Cabless:
Hello There.

Your cab really caught my attention and I just joined so I could say "WOW!".

I hope you build it. And then I hope you share plans so us cabless types can gain some inspiration and benefit from your expertise.

You seem to have found the 'look' I've always tried to describe and doodle for myself!

Like you said... You want to feel like you're that 12 year old playing again. EXACTLY.

Kudos. Best of luck getting it built.

One comment on the control panel.. I don't think you need two 'insert coin' buttons.. maybe one could be 'menu' to take you back to Emulaxian (my favorite front end as well).

Thanks for sharing your idea so far!

Luxury:
where are the speakers going to go?

Pixelhugger:
The speakers go in the top behind the marquee lighting. Though it's pretty hard to see in the images I posted, the black section indicated by the arrow below is speaker fabric.

Cabless- Thanks! And welcome to arguably one of the best communities on the net - IMHO. ;D

Regarding the Emulaxian menu button... I'll actually have an entire control strip mounted above the CP for Emulaxian navigation. I'm still trying to decide what dedicated buttons/Emulaxian functions to use on it tho. Any input would be appreciated. I want the cab and FE navigation to be as self explanatory as possible for newbies, so I don't have to explain the same things over and over.

Aceldamor:
What about labeling the buttons using either Happs ID tags or Labeling the button it's self and use Happs Protective Covers.

That way you can label each button like Genesis, SNES, NES, Arcade, Neo-Geo, Pinball, ect.

Or you could label each button with a function.... (Search, A-L, M-Z, Page Up, Page, Down)

You also wouldn't have to make a skin with a Tag pointing at each button, but a skin with generic instructions on using the buttons...

Just kind of an idea....

That's a great idea... I hadn't thought of using them to access other emulator lists/sets. I was thinking of using the square illuminated Happs buttons on the control strip and printing artwork to put inside them. (I've become an backlightaholic).

Dedicated buttons for the different emulators would let me use the original logos... hmmmm. That'd look really cool.

DOH! Now I've got to make more room on the control strip.
