I'm looking without much luck to find plans for a space saving cabinet and include a 4 player control board with 8 buttons each for newer console emulation. Does anyone know of one that fits my requirements?
4 player with 8 buttons each and space saving are basically mutually exclusive. Sort of saying that you need a vehicle that can tow 12,000 pounds but also gets 40 miles to the gallon.
You would also have to be very careful designing something like that, as it is likely to be a flip over hazard if you don't do it right.
What 4 player game would you be playing that requires 8 buttons?
I am working on a Gauntlet at the moment, but I don't entertain the fantasy that it will ever see much 4 player action. I have owned a lot of machines and the 4 player ones never, ever, ever fill up. People don't like squishing in like that and to avoid the squish factor they have to be HUGE.
