IMHO, and I'm still somewhat a newb, but I did experiment quite a bit on CPs.... You can fit a full 4x2 row 2 player controls minus trackball on about a 24-26" panel. It will still feel a *bit* cramped for two full sized Adults. with Trackball, and giving it a bit of spacing, I'd say something like 32-34" would probably be ideal. |

The 4x2 2 player layout will fit easily on a 23" wide panel. My dedicated 25" monitor Neo Geo only has like a 23" or 24" wide panel (it is actually narrower than some of my classic era games) and I have never really felt cramped playing 2 player on it. Going too wide is way more common than going too narrow. Konami's 4 player cabinets were only 37" wide and Gauntlet (4 player) is less than 30" wide. --- Quote from: slappyhooper on January 27, 2013, 03:57:49 pm ---IMHO, and I'm still somewhat a newb, but I did experiment quite a bit on CPs....

Having seen your posts, I defer to your greater experience. When I built the Redline for my sister's kids, I experimented quite a bit, and wound up with a an external width of 25 1/2 inches, which once you counted space lost under the CP due to bracing worked out to 24". internally. The CP worked well for the kids, but if I were building for myself I'd probably go something like 28" wide. (I'm 6'6 and pushing 300 lbs) My .02..... |
