tumult Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Mongo - agreed. Is it safe to assume you didn't buy the arcade new?tum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 got it off of Craigslist -- I was going to build one, but didnt have the time. I bumped into this on CL and I couldn't pass it up! I decided to go with this one for the 4 player action ( Simpsons, TMNT arcade) and the NES emulator that plays the oldies like Mega Man ( always been my alltime favorite game!)

tumult Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I built my arcade cabinet in 2005 and bought a 2-player stikstik control panel back when they were in business. I've since upgraded to a 4-player model:) You should head over to byoac to read up on the demise of slikstik which is why I asked...Those arcades are crazy fun...great purchase!tum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Here is mine that i modified earlier this year. It is a tekken 5 replica cabinet that i rewired to a PC with a IPAC keyboard encoder (for joysticks), Snes joypads, PSX joypads, EMS Topgun lightgun and a 25kg *cough* dance dance revolution stage.Runs hyperspin-fe as a front end (see link below for hyperspin demo).

ILoveC4 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Nice. You guys have got me jealous...I need to make one of these!In my old house we had an arcade, and had 16 arcade games that I purcahse from a local arcade that went out of business. The folks that bought the house REALLY wanted them so they were left behind... 16 was too many anyways...having one of these with a nice display is the way to go.I think I might add this to my project list!

Letran Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 What I would like to see is the Control4 Video wall with full game controller integration. That would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The Control4 video wall doesn't tie panels together to make one big display, it just allows you to control multiple TV's in the same room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine on CL, the guy wanted $1300, but I created huge interest, then kept beating him down on price for about 3 weeks. End result, picked it up for $800! If your technologically inclined like Alan ( Damn thats a sexy arcade) -- you can build one for probably about $1000 ( depending on how big the monitor is) -- I am not, so I went the buy used route. If you do decide to buy used, make sure to check all the games you really want to work, because finding working Rom's can be a PITA. This is a great resrouce for either fixing, buying or building arcades..http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Alan, How hard was it to set up Hyperspin. My system came with Gameex as its front end, but from the Demo of Hyperspin there, I am digging it. I am not computer genius by any means, I am ok enough to read and learn from forums and such - is the setup overwhelmingly complicated?I am running MAME, SNES, NES, PS1, emulators.

alanchow Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I actually didn't build my machine. I just rewired it. Mine is actually a real arcade machine that I bought off an arcade wholesaler. It came with jamma wiring and all. Hyperspin is a bitch to setup for non mame systems but is well worth it. Check out hyperspin-fe.com for more info.For those interested mine cost me $3000 for the macine and $600 for the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working through finding some themes, and video for Mame, before I try to tacke the NES emulator again. ALthough, this FE is pretty damn sweet! PS -- good luck with your new job!

Chrishttp://emumovies.com has a large collection of preview videos. Registration is free however if you want to do a huge amount of leeching then you will need to pay for membership. Membership is quite cheap anyway. I've been working on my hyperspin setup for about 1/2 a year now trying to get everything else nice and pretty. I would recommend that you also become a gold member for Hyperspin. You will get access to their FTP which makes downloading themes and everything else quite easy.
