With a 42" you would lose that unless it was a virtual fighter game type scenario. --- End quote --- maybe if you use enough screen real estate for artwork it might reduce the play area down to something more standard.. ??? Pinmame would be sweet though! :) |

Hard to imagine anybody actually building one until the software portion is worked out, or at least proved feasible. |

I lost the discussion before and it looks like it should be doable based on what was stated. Looks like I need to figure out what goes on in the .lay files. --- Quote ---I'm still thinking Tempest is the best cabinet choice for this, or something with a sleek sloped back shape like that. --- End quote --- I'm in agreement there. Not many other options with this type of situation. What I would love to do is make a "showcase" style cab in which the monitor could tilt to almost horizontal for PinMAME. But I'm going to have to get past the thought of using it for a PC monitor first. 1920x1080 is actually a respectable computer resolution....maybe it should rotate as well and have a swappable "keyboard / mouse" panel ;D But I'll have to get one first. The only one I have seen that looks like it will fit the bill is the $798 Polaroid (hmmm...) 42" at Walmart. Hard to spend that kind of dough without designing the cabinet for a LOT of different things. RandyT |

Nuff said. |

Also, would the display work properly if you use your cabinet for emulators other than Mame? |
