I have been wanting to do a mame cab that people would actually like. This would be a new cnc cut cab, so we won't be killing any classics at all, new parts throughout. We have seen the horrors of mame machines, and there is no question most are awful.
We all know the prices are equally horrific lol. what would you want in a mame cab?
1. monitor size and orientation
2. controls
3. artwork
1. i like 32" myself
2. i like 2 joysticks 4/8 way switchable 6 buttons each. Trackball in the center, using 1,2,3 buttons from player one, for games like missile command. no redundant buttons. Spinner control to the right of trackball, tempest, arkanoid, etc. 1,2 coinup 1,2 start. Menu button/esc button.
that's about the bare minimum for buttons, and doesn't look overly crowded.
3. artwork, something retro without being tacky.
