No, i't a verticade  :cheers:
Back then when I wanna build a bartop, the Weecades came up all over the place and this version of http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepverticade.htm (http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepverticade.htm) was the way to go for me.

I don't get it why the most pick up the weecade instead of a Verticade.... glad I made 2  :cheers:

Well sorry! In than case I'm going to inform you that your control panel is a bit tiny. How can you serve a 5 dish meal on that tiny real estate? Think McFly!!!

I once gave a girl weecades. They lingered for months.

Alright, given that you have access to a big-ass industrial CNC machine to cut your parts, let me remind you that you can NOT do an easy project. Let's raise the bar a little...

You must cut your panels... WITH... A HERRING!  :D

Alright, seriously now: we've seen a lot of bartops and miniature cabinets for the last few years and even scaled-up versions of consoles, such as the Scale Game Boy (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,135301.0.html) by jahilton2002.

So here's another direction: what about making a regular-sized arcade cabinet but with design cues taken from a home console instead? Or the opposite, such as a case for a home console with design cues from the original arcade system? Let's say a case for the classic Nintendo Entertainment System hardware but styled in the way of the Nintendo arcade cabinet?

Or even maybe a mix of the two ideas: what would a giant Game Boy look like if it still had to be made inside the regular Nintendo arcade cabinet, with a slot for the real, regular-sized carts in the front (similar to the memory card slot on an MVS cabinet)?

And I'm not talking about this... thing.  :P
