As far as I see it the real ultimate Mame setup cannot be accomplished with a single machine. Well it kind of can, but I don't want to be swapping control panels and rotating monitors. (Plus I have never seen a rotating monitor setup that looked really good anyway).
This would be my Ultimate Gaming/Mame setup.
(All Mame cabinets would have 19" Pc monitors)
Mame Cabinet with 1-4 way stick and 4 buttons, vetical monitor.
Mame Cabinet with 1-4 way stick and 4 buttons horizontal monitor.
Mame Cabinet with 2-8 ways sticks 6 buttons each Horizontal monitor.
Mame Cabinet with 2-8 ways sticks 4 buttons each vertical monitor.
Mame Cabinet with 2 analog sticks 4 buttons each horizontal monitor
Mame Cabinet with 2 analog sticks 4 buttons and 1 spinner vertical
Mame Cabinet with 1 Spinner, and 1 trackball, 4 buttons horizontal
Mame Cabinet with 1 spinner and 1 trackball, 4 buttons vertical.
Mame Cabinet with steering wheel horizontal
Mame Cabinet with steering wheel vertical
And finally.
A dedicated sit down Stun Runner. (Because I really Really really want one.
11 Machines total, not bad for a basement. It would fill one wall nicely.
Probably wouldn't be too expensive either if you did it over a couple of years.
I already have 1 machine done and I only spent a couple hundred on it. So who knows maybe I can build them all.
