| Thinking of building a multi-williams bartop |

I played a real defender the other day... wow! What a difference the real controls make. I'm debating on whether or not I want to build a multi-williams cabinet and perhaps use Mame. But my first questions really involve the controls. Playing Defender/Stargate with a Street Fighter layout isn't anywhere near the same experience. Does anyone have thoughts on how the ultimarc360's would work with controls? Specifically Robotron. I'm thinking of building a bartop. I remember seeing an example in Project Announcements, but I don't see it anymore. Anyone remember the name of the cabinet? Thats it for now. I don't know that I have time to build another cabinet... I'm just looking at all my options. |

Gonna be tricky to get an accurate Defender layout and two sticks for Robotron onto a bartop cp. Probably ought to design the cp first, and then design the rest of the cab around that. |

Thats a pretty good point. I looked at the artwork at localarcade and it was something like 26 or 28 inches wide. It might be a big fat bartop.... I really only have room for the machines I've built and for me to put another machine in, I need to take one out. And I don't have one I want to part with... I suppose thats a common problem. |

If I ever have the time and space to build a full size machine it will probably be a Multi-Williams. I really dig the artwork (both designs) and all the Williams games rock. However, I'm not sure you'd be happy with a bartop. Defender, Stargate and Robotron are all very physical games. To really recreate the arcade experience you have to be pushing against something sturdy when you move the joysticks. I haven't tried the 360s but if their feel is anything like the standard Sanwas then I'd say they're probably too soft for the Williams games. Have you considered using Suzo Inductives? |

That is mine : http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55284.0 Its a very cool machine and attracts a lot of attention with the colourful artwork. Was a real simple build. If I can help, just ask. :cheers: |
