I bought mine Back In The Day, for one specific reason: the “Assault” emulator in Namco Museum volume 4 supports this controller! Just plug it in, launch the game, and you’re good to go. The joysticks have too large a throw and not enough auto-centering to be considered perfect, but it’s still very very good.

Cabinets Done! Well almost. I still have to finish up the outside. But its all constructed. I used your design as a starting point and modified it to work with the equipment I had. Ended up being 24″x24″x30″. So its a big bartop but I love it. I’m doing some write-ups of it @ mamegamers.com. You should check it out sometime.

I appreciate your help. I actually ordered my buttons, joysticks, and trackball from xgaming.com, makers of the Tankstick. I’m using the i-PAC2 to control everything. Looked easier to setup and has 4 more inputs that the BYO from xgaming.com. So If I wanted to add 4 more buttons or say a true 4-way joystick for games that use them. I’ve been studying a lot of different bartop designs. But this idea is a pretty old now. So most of them that you find don’t use LCD, especially a 16:9 AR one. I’m hoping to be able to take advantage of the designs you have listed as a template but still keep it a bartop size.

Bob, take a look at the X-Arcade Tankstick… if nothing else, their layout might help with your control panel design…

Saw these plans you posted and I was looking for some plans for a bartop Great help. I’m actually building the one you have shown but for a 20″ monitor same layout on the controls but im going to add a trackball in the middle of the two sets. so it will be a lil wider then the original but these plans help out tremendously! Thanks I’ll definitely send ya some pics when Im done.

Hello Guru, what entice you to post an article. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
