Nintendo CP fighter style w/ trackball
« on: April 22, 2008, 05:41:41 pm »
Before I get roasted like a marshmallow over a bonfire.  Let me first say that I am not planning on purchasing a Nintendo cabinet and gutting it, but instead building a cab from scratch.  I love the look and artwork of Donkey Kong cabinets, so I am planning on building a DK cabinet and using a fighter style 2 player CP. 

I am also planning on talking the orignal DK bezel and marquee and changing it to the DK2 colors and painting the cabinet dark blue.  I like the colors of the DK2, but not the side art.

I also know the common answer will be to build it on cardboard and find out first hand, but I saw this CPO and was wondering what the most amount of controls have ever been frankensteined into a Nintendo CP comfortably.

I'm planning on building this and then possibly doing something a little larger in the future (something with trackballs and spinners and dedicated joysticks) but I just love everything about DK cabinets

(im saw this cabinet and was struck with inspiration...http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=46448.0)

It looks very nice. Its funny, but knowing the genres, the theme and layout are hard to put together in my mind.
How about mixing up the DK/fighter theme further and have a Mario and DK in fighting stances like Tekken or something?  :D

I am actually leaning towards just going with a 2 player six button set up....and then building another mame machine off of a lusid style design.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

That is one of the worst things I've seen in a very long time. I'd love to have a dedicated Donkey Kong cabinet....and now there's one less in the world.
