Galaga Bartop 19" LCD Rotating Display *UPDATED 11/26/12*

I use TinyXP and the newest version of MAME that allows the skip claimers to be set. I use PIII 600mhz with 256-512mb of ram and they run most everything at full speed.
Whats the side profile of this machine going to be? To be Galaga themed, I think it's important to incorporate both the top curve and the point at the CP.

I really hope you stick with the rotating monitor.

You can rotate the monitor in a pretty small space and at pretty low cost. To keep the cabinet small, I woul be tempted to simply cut slots in the side that allow the monitor to pass through as it rotates around. You could even make spring loaded doors that pop open or control them using a servo
Also, the Velcro panel mounting I did might also be adapatble to a smaller cabinet to allow you to swap out controls easily..
Cheers!

What exactly is the "skip claimers" setting?
I totally agree. My sketch was crude, but I'm going for the same curve/proportions of a real Galaga cabinet.
I love the look of the real ones, so that's why I want to mirror it in a smaller tabletop cab.
