lets start over ( Nintendo VS Dual cab)

<< < (3/3)

Jack Burton:
I would do exactly that.

If I wasn't going to change the control panels then I would just add a third button for each player and call it a day.

daywane:
Started on this today.
very tedious. 2600 is getting all the stuff inside. I am pulling the wire harness. Marking each and every connection so he can slap it in his system.
I found some missing games for it inside of it. I thing he will be happy.
Very heavy cab. I try not to move it often. I forgot I put the extra stuff inside it.
I hope to have it gutted tomarrow

2600:

i'm sure i read posts on it by The Guru(tm), ken layton in arcade misc :-\

If I was to keep the Nintendo monitors anduse 2 PCs the yest there would be a sink problem.
But the Nintendo monitors are coming out of it.
I hope to put in 1,  19inch  flat LCD monitor and 1 , 20 inch CRT monitor

I am not sure if I can use the CRT one.
I hope I do not have to save up another $200.00 bucks

The LCD and CRT shouldn't have an issue.  Even if you used one PC and the original monitors it's still possible to get the sync issue as video outputs may not have the same sync.  Adding the one LCD should resolve that issue and if you are using a regular PC CRTs then I think it's even less as likely as well because they are shielded pretty well unlike Arcade monitors

I'm torn on this one.  I'm not sure if I would make one horizontal and one vertical or keep them both horizontal and one PC.  Either way I think it's an interesting project that many have talked about, but this is the first time someone is actually doing it.

daywane:
I would like to find someone who can make a few blank panels for me.
I would like to ship a set of the controll panels and have them made with no holes in them at all, Just the same shape.

mimic:
I don't know like you guys, but I think this is the most perfect idea for 4 player cab if I ever saw one. Without the need for a frankenpanel. As Jack Burton mentioned on one side regular tv/monitor for best arcade experience, on the other wide screen lcd sideways for pinball, consoles and other players!
Yup, that's what I'm doing as my next project! Wish I saw it earlier!
