Rearrange buttons b/c you didn't like your first attempt Add trackball and Spinner. Add Star Wars Yoke and T2 Guns. Build and interface multiple CP's for attaching above. Upgrade to 49-Way joysticks with rotary adapters just b/c they're cool Come up with cool and unique side art and CP overlays. Configure Frontend so it doesn't look like a PC in a big box. Lighted sticks and buttons just because you can. |

wow, 385 posts and yet such a newbie question. :D You need to be more specific. Do you want to use a PC monitor or an arcade monitor? Do you want the arcade cabinet to also still work with JAMMA standard arcade circuit boards or no? etc... |

I lurked around the boards (and others like it) for 18+ months, reading and researching everything and still learned (or was reminded of) a lot of stuff when reading the book. Book link Buy it. Read it. Build a great cab. Cheers. |
