SHUMP cabs
SithMaster:
Want to build one but cant find good cabs to base designs on. I found ones for galaga and such but these are to old. I was hoping for something newer does anyone own a don don pachi and wouldnt mind posting dimensions on the shape from the side.
Also most or all shumps have 8 ways and 2 buttons correct.

i personally like the neo-geo style cabnets for shutemups. with a vertical monitor, 2-players, and with 2 or 3 button, and no overhanging cp it works out perfectly for 2-player shootemups.
TalkingOctopus:
When I think of a SHMUP CAB, I think of a japanese candy cab. No construction needed there. Some SHMUPS use 3 buttons so I'd include 3. Sometimes it is nice to assign the third button to rapid fire as well so you don't have to keep smashing button 1.
spiffyshoes:
Yeah when I think of Shmups I think Candy Cab. I mean how could you not want to play you Shmups in one of these?
The only other Cab I think of is the cabs that shmups like 1943 and AeroFighters came in. But I'd much rather play my Shmups in one of those Exceleena Blue cabs.
SithMaster:
Alright i almost finished my design. It will be in three pieces-base, cp, and montior cover. Since i cant get a candy cab im going to make an upright based on other cabs. Im going to have cup holders in the cp. Someone mentioned 3 buttons and i cant seem to find which games use them so can someone say which do. I wnat to play vertical shoters like 1945kiii, dondonpachi, and gunbird.
It'll be a red and black scheme-black for the cab and red t molding.
the controls will include
2x joysticks-need advice for which ones
4x or 6x buttons for fire
2x start
1x esc
and eventually a coin mech for 2 players
any ideas are welcome escpecially for which buttons should be which color. thanks
