| My Mame Cabinet Project (Cocktail Table Style) |

| Donkbaca:
As far as I know a 4 player cocktail has never been done, and for good reason, its hard to position 4 chairs around a small screen like that in a way that makes sense. Full disclosure though; I think most 4 player cabs are a waste, as generally most people will rarely have 3 other people that will regularly play games. |

Warlords +1, but that is sort of a special case... |

My Next Plans 1. I've decided I'm going to need to prototype it first (position bare wood controls around a monitor at the proposed cabinet spacing). That means I'll finally have to make a decision about button colors. I'm also making plans to visit my friend with a 19" 2 player cabinet (with way too few buttons.... we are talking like only 3!!! ;-) ) this weekend to think about this some more. 2. I'm also entertaining the idea of having an extra monitor output so I can hook it up to the HDTV on occasion. I'll have to verify that my HDTV can handle a variety of resolutions first (not holding my breath)... As an aside, I'm guessing that when I have a fair amount of people over and the mame is in play I'll often have at least 3 on it (I'd expect that to happen around half a dozen times a year). I could see NBA Jam as a 3 to 4 player favorite, along with TMNT, Final Fight, etc... (whatever you call that genre). |

Thinking about grabbing these buttons. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120554574811 I'm thinking something like 8xBlue, Red, Purple, 4xPlayer buttons for 28 total (would cost me $56 including shipping). I'm gonna do a bit of research before pulling the trigger. |
