I am working a dedicated cabinet for Mame trackball games (ie, GT, Bowling, etc).
Some of the decisions that affected my design:
- Based on a few searches, I believe 3 buttons is max for any mame trackball games (Missile Command).
- I will wire up all 6 player buttons seperately. But in some games, such as missile command, i will map player button 1/2/3 to both sides of the trackball. And in some other games, such as Golden Tee, i will map the outermost left button as "club left" and the outermost right to "club right".
- I will use an LEDWiz with RGB Drive buttons. Based on the game, the buttons will lit up accordingly. Since I will only have a few games on it, if I have to create lighting files for each game it should not be hard.
- I will be using some of MikeDeuce's LED discs for the top row of buttons: P1 Start, 25 cent, Pause, Exit, Menu, P2 Start, 25 cent.
- The top 3 buttons over the trackball will be double duty mouse/admin buttons.
- The cabinet will only run mame.
- The cabinet will have a golden tee look and feel. I plan on using an older golden tee overlay on the control panel. I added the golden tee sticker set to my mock up. The stickers are not to exact scale.
That should do it. Please let me know what you think. I will also post the Visio template when finalized.
Thanks.
