Idea: Combination sit-down driving and showcase style cabinet
KissMyWookie:
I'm still in the planning stage for my MAME cabinet and came up with a new idea last night.
I love driving games, so was thinking it might be possible to build a Showcase style cabinet with a driving setup between the monitor and the stand-up control panel.
The front half would be a regular driving setup, with steering wheel mounted just below the monitor. Then there would be the seat and behind that, the stand-up control panel.
Obviously, the stand-up control panel would have to be further away from the monitor than usual, which might/might not work with my 29" NEC Multisync monitor.
It would also be a nice setup to use for light gun games (I have a couple of Guncon 2's on the way).
...
Has anyone seen anything like this before, or do you have any pros/cons about this idea?
Steve

Ah! beat me to it LOL
I hated that game it was a royal pain the back up of that truck was all over the place :dizzy:
I was thinking along these lines and another design I thought about was the star wars trilogy

A guy took a Luky and Wild and converted it to a dedicated driving and gun game. Really neat idea. Maybe something like that with a CP on the back side of the seat. The L&W had a 27" monitor.

Im gonna be looking for the right driving or gun game to convert into a combination setup.
andy from ultimarc was recently asking about a gun interface for mame, so id guess hes planning to build one. Dont quote me on that though.
