Finally pulled the trigger on a mame cabinet
yotsuya:
I'd email them to see if they've built the CP, and if they haven't, I'd make the request.
You could probably do that in MAME, but then the artwork wouldn't match up. That could be fixed with a sticker, though. I'd try and see if you can get it rectified before they ship. Good luck!

Yeah, I'm torn on this one... a bit ruthless but at the same time the site is called Build Your Own Arcade Controls so I can see how some feathers could get ruffled with a post like this. It's sorta like going to a forum that's dedicated to working on cars and showing people what your mechanic did.
That being said as long as he is happy with the end result, more power to him!

I've always likened it to going to a woodworking hobbyist site and showing off photos of what you bought at Ikea. Yeah, your Gnörf is a bookshelf, but it's not like the bookshelves the guys there are going to be discussing/impressed by.
But I will agree with the sentiment in the final sentence. The whole Kaneda Affair kinda brought that to home. If it's what you want and you have fun with it, have at it. I will give the OP props for not flying off the handle with the comments, and I commend him for seeing the potential issue with P3 + P4. Let us know if you're happy with it when it shows up! :cheers:

Meh, haters gonna hate. There's room under the umbrella for this.

In case you hadn't noticed, our number one thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade section is hustling a bunch of ready to assemble kits less complicated than a Duplo set.

I will contact them to see if it can be changed, if not the artwork wont bother me, and a sticker can fix that at a later date.
As to the screen being to large, my thoughts were that if it's too big the aspect ratio might be able to fix any size issue being too close, and when it comes to playing a shooting game, the aspect can be changed back where you're far enough back that eye relief wont be too much of an issue.
Thank you yotsuya, i have pretty thick skin, and as this cabinet will be for me and friends and family, the ultimate end will be my happiness and the ability to fix any issues pointed out by you guys.
And I wanted to apologize if starting this thread about getting a cabinet ruffled any feathers, this wasnt about hey look what I can buy because i can and you guys build stuff.
I realize this site is about building cabinets and i see the point about going on a build forum showing what I put personal zero effort into. I have nothing but respect for you guys and what you build, your technical expertise and skills, and i've seen some amazing work on here. I wish I had the patience,time and resources to build my own, but being a single father working a full time job makes doing that a little hard at this point in my life,and a purchase was a better choice for me.

Point being?
I read the thread carefully and didn't see them coming with a computer or monitor complete with *wink wink* hyperspin, mame, every rom and emulator known to man.
good day.
