Title: Custom Arcades New Project Morph
Post by: g-rock26 on September 13, 2010, 10:24:18 am

Hi All, I always like to come here to post my newest projects.  I had been wanting to build this machine for some time and just did not have the time.  It has been a labor of love.  I hope you all like it.  You can see more of it including videos @ http://www.customarcades.com/morph.htm (http://www.customarcades.com/morph.htm)

Here it is with the monitor raised:

very cool...i like the lift up monitor.  the artwork is a little busy for my taste, but other than that, it is pretty cool

:applaud: Super slick! I was't expecting the tilt to be motorized.

Looks like this takes care of a good portion of the ergonomics issues many tend to have with prolonged play and cocktails  (for the horizontal games, at least).

Love the design of this cabinet! Very cool pseudo-cocktail idea here.  Great job! :applaud:

Though my only comments are that the artwork is a bit too busy and "clip-arty" for me...but I'm a nit-picky artist...what do I know. :dunno

The cabinet reminds me of those bubble hockey games (http://www.icechexx.com/).  Looks awesome though.

What an original and versatile design! 

Have you played Atari Football on it?  I've not seen a Mame cabinet (until yours) that looked like you could play it.  Very nicely done.   :cheers:

I love the curves on your pedestal as well.  Nice attention to detail.

What do you have the four top highlighted buttons do?  Are they just for MAME functions like select, pause, esc, etc?

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone noticed that...  She's knows me all too well.

There are actually 8 buttons on the top of the dual player side and they are Esc, Enter, P, Tab, Player 1 and 2 start and Player 1 and 2 coins.  On the single player sides, there are 3 buttons for P1/P2 start/coins and pause is on either end as well.
