Does the DD cabinet have a metal or wooden control panel? If it's wooden, just building a replacement control panel for yourself would be a snap. If it's metal, that would require a little engineering.

Either way, building one specifically for the cabinet will almost definitely turn out better than mounting something to it that someone else built. Plus this way you can avoiding modifying the cabinet, itself. Don't need another Centipede incident. I saw you mention that this machine is in its original cabinet in good condition. I wouldn't advise against any changes that are not reversible.

(This is just my 1/50 of a buck.)

Sorry man $230 is waaayyyy tooo much for a control pannel in my vision

A picture of the cabinet would help, since there are plenty of conversion Double Dragons out there, and it matters what kind of cab you have.

Well with artwork and plexi it won't be under $200 anyway+$30 shipping.
Get an x-arcade or something pretty sure it will fit.

If it's wooden you're cool. Just replace the CP with another of the same size. You could probabnly even use the same mounts and everything...

I'm sure SNAAAKE wouldn't mind making it 23 1/4 inches to fit... considering there's an original cab's livelihood at stake! (hint hint, SNAAAKE)

heres the original cab i have

AlanS17 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 27, 2004, 06:09:12 pm »

I would recommend coming up with a joy/button layout first before you start making the panel. Maybe even consider a DD theme! Because the button layout will depend on the art placement on the CP. Does that make sense?

talking to me? i have no idea how to make this and i suck at cuttuing wood , i mean to me it would be cheap lol, but all i want is a control panel with six buttons so i can play Jamma+ like tekken and stuff.

it looks like the control panel you have has a 3 button layout per player. why not just get a 1"1/8 hole saw and drill three more hole per side?

Yeah man, add six buttons to it and you are good to go, you don't NEED a new panel, just more buttons.

Or if you want all new controls, I'll bet you could send your old panel (complete), and the new controls to someone on the board and they would install your new controls for you (keeping your old sticks/buttons for their time).

talem · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2004, 06:54:29 pm »

would that work? i mean would that seriously work? and use the three buttons and six buttons whenever? i mean use the snaop pieces under the buttons so i dont have to solder

id be willing to do that man hehehe

Well, you would have to WIRE them, but yes, you could simply add buttons to you current panel. You may or may not have to do at least some soldering or wire splicing, it depends on how it is currently set up.

If your cabinet is already a Jamma cabinet then a simple Capcom kick harness and the extra buttons should be all you need. Might have to run the cab ground over to the new buttons as well, as I can't recall if the kick harness has a ground on it or not.

Or, if it is already a Mame, then wire your new buttons the same way you wired your old ones.

could i just buy new harness for Jamma pluss? and snap them to the buttons?

Yes its a jamma cab

paigeoliver · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2004, 07:31:02 pm »

JAMMA Plus is not a standard, Jamma Plus just means that the game has an extra harness or connector in addition to the JAMMA harness. All the Capcom games use the same extra harness. While all the Mortal Kombats also use the same one, all the others pretty much are unique to each game.

So, basically you CAN'T buy a JAMMA+ harness. You simply add the new buttons and wire the Capcom harness to the extra buttons, and the 6 button capcom boards will have an extra plug in where the kick harness plugs in, if memory serves correct it is usually on the top board.

yeah thats what i ment, id have to buy the pcb board and jamma drive for the game to work , right?
