So I've always been lurking on here. Never posted. I finished this a couple years back, figured maybe I should share it. Maybe give some others ideas.
So I got an empty space duel cabinet many years ago. Slowly but surely this is what it turned into.
I wanted the control panel overlay to look as lose to the original as possible but..being a mame cabinet, I needed alot more buttons and joysticks. Filled in some holes with liquid metal and drilled new ones. Got a vector image of the CPO from someone on another forum, I forget where and who, but I worked off that to come up with mine.
Later I added a gamepad for those 3 player beat em ups. Just open the coin door and pull it out.
