Cabinet Design:
I have a previous thread where I showed my buying an MvC cab for Maming (here)... ultimately because of stupidity and size issues (doorway was about half an inch too small) , I had to take it apart, but I'm keeping the same basic base design as a starting point with new wood, while adding an edited Lusid control panel..
The control panel is for the most part finished, but I would love any comments for work on the base structure..
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Logo Design Progress:
Design is still being worked on, so its purely B/W so far... I would love some comments on color for when I start to work on it..

--------------------------------------------------
GUI(Mala) Design Progress:
As the logo, design is still being worked on. The theme used is a modified "Gameex" theme for Mala, and the BG is temporarily using that Space BG that everyone seems to love ( I couldn't help myself) Something else I would love comments on..

I would assume you would want DAPHNE (laser disk game emulator...Dragon's Lair and the like) on there as well.

Personally, I think it would be easier to remove/reattach a door's frame than to build a machine from scratch... but what do I know? :dunno
I do like the look of that cabinet, though. Good luck.

I agree - take the door frame out or go through a window?
Either way... good luck!
Organic Jerk:
Well unfortunately it's going into a basement that has tiny windows and the door frame is HEAVILY reinforced/weatherproofed... I took out everything I could and it was THEN half an inch too big.. so yeah..
Either way it's in pieces already so its moot. I'm keeping all the original pieces btw... I have no idea why but I just can't bear to throw them away.
As far as Daphne is concerned, I've never worked with the emu for it, or have any idea where to get the media... but it is one of the things I wanted to delve into after I finish the majority of the work.. I figure the only way I could make it work how I want to is dumping cd/dvd images on a drive, so I would have to buy a new HD to do that..

Control Panel info:
(Franken-panel haters, it would probably be better if you look away....)
2 players with 8 play buttons and 2 function buttons each with Happ Competition 8-way per player
3 buttons on top for Enter, Exit, and "Other" (ie:pause)
Happ USB/PS2 Trackball
EZArcadeSolutions Spinner (may be replaced later)
4 shared buttons for TB, Sp (2 set as mouse buttons)
2 pinball buttons (1 on each side)
Psx controller port on each side for 3rd and 4th player (or second control set for 1st and 2nd for 2player games)
3 port USB hub on back right for mp3 player jukebox, etc...
Yeah.. it's a beast... I'll probably make a second/better one down the line as I get more confident in what I can lose... but this seems good... no?
Thanks for the well wishes! :)
(If you're wondering why the wood is white... it's just primer...)
EDIT: revised button layout info..
