ZXman1000 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) So back in Mid 2020 I started the process of getting a custom cab together but life happened and it fell to the way side. I had managed to purchase a lot of material and get a rough plan together but never did any actual cutting. Thinking that was a good thing since I have had months of time to think more about what I want to do with this cab and have some better ideas of what I really want out of it. I got confirmation that my Sinden light guns are actually going to ship in the next month so I am motivated again to get this cab built. All that said I have the attached CP layout I am planning on going with and wanted some general advice if I am missing something really needed or going overboard with something else. Going to be an all in one cab with a 42" screen and 2 Sinden light guns. I also have 2 foot pedals coming for time crisis / 2 spicy / etc.. that will be incorporated to cab base. The CP is 48X20 with that top notch being 2 inches to meet up with the screen which will be mounted little into the cab to provide a little more distance between the player and screen. I have done a cardboard mock up and everything fits pretty comfortably. The boxes are for a stream deck (left) and a 7" screen (right) that will be running a marquee image (neither is really needed but I already have them and can fit them in so would like to go for it (They will be mounted flush so won't impede any ones hand placement) I know that 4 buttons (heck even 3) is really enough for P3&4 and am considering dropping down but like the idea that 6 really covers everything including some home counsels. 8 buttons for P1&2 is to cover home systems and provide the 4 in a row for SNK games. Trackball for the handful of games its needed. 2 spinners so can play spinner games with either buttons to left or right and the few multiplayer spinner games. I also like the idea of being able to attach a wheel for games like off road and alike. Used the Slagcoin template for button placement. I have never really cared for flight games and can not stand the look of a flight stick in the middle of a CP so thats why its not there. Thoughts?

ZXman1000 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I made a few minor adjustments but went ahead and ordered graphics based on the above design. Will post the CP once its cut out and graphics installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
