Hmm, isnt that brown?  :D

The cabinet looks good, to be honest. Personally I thought about an DIY Nintendo cabinet too ( because a lot of dedicated ones are already gone / dumped ), but now I have a dedicated one.

So you built yours from that online plans?

I think I have seen such an acid green cabinet before, and personally I don't like it. But your cabinet looks very well built!  :)

I regret that I said that I don't like it. It's just that it's not a standard Nintendo cab color, so it takes some time to get used to it.  :D

2 or 3 buttons, depends on your area imo. If you have no problem to place 10 cabs into your gameroom, I would stay as close as original as possible. If you only have space for 2 cabs, a "more button system" is more practical for you ( which im not a fan off ).

About the colors:

There are many colors to choose from  ;D

yes im with you

for now 3 cabs

and the nintendo cab have the great solution that you can change the CPO

so when i add other cabs i put the cab in original state

for examplke my DK JR have vertical monitor but i put a mod cpo with JUMP RUN BUTTON (2 button ) also i have the original nintendo new with 1 button with all original and when i take another vertical

example PAULINE DK or pacman or something like that i put the original CPO but my idea is

dk jr i leave with 2 button and i put in the DK the original CPO and i put the vertical monitor because now i have a horizontal and mame CPO with 2 player 6 buttons that i really dont like

im prefer close to original but ...the space is important :D

so the future plans is 4 nintendo cab  / 1 pacman or galaga / 1 neo geo MVS RED and i can put all the mame games horizontal from 1 to 4 buttons on the neo geo

i prefer mame because if you are good you can put native resolution and a lot of things but i have 1 popeye total original , same with my console collection i have the connected console modded  (rgb , etc. etc. ) and the rare in the box original

:) that's it
