I no longer need a keyboard or mouse. Google "joy2mouse" if you are gonna use a joystick encoder. --- End quote --- Thanks for that. Do you ever sit to this cab? Im guessing you just took the defender plans and made them wider? I like the defender cab but was worried about the control panel being to small for 6 buttons+trackball. As for the whole mouse issue....... Its not that important ;D I plan on connecting it to my home network to update etc so I would like a easy access keybord. --- End quote --- I've an original defender and its grand for 2player 6 buton, I've a trackball on it too but its not really usable as your hand hits the bezel when playing with it, have a look at the link I posted above, similar design to the defender with a nice control panel |

I have an old Midway blitz cabinet that works great with stools. Since it's a separate box you can make the cp however big or small you want. I have 2p 6 buttons with a trackball and spinner. That's the same as mortal kombat, open ice, etc. |

You could go with a design like this one we did for a customer: It's based off a Golden Tee profile he liked, but with a more familiar marquee section shape and a shallower base instead of a straight front coming 90 degrees down from the control panel underside. |

My control panel is not deep enough to mount a 3" trackball. I didn't factor it in when I made the cab. I missed by about an inch. Click my link below and you'll see the big difference between the CP area on my 1st and 2nd cab. 27" is wide enough for 2-player setup like Street Fighter, plus a 3" trackball. Click below to see the 3rd cab I'm working on. Do I ever sit to it? ...I was looking for a barstool today at Costco... Are you gonna network to with a program like UltraVNC? I use it for other computers in the house...but until now I never thought of connecting to my cabs! ...oh wait, I don't think I can with nLited XP. All the network stuff was stripped... |
