Okay, how about a MAME cab where you can stand up or sit down, has 4 player joysticks, steering wheels, light pistols and light rifles, all the buttons you will ever need for any arcade game, a port for a PS2 controller, and more. any ideas?

things like this have been done hell i was originally planning on something similar with a dreamcast, and explain this standup sitdown thing do you like mean theyre would be a chair? because that doesnt really need to be said

some more things: Internet connection, trackballs, a keyboard port, and a coin slot

the chair thing is like this:

the chair is removable. I'm good with paint

I've seen several people attempt something like this. It always ends up either being impractical to use, or aesthetically revolting. At the very least I would say go with two different cabinets, one for racing games, one for pretty much everything else.

I had my sketch up for the HyperMame..
Can't find it...
It would have a 50" hd tv, 7 player , flip around driving controls, and super comfy gaming chairs with built in speakers on the seats sides.

Why on EARTH would you need a 50 inch HDTV for MAME?

X-Men 6 players had dual 25" screens side by side: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?let ... e_id=10496

A handfull of others did too. Some games go up to 480p, so the res is handy as well.

You'd need one for those games that are coming out soon that no modern computer could possibly run at half speed.

I was thinking about a normal mame cabinet with dual lightguns. That is, if I can find any lightgun games I like that can run on this thing.
