Hi everyone
New here!
Been working on this for a few days and so far I kinda like it. I think I'll add some slight changes here and there.
What inspired me to build my own cab? After seeing a video of Killer Instinct arcade and it's insanely huge differences from the SNES version, I wanted to play it old school style with a joystick and 6 buttons to get the real arcade feel. Downloaded the emulator/rom and played it on my keyboard. Not good enough! So I ended up on x-arcade.com and picked up a dual joystick. I saw they had cabinet kits which looked awesome but way too pricey. Then it occurred to me... Why not try and build my own? Then the researching began and I found you guys :)
What do you guys think? I figure this name is already taken but what the heck, it sounds cool :)

The cabinet's structure will change a bit more, I'm not quite done with that yet. I still need to add the plexiglass area and build the control panel.
Looking to get started on the actual building by the end of the month :)
Really excited for this project!!

I love it but you stole my name! I am also in the planning phase of "Retrocade"!! Mine will be a reduced size vertical cab, so hopefully you won't mind another "Retrocade" out there.

Haha I think there are a few other Retrocades out there :). I hope they don't mind!
