Idea for a multi-monitor cab for ArcadeSD multiboard
Figured I'd float this idea and see what people think.
I've got a Boot Hill at home and for those whom aren't familiar with it it has a monitor mounted facing up and is reflected at the player off a 2-way mirror, and behind the mirror there's a plastic background which is lit, can be seen and the monitor image appears to be overlayed on it.
Long story short is I wonder how well this technique would work for TWO monitors, one mounted in vertical orientation and the other horizontal, instead of just one with a background? In other words you could switch between them to accommodate the ArcadeSD games that use either. Now granted the image on the reflected monitor would have to be reversed, but my understanding is that's simply a matter of flipping the coil wires.
Thoughts? Ideas? Insults?
Oh and for the recorded I'm not talking about hacking up my Boot Hill, I'm talking about building a new custom cab from scratch.
Attached is a mockup of what I'm talking about:
