Good news on the D9200 monitors for the full cabinets.  Just another question, for the 4-player panel, will options such as trackball, spinner, 4-way joystick, player select buttons, etc. be included?  Basically, similiar to the Slikstik Quad control panel?
Also, on the website I noticed the Terminator 2 guns listed as a future project.  Looked extremely cool.  Is it possible that one of the full cabinets would have the 4-player panel, a steering wheel panel, and the Terminator 2 guns on the third panel?  That would perhaps be my "dream" setup.  Is that possible?
Thanks.

For starters, the panels will come in a standard layout, similar to what is on my cabinet now (panel 1 = fighter sticks and 4-way, panel 2 = trigger sticks, trackball and spinner, panel 3 = steering wheel or yoke).  I will know later if it will be possible to have custom or multiple choices for control panel layouts.

As far as T2 guns, unless someone starts making these, I don't see that becoming an option.  I have put my integrating my own guns on hold as there is currently no place to put them.  I would like something like the low-slung positional guns that I've seen  on some more recent gun games where you shoot from the hip, like on "Alien3 - The Gun".  This is not in my current plans, but I may ship with a lightgun option.

Thanks.
Just to confirm, when you mentioned the cabinets before, you stated that the 4-player cabinets would be from $2500-$4000.  So will the panel 1 be shipping as a standard 4 player control panel?  How many buttons per player? Or would that be a special option?
Hoping that the 4-player control panel (panel 1) will be a standard option, although on the website it looks like it is a two player control panel.

1UP:
Not everyone wants a 4-player, so it will either be an option, or a different model.  My preference is to do it as an add-on kit, so if you later decide you want a 4-player, it's and easy retrofit.  For that matter, you could buy the kit and retrofit any 2 player cab into a 4 player.

The 3rd and 4th player controls will be added on the sides, so they will not be part of the rotating assembly.  The shape of the cab will also change slightly to allow for design improvements.  As far as I know, none of the 4-player games use more than 4 buttons.  I will plan for 4 unless someone speaks up now...

This is not just going to be a mass-produced version of Pac-Mamea folks, this is a whole new product, with a whole new website coming soon!

how about a panel option for 2 player 4 stick games like Karate Champ PvP, Smash TV, Robotron, etc..

Why would that need to be different than a 4 player setup?  The sticks would just be arranged so they work either way.  I don't think it would be cost effective to have a dozen different panel setups.  I'm trying to keep things simple here...
