Idea: Combination sit-down driving and showcase style cabinet

(1/3) > >>

KissMyWookie:
I'm still in the planning stage for my MAME cabinet and came up with a new idea last night.

I love driving games, so was thinking it might be possible to build a Showcase style cabinet with a driving setup between the monitor and the stand-up control panel.

The front half would be a regular driving setup, with steering wheel mounted just below the monitor. Then there would be the seat and behind that, the stand-up control panel.

Obviously, the stand-up control panel would have to be further away from the monitor than usual, which might/might not work with my 29" NEC Multisync monitor.

It would also be a nice setup to use for light gun games (I have a couple of Guncon 2's on the way).

...

Has anyone seen anything like this before, or do you have any pros/cons about this idea?

Steve

Ah! beat me to it LOL

I hated that game it was a royal pain the back up of that truck was all over the place  :dizzy:

I was thinking along these lines and another design I thought about was the star wars trilogy

A guy took a Luky and Wild and converted it to a dedicated driving and gun game. Really neat idea. Maybe something like that with a CP on the back side of the seat. The L&W had a 27" monitor.

Im gonna be looking for the right driving or gun game to convert into a combination setup.

andy from ultimarc was recently asking about a gun interface for mame, so id guess hes planning to build one. Dont quote me on that though.
