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.... --- End quote --- Emulaxian allows you to use buttons to switch between emulators? Wow, that's a great feature. It's a shame Mamewah doesn't do that. I've spent the past several weeks putting stuff together for that. I love the idea of backlighting the buttons and putting the logo on the button...fricking sweet! |

I finally got a decent camera position in Lightwave to show what the 3 sided marquee really looks like. Whenever I explain this to people I usually get a "huh?" Hopefully this illustrates the design better. Of course, to get this cool joystick's-eye-view perspective on the cab you'd have to flatten the side of your face against the control panel and roll your eyes back in your skull to stare up at the marquee, but at least it shows the 3 sides. And the speaker grille. :P |

BTW...I'm glad you like the Idea Mitch, because I love the Idea of a "Control Strip" and was going to ask if it was cool to use something similar on my cab, but now I don't feel so bad since I have kind of inspired you on what I was going to do with mine ;D Oh, yeah wanted to tell you got my hat, it rules...THX :) |

Dont' worry about asking my permission. It's not mine to give! I thought I was the first to think of it until I saw PedroSilva was well underway with his idea here ....apparently a ways before I had even thought of mine. It's that old collective subconscious Jungian sychronicity convergent evolution thing. Glad to hear you like the hat! ;D Project update: worked on cabinet plans and m_ctl website flowchart this morning. Apart from the PDF of the basic plans which I'll be posting on my website (when it finally launches) I'm thinking of providing a free (well, cost of media+shippping) DVD-R of the plans with high resolution photos, 3D models and renderings, all the artwork files, front end files and skin (if OK with Peter ;)) and how-to video clips (especially for the convoluted marquee bending and jig making procedures) Is there enough interest in this to make it worthwhile for me to do? |

I'm not sure how they are put together so this could be a worthless suggestion. |
