Title: How much more $ does it take to build a 4 player Cabinet,and any more difficult?
Post by: link2005a on April 21, 2005, 12:16:32 pm
Weighing the options of building a 2 player arcade cabinet or a 4 player one, and just looking for some opinions as to how much more money it costs for a 4 player one and how much harder is it to build one (IE harder in physically building, controls issues, program issues, etc).

Thanks for any incite!

In most cases, the control panel sticks out. And are often made to be interchangeable so you can swap it out for a steering wheel control panel, or whatever. Here's my project where I converted a 2 player into a 4 player cabinet.

There are many other 4 player projects that can be seen in the "Project Announcements" (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,10.0.html) forum. You posted in the "Software Forum".
