Title: Cabinet Design for light gun games
Post by: hurricanefan on January 15, 2019, 07:43:52 pm

I want to build a cabinet so I can play some of my favorite light gun games from back in the day. My question though is how should the cabinet be designed to handle the aimtrak light bar and what angle of the screen do I need to do to make the games work the best?

Thanks!

Lightbar needs to be as close to the top of the screen as possible.

Angle of the screen should be vertical idealy.

Thanks Titchgamer!

Any concerns for how wide a horizontal screen would be in the cabinet?  The aimtrak bar should work for most lcd sizes right?

The size of the screen is relative to how far you stand away from it.

I.e. bigger screen further away.
