I've been on here for a while, thought I'd share my projects.



Unfortunately the audio did not convert....damn brokeass convertor.

Notes:
-white fans for each player are going to be mounted to the front of the control panel for each cab... they will be adjustable.
-grey box shown in vid is a db25 switcher, used so that I can wire DC, PS2, XBX to each player joystick and buttons without having to rewire everytime I wanted to play a different system. I just turn the switch to the system I want to play
-custom padded showcase cab will play DC, PS2, XBX.... XBX has mame on it as well as FBA and other emus
-I need to rewire the blue Naomi cab completely. But, yes, that is Naomi MVC2 in there. In fact, I will rewire both that blue cab, and the 50" megalo VF cab to accept Naomi systems. If you know where I can get a GD setup with CVS2 please let me know.
-I need to get new control panels custom made for both the blue naomi cab, and the megalo in US 6button layout.

A lot more work to do... Oh yeh... This is what I consider Phase-1.

Phase-2 will include:
-2 japanese candy cabinets in head-2-head versus style
-CVS2 Naomi
-3s CPS3

And, if I'm projecting even further into the future...

Phase-3 will include:
-DDR machine dedicated
-House of the dead Lindbergh

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, Megalo50's are awesome!

That padded CP is a great idea. as is the video to explain it.  But get us some high resolution photos.  Stat!

Pics?

Yeah, I usually play marathon sessions so after hours of gaming on cabinets that use plexi or metal as a top panel I came to the conclusion that I needed something built for comfort.  The padding will 'wear down' a bit after gaming so that its not as tall, but either way it is extremely comfortable.  Also, when you 'mash' the buttons its right at the tips of your fingers, so theres less force to activate, and slightly quicker.
