Just need to figure out some art for it now

I think you put your MAME cab where Street Fighter 3 machines go.
@Mountain: cleanest wiring job ever.
@artifact: second cleanest wiring job ever.

Actually its not MAMEd yet, I bought the arcade cart for Super Street Fighter 2 X and hooked it up to the CP I built
Arcadian:
All I have to say is WOW :notworthy:. Every one of these control panels is amazing. I'm especially appreciateive of the wiring pictures because right now I only have a little test unit made in 5 minutes to test 1 joystick and 9 buttons and can see how easy the wiring can get out of control. I'm building my first control panel (second if you count the 5 minute test unit) right now and can't wait to have it complete.
A little side note question: what kind of wire do you use? I heard 18 guage and bought a bunch but it seems too thick.
Here's a picture of my very first (5 minute tester) control panel ;D. It's not great but it's a step forward for me. I can't wait to show you my finished, arcade worthy panel.

Hi Arcadian..
I used a keywiz eco2 encoder, which accepts a IDE cable (like used on a hard drive).
I just split the wires apart from the cable and ran them to all the switches.
That wire is very small, not sure of the gauge but I would say about 22 or 24.
18 gauge should do fine, but you can go smaller if you want.
Smaller wire takes up less room, makes a smaller bundle, and looks better, IMHO.
Good luck on the CP, looks like you are off to good start.
Tiger-Heli:
I think most IDE cable is 28-32, and 22-24 is about right for CP wiring.
