Hi all. I built my stand alone controller about 3 years ago (it is on the examples page). I went this route as I never had room for a full sized arcade cabinet (renting at the time). Now with a new house purchase I took the plunge. Found my cabinet (converted Sega WrestleWar) at an auction here in Ohio for $30 bucks. The damn thing is 100% functional.. $30 bucks... So I am at a crossroads now. I have a viewsonic 21" monitor for the cabinet. That was the original plan assuming I couldn't get a working cabinet for my budget. But with the great deal I got I now have a WG 7000 series monitor to play with. It is vertically mounted. I intended to run windows 98 in the cab with mame, callus and an atari 2600 emu. My dilemma is that Robotron is in a tie for galaga as greatest game ever. If I use a horizontal arcade monitor mount will I be able to run vertical games? And has anyone run windows on the wg7000? Most people have been using the 3100 for windows. So now knowing the hardware I have and the games I want to run what do you think I should do.
Thanks. I hold the opinions of this board in very high regard.
