Well look at that. The big mean bullies were right about everything. You can apologize and thank us any time. ;)

Your design is much better now. Not everyone can swallow their pride and make major changes to their original idea. Kudos to you.

Well the question is what do I do for 3p?  3p and 4p are hanging off the sides.

To keep the 3rd and 4th players in a slimmer design you are going to have to make some compromises.  Years ago I tried the same thing and mocked up an option with buttons below the joystick.  My priority at the time was being able to play Smash TV and the 3rd and 4th players were just gravy. 

Ultimately I abandoned the 4-player style and just got a dedicated Total Carnage/Smash TV cabinet.

Well I have finally gone full circle.  After testing out the spacing on the 1p and 2p with a buddy last night, there wasn't enough room to be comfortable for both of us.  (We are fairly tall / not skinny.

So I present my 2-player draft..

Does anyone have any comments on the current measurements?  I feel like it's a lot of space on the bottom, and the sides are fairly arbitrary because I will just fit it in the 2'8" width of the cabinet anyways, so I might as well use the space.

Comments:

No admin buttons (yes you win)
Got rid of 3p and 4p
Spaced out 1p and 2p

   (Go back to the curved design).... But Im thinking that's considerably more practical, extra space is good, and you could still squeeze in that T/ball.

If I do that though, I would need curved wood to make it flush right?

My CP is 79cm wide, and i have a bit more room between but that should be ok. About those admin buttons, Id put P2 admin buttons to same level as P1 (like im doing) but thats just my opinion. Like to have things in same places. Im also mounting the cupholders to the corners inside the panel. 
Im also going for flipper buttons to the sides.

No, You would need 2 curved pieces to make the C/p, and then recess it into the square base.....But if you look at that square design, some poor kid going to be lured over there to your shiny new game and bang her/his head on that sharp corner.

It will recess into the arcade with the new size. The Panel won’t be outside the 2’ 8” area between the the cabinet’s sides.

Solves your LED issue too. Anywho, if you're still using a 32" screen, you might as well throw a trackball in there...

Won’t that just crowd the area?  What games all use a trackball besides Golden Tee?

Approximately 550 other games. (292 games if you filter the list to show parent ROMs only)

http://www.progettoemma.net/index.php?lista=&control=trackball&romset=&devfilter=yes&biosfilter=no&mechfilter=no&risorsa=all&working=tutti&lett=

This list doesn't include analog joystick/flight yoke games like Star Wars that can also work with the trackball.

So you seem to be in favor of me adding a trackball...

A trackball won't be in the way of your standard controls. P2 joystick might be annoying while playing trackball games... But hey, you'd be playing trackball and spinner games.  :dunno

Any recommendations on how much space I should leave between the sides and joysticks/buttons and joystick for 2p and trackball?

Now make that trackball a black one, and have someone 3D print you an upper half of the trackball housing in clear... So you can light up the trackball with the same ring effect as your buttons... >:D

Upper half of the trackball housing?  Has anyone does that you can link me to?

Also, I’m having trouble locating a wiring guide for a switch to a stripped out power supply I can also wire my power supply to?

Nobody has done it yet, as far as I know. I wanted to do it with 2 1/4" trackballs for the Two-Headed Beast, but 3D printing wasn't nearly as huge of a hit as it is now. Lots of members here have their own printers now. Just a matter of somebody willing enough to model it up and print it out...

There’s a Utrak model in the Sketchup warehouse that I am using, looks pretty accurate from what I can tell.....

Does anyone know if you actually need the 12v power input for the Ultimarc I/O for RGB LED’s?

On the diagram it says it needs it for a string, but have a 5v input as well with a computer fan connector:



So I could run an IEC to a power supply that I bought here, or do I not need that?:



Am I missing something?

Actually it looks like I need the 12v for this:


Edit:
Never mind, I can just use an easy 12v plug since it
Has a plug at the end of the LED strip.

Put the side panels on the freakin computer and clean the dust off of it. I bet the CPU heatsink is totally impacted with dust.

The side panels were off to get into the fan power.  The fan power is only accessible outside the main unit.  And yes, I need to clean it. 

Jesus, rough crowd.

Are people still using these RGB trackballs?  Or is there a better option available?



They also have USB/PS2, but those are even more expensive.

They also have USB/PS2, but those are even more expensive.
Happ makes great trackballs, but you'll probably want to avoid their overpriced USB/PS2 interface.

Some users say it works OK, but a number of users have reported problems with backspin.

Recommended higher quality plug-and-play trackball/encoder combination:

  - Happ trackball (arcade-style w. Molex and Red Boards) with whichever ball and/or lighting option you like

  - GGG  Opti-Wiz™ "No-Solder" USB optical encoder

  - GGG  Trackball Cable for Opti-Wiz™ "No-Solder"

EDIT: Forgot that you have an Ultimate I/O board.   :embarassed:
Skip the Opti-Wiz and use the GGG trackball cable to connect to the trackball pins on the Ultmate I/O board.

Does it not have an easy plug and play option with the Ultimar I/O’ designsted controller area for that?

Forgot which encoder you are using.   :embarassed:

The GGG Red-board to Dupont pins cable will work with the Ultimate I/O board if you extract the ground pin from the housing since the 5v and ground pins are not next to each other on that board.

Sorry I’m still a little confused by that statement.

Are you saying the Happ Trackball will pin into the Ultimarc Ultimate, but I will need to remove the ground pin from the quick connect since it won’t fit?
