"Secondary Input Access"!!! Great label for the keyboard tray!  :laugh2:

I really like the functional thinking behind the cab. I've had similar thoughts with my cab. If I had the chance to go back...or have more time in the future, I would probably make switchable control panels as well. Dedicated controls seem more fun than a mame-zilla style conundrum.

You plan on playing X-com on your cab?? That's one of my all-time favorite PC games.  :applaud:

We put a number of "gags" in the graphics. Here is a detail of the bezel. It has a few good ones.

Yes, a small fortune was spent indeed.  We printed all of the graphics on adhesive vinyl at a FedEx Kinko's.  You can get this stuff at any sign shop, but you better know someone or you will spend between $500 - $1,000 on the prints alone.   All the graphics were designed with the theory that each player would be a texture rather than a color: I.e. player one is a metal, player two is blood, player three is slime and goo, and player four is fire.  Those themes are repeated all over the cab.  The idea was that "green elf" has been done way to many times, so instead of a color for each player, we went with a texture.

Also each system background in Mamewah has been custom made to complement the over all look and feel.  Let us know what you think...

theCoder:
I love your theme.  One constructive criticism.  On the Mamewah screen, in the top left, you have transparent slime overlapping transparent slime.  It does not look natural (as natural I guess nuclear slime should look??).

Great job

Mr. theCoder,

It seems that you have mistaken our "liquid sodium cooled plasma fusion reactor slime" with the more traditional "heavy water fission reactor slime".  This is a common mistake, and in no way should it tarnish your soul with shame and regret. Honestly, it happens all the time.
