Title: Turbo Sitdown Mame Machine
Post by: rob1234 on December 14, 2004, 11:50:15 pm

I finally finished my sitdown cab Lilwolf gave to me nearly a year ago. It was missing the monitor when I recieved it, and it was already painted over. I put in a 25" tv, I had to remove the screen and chasis from the case in order for it to fit in the cab. I added a 4 speed shifter, some buttons on the control panel, a pedal from a super sprint, side art that was designed by Felsir, he also designed the artwork I have around the monitor.

there was no one place. Me and my brother just asked around on the board. Oscar sells a mouse hack and an optical board that allows you to use a 360 wheel. I used a microsoft dual strike controller hack to hook up the super spring pedal (you most likely want a pedal like this) Ask/look around for a post about a custom made turbo cabinet that had 2 steering wheels. This guy had a tutorial about how he built his. It was a little helpful. http://www.oscarcontrols.com
