That's my plan.  I started messing around with it last year, but lost interest when nobody seemed interested in making up the fight cards.

It's actually pretty easy using touchbuddy.
Each player can cycle through their own cards on the same screen.
(MAMEhooker can do the same thing using dedicated navigation buttons instead of a touchscreen: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113516.0 )

I plan to start a new cab after I finish upgrading my driving cab, but that is probably still a couple months away.
This is one of the main features that I want to incorporate.

What I'd really like to see in a fight card project is some standardized size and style.
I'm not sure what that should be though.
Tall and slim, so 2 can fit on a 4:3 screen?
4:3 so each can fit on it's own little screen?
Something else?

I have 15" and 12" 4:3 touchscreens I could use.
Or a 19" widescreen that I considered using an add-on touchscreen kit with and only having half the screen visible, so it would somewhat resemble the move lists on viewlix machines.
If there were some standard layout for the fight cards that everyone agreed on, that would help me decide which way to go.

Presently, I've pretty much resolved myself to just cutting up the original move lists to get it done quickly.

I just booked marked http://www.umk3.net/]http://www.umk3.net on my Droid. Thanks for that!


Someone with a little knowledge of Java and Eclipse could make a Killer List Of Fighting Moves app for the Android. Tablets are pretty cheap so you could have a dedicated one for your cabinet.

I'd like to do it myself but I already have a long list of apps I don't have time to create.


Gatt:

I was actually visualizing my design to sit above the primary monitor,  so it could also double as the second screen for games that used it like Punch Out and Dragon's Lair.  I never thought of a touchscreen though.

I was also going to extend it to reading in the instruction cards from the .zip files that Mr. Do produces,  as he has a standardized naming scheme for them making it a much more "Plug and Play" solution.  That would also permit the standardization to be extended to the move cards.
