I'm hoping I have enough junk here to start this and time too. Short Version-
I like arcade gamess (duh) I don't like playing on NES or cheapie 1-up cabs. I like ato stand against a coin op with the controlls laid out in the original configuration with the arcade controls used. There are a lot more parts than games and if I brought home 1 more, I'll be staying elsewhere, so.....
1-3 cabs with usb or quick connect cps. I'm not an idiot, I don't need a Missle command layout and a crystal palace one.(but now I remembered I need some volcano buttons....)
A Defender layout with correct spacing and a 2 way stick, road blaster wheel, star wars yoke, recoil mounted guns, Front line spinner. Not a 100% correct every time but just my preferences and common sense. Spyhunter wheel is probably out, (only 1 game too much $$ pita hookup) A Dual tank stick for vindicators would be nice, but it would weigh 100 lbs and be bunkly as hell for an ok game (other duals are missing from memory) But If I do it, I'll use converted happs with plastic shells.
I've seen frakenpannel and the Gargantuan layouts but has anyone kind of done something akin to this? (I'm sure 200+ links are to follow...
)
