No matter how you enlarge the control panel it will look stupid.
Tearing up NICE looking JAMMA/System 16 machines that have no problems in order to Mame them is stupid. I Mame empties, or complete junk. Of course, that is your only cabinet, so you probably don't want to hear it.
A Streetfighter 2 layout will fit that panel easily. Many SF2 machines WERE in that exact cabinet.

I have to agree with paige, don't put a differnt panel on that. Anything other than the orignal size would look atrocious. A SF2 layout would work fine for what... 80% of all MAME games... more perhaps? I would go the ArcadeVGA/JPac route and swappable panels if you just HAD to have a certain type of control. In fact, that's what I plan to do with my cab minus the swappable panels, cuz my cab already has an oversized CP. Good luck

You can fit 2 6-button layouts on the CP, with the start buttons on the top on that size CP. Yes, it's a mite tight, but I think that would be better than adding a beast panel. You may need to start from a bare control panel for it to work properly. I'm getting a bending brake to bend my own blanks for my cabinet. If it works for me I'd be happy to take a stab on bending you a replacement CP for that cab, rather than have you drill a bunch of new holes in that one.

thanks, but I'm a machinist and have all those toys at my disposal.

It is a jamma with a system 16 converter plugged in. I have 4 arcade games right now and this one gets the least amount of play. I may do as Lilwolf suggested and swap between jamma and mame, with multiple control panels
Thanks to everyone that wrote. Keep them coming

Oh good, it is already jamma, then yeah, make a few new panels, go the J-Pac/arcadeVGA route.
