| R-Type cabinet plans |
| (1/1) |

Hello, Can anyone give some help with construction details for an R-Type mame cabinet? I only saw the page from arcade museum and they do have some designs in the manual, but I still need some advice from people who built R-Type cabinets or who played the game on their similar machines. Perhaps someone has the cabinet plans? What buttons and joysticks to use? Would a SANWA JLF-TP-8YT be the best choice? Another concern is about how much glare/reflections would the front glass do in a lit environment. Thanks! |

Hm... looks to me that you could use the Donkey Kong plans (dimensions/measurements) and do some minor changes... |

I could try with the image you posted, which if I'm not mistaken it's from the R-Type manual. Unfortunately it doesn't show the inclination of the screen. About the joystick, I learned that the SANWA JLF-TP-8YT is best for fighting games and I might be better with Seimitsu SL-40 for shmups. SL-32 I heard it has a pop issue which might be annoying to me. Anyone knows which joystick would be closer in feel to the original? Or just better? Same question about buttons - I plan for Happ Standard Arcade (concave with cherry microswitch). Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! |

Well, the brackets (10 & 11 at the picture) should get you pretty close to the actual inclination even though the perspective makes it a little harder to figure out. It is probably close to (or the same as) the other Nintendo machines I suppose, but there should be persons around here that could verify that. |
