Does a Time Pilot count?
I can't go get any more cabs, I gave up my cab-haulin' vehicle ;)

When I first saw this thread's subject I was expecting to see a list like this:
1) Mahjong games
2) Beatmania
3) Spy Hunter 2
4) Journey
etc
:laugh2:

Meh, I got up the motiving to take an hour and take the control panel top off of my cab. :|
I kinda like my layout, so I'm going to play around with this config while I plan top "2.0". :) BTW, my cab pictured earlier is one of the original run TMNT cabs, but the artwork was utterly destroyed by the time I got to it. I like the "leaned back" monitor angle myself. Probably because many of the SF2 cabs I played as a teenager were conversions from those older 4-player cabs.
Ah well, to each their own I suppose. Funny that hacking control pads is on the list, because I appear to be stuck between getting an X-Arcade interface, or hacking up PS2 pads and using adapters. I'm using a 4-player ultimarc interface right now, and as much as I like the shift-input system it uses, there's just not enough inputs.

Number 4 Cabinets with internal frames ??
I must argue this one, as without an internal frame there is no way my monitor could safely be mounted inside the cabinet.

My guess is that you're referring to a frame for your monitor area, and that Paige is referring to the full-cabinet types of frames. Two different things. If I'm wrong, you guys will say so, and I'd also like to see the ginormous monitor.

yeah basically its only a support for the monitor as I rackoned on the 3/4 inch wood not holding the 32inch hantarex I accidentally obtained in an ebay auction. damn thing is bigger than my tv as its square and not widescreen.
I totally agree that a full internal frame/wood structure is utterly a waste and stupid as it would be a real pain in the ass to build surely :dunno
X-arcade interface is ok if you are going to use it with a console of some sort, although you might notice a difference in response times as most people think it is slow. Can't say I can tell though tbh. But if I expand on mine I will have to replace it anyway.
On the angled sticks remark though its been a while since I managed to get in front of a working multiplayer arcade machine (such is the arcade black hole area that I live in) so I can't remember, how were the gauntlet sticks setup? I always thought they were angled, but now you mention it I must be confused since it was such a long time ago I played it??
ahofle:
They were not angled.
