Title: vertical monitor cabinets, what does your front end look like? please move...
Post by: severdhed on September 10, 2010, 06:34:29 pm

since i have my 4player showcase cabinet functional, i am getting ready to convert my existing 2 player horizontal mame cabinet into a vertical classics cabinet.  i am planning on using MaLa as my front end, because i really like the way it works, and i am pretty familiar with it by now.  i started workign on a layout for it the other night, but I found that making a vertical layout is alot more difficult than a horizontal layout.  the only vertical layout i have made is the one i used in the DK cabinet i got rid of.  i was pretty happy with that layout, but it just doesn't fit in with the theme of my ZakMan cabinet. It was also set up at 640x480.  i am using a 19" LCD monitor in this cabinet so i'll probably set it up at the native resolution at 1280x1024.

anyway, i am looking for inspiration...for those of you who have cabinets with vertical monitors, can you post a pic of your front end?

here is a shot of my old DK mala layout for reference...

There's a shot of the vertical front end on my TimeSink build.  It is about midway down on page 4.  Good luck.
