Hi guys, I'm looking for suggestions on my project. I am using a 720p 37" Vizio in a gutted PGA cab that I picked up for 50 bucks off CL.
It is in decent shape, but the marquis is kinda BLAH and I am changing the CP out for a two player w/trackball.
My MUST have games are: (I have these already)
1. Missile command
2. Golden Tee PC version
3. Links 2003
4. Silver strike
5. Centipede cause chicks dig it LOL
6. A few 2 player fighting games for my boy and his pals
The hardware is a PC, duo-core Intel with a 730GT graphics card and 4G memory. The controls are tied in through an Ipac2. I'm not a purist (obviously!) but want to play a few MAME and PC titles and have them look as good as possible with this rig.
My thoughts are to mount the TV vertically and change display output to the best 4:3 / 3:4 resolutions I can use to fill the viewable space.
Moonshot is a nice example of the concept, I am using a bit smaller screen since I own it already, and it won't need to be de-cased to fit in the big-honking cab.
I already had a mock-up CP built and it actually might work out with a few tweaks and a lot of prettifying.
I'm thinking of going with a HG Wells time machine movie theme, even though it isn't a game specific one. I'm just a big fan and I think there might be some good art available.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
