I'm typing this while staring at my VS cabinet.
I really like the thing, very comfortable for long play sessions.

All those cabinets would take a ton of space, money, and electricity.

Why so many people on this thread think it all needs to be on one panel mystifies me...

I agree, I think that building several cabinets with specialized controls than having a huge panel and trying to include every control known to man kind. Several cabinets would also be more "true" to the arcade feel.

I still haven't seen a modular system with more unusual configurations, such as dual trackballs. There was one system I saw awhile back, where each CONTROL had it's own panel... seems like an ideal candidate for a "covering nearly ALL the bases" situation, assuming enough disposable income.

I think the modular panels come close to playing just about anything you want.

How about two cabinets?

Were talking, enough trackballs to cover everything, cabal, even rampart multi player, enough spinners for full warlords, etc, tank controls, dual smash TV, SNK rotary... etc etc etc so on so forth

I've got all the controls mentioned plus several analog joys, driving controls, light guns, etc.

Hi Apollo, looking at your cab actually gave me the idea for this thread.



Quote from: Apollo on June 18, 2005, 06:09:09 pm
A 4 sided machine has been done but only once as far as I'm aware, by me. Arcade 360 has 1 large arcade monitor that rotates horizontally to 4 different control panels. It worked extremely well and I had a lot of fun with it but it is currently undergoing conversion to a MK1 replica cab. By the way it only takes up as much room as a standard cocktail cab. I didn't have evry control but could easily have had many more controls without the Franenpanel effect. Here's the thread link.

I think I read some where that the guy had problems getting into trackball games because he would hit his hand on the step.  This is by far the best fraken panel I have seen though.

I've got them, but don't have a website up on my cabinet.

Are those arrow buttons  (like on a nintendo controller) pressed up against the bezel?
I'm pretty sure those are OSCAR restrictor plates, if we're talking about the same things?

jelwell,

Is that a pinball plunger on the front of your cab?  How did you get that to work?
