Someone else might be able to give you a definite answer but I've never come across one in my two years of looking for NNC stuff.

not a direct answer to your question but maybe helpful: you can fit blast city and astro city panels into naomis / net city. and there are definitely 1player ones. just fyi.

Thanks for the reply's.
I'll have to fit either an Astro 1P or Naomi / Net City 1P.
I was hoping that a 1P NNC existed as the 2P is awsome.

Cheers,
Steve

well a astro or blast city panel won't be less "awesome"

to make it look legit you could pry the graphics off and print this : http://benoit.degand.free.fr/Overlay/overlay.png
on a vinyl sticker and apply it to the panel.

a second ago i actually found that ags is selling 1p nnc panels, not official sega but looks alright : http://triplemoonstar.brinkster.net/the ... ockid=2210
quite pricey though, even with all the control parts.

oh and i just found out that arcade forge have added a 1p panel to their shop : http://wp1114205.wp150.webpack.hosteuro ... tqi6k1l1a5
you could buy one and apply a vinyl sticker with the above vector.

or you could buy the arcade forge panel with the fitting acryl panel : http://wp1114205.wp150.webpack.hosteuro ... ucts_id=47
and put yout custom graphics under it. just keep in mind that the metal panel toghether with the acryl gives you about 5mm thickness so it might be difficult to mount
short sticks like the ls-33 or even ls-32. as they haven't been predrilled for standard mounting plates you could remove it and mount the joystick directly to the panel
gaining 1,6mm of height. with a ls-32 that gives you 24mm which is great, but a ls-33 is less than 23mm which si pretty short. i contacted arcade forge and asked for a 2mm
panel and they said this is doable for the same price, although it will be with rough edges as they can't sand them.

I had already seen the AGS Net City 1P panel but I don't like the colour.
I really like the 'silver' NNC.

I am now thinking of getting a 'silver' Vewlix L 1P panel and getting it profile milled to suit the NNC.

A bit crazy I know but 'what the hell' !!!!

Not crazy as long as it looks good.

The problem i see with this is that you'll pay a lot for the original panel and waste it right after. Also if you change it's shape the overlay will look chewed.

I would actually try to rather make one in the shape of the naomi panel but with the viewlix layout and add a viewlix overlay.

Arcadeforge will definitely make the custom acryl plate, if you ask them they might do a custom metal panel also.

Good suggestion.
I actually only want a (4) button 1P CP.
I'll contact Arcade Forge and see what options I have.

Thanks for the advice.

Bare metal plate, polished, custom sticker in NNC style printed onto transparency rather than white substrate.
