upgrading cabinet to cater for 4 players?

(1/2) > >>

howdy there - first post! this site looks ace - loads of info!
well, just purchased my first cabinet - a jamma one which is already modified for mame.

it currently holds 2 player controls (2 joysticks and 12 buttons) but i was wondering how hard (if poss) it is to add 4 player controls. obvioulsy, the unit is not big enough as standard (being only 57cm wide) so would need some modification to the cabinet itself. is this quite easily done?

eg if i were to get a slikstik quad, would it be poss to rip old the old stuff and somehow add the unit to the cabinet?!

You should take  apic.... to give everyone a better idea.

gully:
yep, good idea :P

Cabient is small. If you will rebuild him on 4 players you will find on this
side.

miles2912:
What kowal so elegantly was attemting to say is that the conversion to a 4 way cab will be difficult at best.  So much that I would keep this one for 2 players and buy a much bigger cab or plan on making one.  Most 4 player cabs have larger monitors and much larger Control Panels.  Modifying the CP on the cab you have would involve rasing it up (or cutting out the existing sides) and adding 12 inches or so in either direction.  It would really stick out and players would have a hard time seeing the monitor.
