Title: What's the name again of this project
Post by: Gorre on March 16, 2003, 02:49:01 am

Hi all,

I'm thinking of modifying my cabinet with a rotating CP.
There was one project here (a while ago) that had the rotating CP in the cabinet, it was done so superb that from the outside you could not see that it even had a rotating CP.
Anyone remember this project and/or it's link?.

Thanx,

The other implementation of 1UPs rotating control panel was on The Mametrix: www.the-mametrix.com (http://www.the-mametrix.com)

Let's not leave out xiou2's 6 sided rotating cabinet (http://www.xiaou2.homestead.com/arcade.html)

Although I imagine originally you were talking about 1ups...

I think the 6-sided one is going too far.  I would think the controls from the panels below the one you're using would jab you in the crotch...not good! :o :o

I don't think the mametrix is finished yet, but 1up has a very clean cut, professional looking rotating CP and his is definitely the example to go by!

  Actually, that isnt the case.   The control panels were arranged in such a way that they do not interfere with the players space.

  Certain panels that are higher than the others end up at 45degree angles either up or down away from the player.
