What Are the Best Examples of MAME Cabs?
« on: April 11, 2003, 12:33:50 pm »
I know that the answer to this question is highly opinion-based, but here goes...

What are the best examples of MAME cabs (both upright and cocktail)? When I ask this, I also am asking who has the most informative websites (accurate & detailed construction plans, good documentation, etc...).

I know that for an upright cab, my current favorite is Doughcade, which is based upon Lusid's plans.

pure personal opinion... but best upright cab is 1UPARCADE's Pacmania !!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

there is a very nice cocktail... where it has 4 players control on 3 sides.... (player 1 and 2 side side by side... player 3 and 4 on the ends....) you can play as vertical or horizontal even street fighter style possible.... sorry... forgot about the url....
Another Brilliant mind ruined by education....  :p

You should really narrow down that query.. after all there are over 700 cabs and cocktails out there...

It's also important to note: are you looking for examples for a conversion or building from scratch?

I have some bookmarks of ones that were helpful to me (they either illustrated how I;'d  like mine to turnout, or specific techniques...) I'll try and dig it up...

Part of the process is to go through ALL the xamples, taking note of the ones that are good, and learning from those examples of what to do (or NOt to do)... and what fits your personality/project....

*shrug* you can't/shouldn't skip that part of the process =)

Although i'll see if I can find some helpful links to get you started...

:-) I should probably clarify. I'm already building my own cab (modeled after Doughcade), and have gone through the process of looking through many sites, plans, etc... I'm just asking this question for fun to see what other people think.

oh... we just had a pretty neat discussion on "the most innovative" or fan favorite or something cabinets... that was pretty enlightening.. er.. well interesting, once you got passed the obvious ones like 1up's =P

I can't find the darn thread though...
