How would you turn this cab (original Carnivle) into a 4-player cab?
Tokey:
Yea I looked around this morning, actually called 3 places since everyone here got me feeling bad about changing it up... no one has anything for less than $200. I got this for $50 so I'm just going to go with it.
I am leaving all the original art on it, I'll just find a way to do a 4 player CP (simple, no trackballs or spinners just 4 joysticks and 30 buttons) without cutting the cab up. I'll have it be a "bolt on / screw on" and do it in red formica to match the original red CP. I'll even rig up the coin slot ;D
SirPeale:
Sure, a two player CP swap would be ideal. Just take the original one to a metal fabricator and have them repro it from the dimensions.
Lots of n00bies want four player cabs when they first decide to make a cab. But the reality is that you won't play four player games that often. No, really! Two players makes much more sense.
If you do want to get in some occasional four player action, make a USB hub accessible from the outside (say in the coin door area) and keep a couple gamepads handy.
SirPeale:
Since you're just getting started, finding cabs is going to be hard. Let me see what I can dig up...

I didn't know I could do this. Might be an option.
I do live in a house with 5 people though, all gaming fanatics, and we frequently have people over to play games so I can see the 4 player getting used a bit frequently. If I can't figure out a way to easily do this without cutting into the cab though I might just do a 2 player and say to hell with it.

Besides bro, with the extra wide CP and the slices up sides that cab is gonna look like crap.
4-player cabs need to be bigger all around and have a more upright monitor.
