4 player upright plans help
yotsuya:
If I were going to ever build a 4-player cab, I would model it after the TMNT/NBA Jam style cab, with the correct amount of buttons. You might be able to squeeze more buttons on to that layout if you made the CP a bit bigger.
RichmondNut:
cool would anyone be able to refer me to some plans?
PL1:
Jakobud has TMNT plans.

I second the motion of TMNT. It is a simple cabinet to build and not overbuilt like so many of the custom 4 player designs seem to be. It has enough room to expand the number of buttons, however you won't need more than 6 for player 1 and 2 and more than 4 for player 3 and 4.
The Genesis was the last console that had games that generally played well with arcade controls. The Snes and everything newer has shoulder buttons that often have a directional effect in the game and that translates terribly to arcade controls, which is why the arcade version of the SNES (The Super System) had gamepads on the control panel.
