Need help finding TMNT 2player specs

Pages: << < (3/3)

paigeoliver:

Two player Neo Geo control panel layout fits in a space way smaller than anyone would actually want to build on, so that part is not really important.

Seriously reconsider what you just said about a 17" monitor, unless you make a 1 player mini cab then a 17" monitor is going to ruin your entire project. Something shaped like TMNT with a 17" monitor in it would look like Kentucky Fried Cleveland Steamer.

For most people the display should be the most expensive part of the cabinet. A used 21" CRT monitor is only about $100.

If you really don't want it to look too much like a Mame cab then you need to rethink everything, because right now this is headed for crap-mame territory. Every machine even REMOTELY shaped like a 4 player TMNT has a 25" monitor (or larger).

Other than starting with another 2 player of similar design, any ideas on how to reduce TMNT 4 player specs so it doesnt look too much like a MAME cab? (bear in mind as well that I will be using the neogeo/SF2 button setup, so I need a little bit more realestate on the CP than a 2 player version of TMNT)

protokatie:

paigeolive; you willing to put a pencil where your mouth is? Maybe draw up something for me so I can work on a design that would look good? (BTW I do like the CP being a wee bit wider than the cab proper)

You know what basic look I want, so even a primitive sketch would be useful.

KDOG:

something like this maybe? Just expand the cp box to the left and right about an inch and that should be plenty.

protokatie:

Hmm, not a bad idea. Ill give it a thought. Thanx.
