Ridge racer conversion
« on: June 22, 2005, 09:47:31 am »
Hello everyone,

I've posted about my control problems in the main forum, but I though i'd also post the link to my progress with the machine here too so you can take a look at what I hope is quite a unique conversion!

A ridge racer sit down machine!

http://www.gbax.com/mamecabinet which has some nice photos for you to see.

Any feedback would be much appreciated, and i'm very much enjoying building it :)

Thanks,

Craig

so maybe im just missing something, but why are you putting a control panel to play street fighter, etc. on a driving cab???  are you crazy?  DRIVING cab = DRIVING games

I agree.  Find a cheap emtpy stand-up cab for your project.. and keep the ridge racer as a driving cab.

Thats a nice driving cab shame you are turning it into a normal cab but it's yours so I guess you can do with it as you please.
