Slashdot Mirror

None of you read, do you? Look around the Mametrix site, and you'll see that he credits ME for the inspiration. Not only that, look at my links page for several other designs that have followed in my footsteps. Who wou'dn't want a machine that can play everything without disconnecting a single cable? ;)

BTW, Look around MY site a little more 1UPArcade and you'll see what the finished cab looks like. What you saw was a throwaway prototype. Why is everyone so eager to rip into me? Did I cut y'all off on the expressway? Or is the green eyed monster rearing its ugly head?

I've been slashdotted once, and the feedback was much more positive, although it blew my bandwidth. Apparently, most of you only clicked on the "rotating control panels" link, without looking at the rest of the site. Those pictures are almost 2 years old, and they are of a throwaway PROTOTYPE panel that was made solely to test the concept, without regard for fit and finish. The final cabinet was finished about a year ago. It can be seen in the above links.

I expected people to be a little more civil than this. Don't start ripping on stuff before you do a little looking around. Everytime someone links to my site here, my monthly bandwidth is gone within a few days. Have a little consideration, I didn't ask for the publicity, and I certainly don't appreciate coming here to find everyone burning me in effigy. Thanks. 1UP

Wow...

First of all.. -- Where's your cabinet?

Second of all, if you took the time to see the finished cabinet, You'd see how ideal the rotating panel really is. (HINT: Did you read the words Prototype on the linked page? Click on the Home button on the toolbar.. No wait.. I'll help you out. Click Here: HOME)

I've been working on a cabinet, and i'm going to have to use swappable control panels to get all the controls I want, which royally sucks (Where am I going to store the panels while not is use?). 1Up's rotating control panel is amazing, and took a lot of hard work.. Don't like it? Come up with something better.

Damn trolls..

Frostillicus Rotating Control Panel Mame Cabinet

1up's original rotating cabinet PacMamea

None of these projects would be possible without ArcadeControls.com and it's excellent Message Board/Community

Discussion of Top 20 most inspirational mame cabinets

*shrug*

E.

Ultimate MAME box? That's a bold statement. Granted, it's nice.. but nothing really revolutionary. There are some much better examples of cabinets with original artwork or insane designs such as: 1-up's Pac-Mamea, Mamestation II.. It's a very nice box tho. I'd prefer swappable control panels to a one panel jammed with controls, but eh.. to each his own. For tons of examples, go to Build Your Own Arcade Controls.

This is nothing new. Check out Arcadecontrols.com . Folks have been building there own arcades for awhile now.

If you want to check out an utlimate Mame box, take a look here:
