Thoughts on this idea...

Alcathiax:

OK...my wife has come to the conclusion that I don't have the depth to build a 4p CP (from eveything I am seeing it adds a total of 18" or so to the depth of a machine). But I do think maybe I could get away with 2 - 2P machines next to each other.

Do you guys think I could do something like this....
Arcade A with computer A with U360s set as Joy1 and Joy2.

Arcade B with computer B with U360s set as Joy3 and Joy4.

Both machines could be played completely seperately.

But when I want to play 2P Smash TV / Karate Champ or 4P TMNT / Gauntlet I could somehow connect U360 3 and 4 to Arcade 1 and the monitor from arcade 2 to the dual display video card on arcade 1. I now have the best of all worlds with only 2x the price :(....

Problems I see:
Can Joy3 and Joy4 be used on Arcade 2 for players 1 and 2 when playing solo.
Is there a good way to switch the USB cables for the U360 back and forth (or is this a better set of joysticks for this).

Can I convince wife to put 2 machines in the game room?

ahofle:

Is depth your only worry?  18 inches seems a little excessive to me... Where did you come up with that number?  I would think only a few inches difference between 4p and 2p control panels.

Alcathiax:

Isn't UA cabinet about 38" deep and UA2 with 4P CP about 48" -50" deep (to front of 4P CP)?

Also I think that 2 -2P machines might work a little easier with the wife than 4P Albatross CP.

The bigger issue is that his wife has design input into the cab and apparent veto power over the game room.
