
- steering wheel
- buttons in a Neo Geo / SF config (7 buttons per player)
- main sticks 360 ultimates?
My control panel can't be more than 26" wide, so I'm considering swappable panels:
- one main 2 player Sf config with trackball / spinner. Ikari stick in place of spinner?
- one with dual sticks
- one with steering wheel
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated, as designing the panel seems to be the bit that needs most thought!
cheers
