DazzleHP Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ooooo a widescreen cab - don't see many of them! That should help with all the elbowing when the beer gets flowing huh I like the handy gamepad holders on the side too. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Arkanoid for one, tron, probably others too.If you buy a kit you can also turn it into a steering wheel for racing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 That's a tough decision?The answer is to put a weight lifting simulator on your cabinet. Problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Not even for a bar top? Im getting a new coffee table soon so I might convince the missus to let me gut it and build something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks Adultery! Funnily enough, I remembered I had this in my dusty DS collection in my loft, so dug it out and gave it a spin....I got this far and then put my foot through the screen....At which point, my personal trainer and I parted company due to personal differences. I feel stoked though after my right thigh crunches.(sorry to hijack the thread, OP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madfrog2000 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Haha There is also a boxing bag in there for those moments when people lose too much And KRC you could also just build a little game pad for your laptop/pc if room is a problem That is my next project during xmas holidays.

Tempest Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Or build a CP with the computer inside of it. When you feel like playing you get it out and hook it to any TV in the house. If / When you get around to building a cab, you can use the CP on your cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm currently in talk's with a guy who has MK2 arcade machine shell, It's not to big a cabinet but I will still need to find room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Have you considered building a bartop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madfrog2000 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 So I just brought a 2nd cab to do up during Xmas holidays. I was wondering if I am able to use GameEx on two machines at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Sure as long as they're both reporting from the same ip address. I use the same key on two different machines, but the gamertag only shows for one if them. If you were to sell it or give it to someone you should get a new key. Nice job on that by the way. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
