Arcade82:
uhh so?
I'm asking a legitimate question
how does that reflect on my cabinet design skills?
weird
besides it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know not to put a 4" screen in a big wide ass cabinet.
You guys make it sound like this guy is a genius and this is the best it gets and it's hard to do better..
CheffoJeffo:
Not weird at all.
From someone who has been looking at this stuff for 7 years and is a self-appointed arbiter of cabinet taste, I would expect better than "the ultimarc thingie".
You think that reflects WELL on your cabinet skills ?
I bet Sasquatch knows the answer ... ;D
All in good fun and the spirit of the OP.
Cheers.

Let me see if I understand this... it's been 7 years, you haven't designed/built a cabinet and you don't see any reason to have doubt? My friend, what you have is VaporCade.
Another thing that even you should be able to determine from this post is that there are different strokes for different folks. People won't like your cabinet. Thats just the breaks. You'll build a frankenpanel and the purists won't like it, or you'll build a dedicated and the multi-game crowd won't care for it. You WILL end up on someones crapmame list.

Umm, thats my point. Your going to tell me 7 years ago when you found mame and the homebuilt cabinet scene you weren't amazed like everyone else in this hobby? So, if you would've found it 1 year earlier than that you wouldn't have been? Ridiculous.
Either way, I wish you no ill will. Good luck on your cabinet. Be safe. I'll look for it in... how long? Another 7 years? :)
Arcade82:
you guys are SUCh nerds
and yeah, that cabinet did suck, whether it be 1979 or 1999
sorry.. don't take it so personal (Except the nerd thing) :laugh2:
