Nice! Looks like you are ready for some 4 player Street Fighter 2 action! :applaud: |

Looks good, and I'm glad you had fun with it, but yeah there was A LOT of over-designing there. Did you want the monitor angle to be that shallow?....because 25-27" arcade monitor frames typically have slanted top sections that allows for lesser cabinet depth. |

I wrote in the text that accompanies the pics that the monitor angle was chosen to maximize the use of gun games. The angle is only the same as a uaii cabinet anyway. Due to that angle on such a large screen, i brought the controls back away from it as much as I could. I described early that size was not a constraint, so I was happy to allow for that depth. --- Quote from: Unstupid on June 20, 2012, 02:18:19 pm ---Nice!

I started googling for a four player street fighter but then realized you must have been sarcastic! I might just configure this to play four player console games instead? I think like everyone else who has more than 4 buttons on the outside players has this in mind? But thanks for pointing that out. I just got told I over-designed, yet somehow I didn't consider that at all. |

The Ultimate Arcade II appears to be designed by someone with no experience with actual machines at all. It is a mess that has a laundry list of design flaws, coin doors you can't reach without getting down on the floor, an almost 90 degree monitor angle on a 4 player machine, 2 piece sides that make it heavier and less structurally sound, overly complex control panel shape that doesn't look like it belongs on the machine, you can only get a dolly under it from the rear and worst of all a whole lot of those design flaws have been copied into COUNTLESS projects other people have made, and some of them are down right dangerous. |

That's a fine looking machine! |
