Hey everyone Been away from my project for awhile and i now have time to finish it I got a steal on a cab few years ago, a shinobi cab already gutted and a xarcade 2 player usb installed in it already. I want to changd it to a sweet 4 player cab and am wondering what myoptions are and how these big controllers actually connect to the pc in the cab. Im guessing thats my main issue with my project , ive already sanded down the cab and am ready to vinyl wrap it but tbe controller is a big thing If you were in my shoes with your knowlege what would you do |

Rebuild a custom controller. X-Arcade doesnt' have the room for 2 more players and the mini-I-Pac it uses probably can't handle the additional inputs. |

My advice is don't do it. A Shinobi cabinet isn't big enough for a 4 player control panel and the monitor isn't angled back properly for the players all to see it, and if you graft a panel that big onto it you are likely to make it a flip over hazard. Even if you avoid making it a flip hazard it will look ridiculous and player 3 and 4 will probably have a very hard time seeing the screen. Your shinobi probably looks something like this. While almost every non-showcase 4 player machine looks something like this. They don't all follow that basic design scheme by accident, it is the only one that really works aside from a giant showcase cabinet. When you try to turn a 2 player machine into a 4 player machine the result generally comes out looking something like this (and this one avoided the flip hazard, most make the giant panel 2 feet deep to boot). |
