First off: Got the book. Excellent job Saint. Next a few questions: Marquee- Lexan, Lucite, or glass? Bezel- Lexan, Lucite, or glass? Tinted? Display- 24" flat screen or 27" regular tv? Control panel- how many buttons per player? What layout? I am building a two player CP with a trackball and spinner. I plan on using a tv for the display (cost). The cabinet will be an upright. I want to be able to play almost all games that are mamed. I am using a 2.4 Ghz computer with s-video out. I would like any help or recommendations. Thanks |

I'd say go with a 24" flatscreen as long as you take into account s-vid that is. I personally think that 27" is way to big to be that close to while playing video games, but don't take my word for it, try playing games on a tv that big sitting at the most 3' from it because you can't get much further from an arcade's screen than that. |

Thanks for the info. I am still looking for a little more input. If anyone else has any recommendations that would be great. |

I remember OldSkool and RandyT having comments on it. --- Quote ---Display- 24" flat screen or 27" regular tv? --- End quote --- Might get more response in the monitor video forum. --- Quote ---Control panel- how many buttons per player? What layout? --- End quote --- I recommend 7 buttons (but maybe six inputs) in an ergonomic modified SF/neo-geo layout as attached. either the top or bottom row can be 1-3. The thumb button should be either one of the lower row or upper row buttons, depending on which row you want to use for 4-button games. Personally, I would go with 4 5 6 1 2 3 6 |
