MAME, Moduler (Model 2 emulator) and final burn + MAS or Real Arcade pro (I use both)

Supergun or consolized AES/Atomiswave/Type X (if consolized Type X boards exist)

A basement full of cabs?

Option 1 for me I have a real arcade pro and 2 Mas sticks I use (some Type X games don't like my sticks though)

My multicade is set up with a Xarcade Tankstick. I would recommend it to anyone. One of the best purchases I've ever made. I would also like to add that play-asia has a gun now that works with lcd tv's. I haven't got one yet, but I can't wait to get it. I use Mame, FinalBurn, and all the other emulators. I use my old computer from high school that I didn't want to get rid of. I have it set up with surround sound. The volume knob is on the center speaker which is concealed underneath the controller. The front speakers are in the traditional spot above the screen. The rear speakers sit beside it and can be put whereever. I got a 21" CRT monitor(heaviest part). I put a coin door on it, but I haven't had a chance to wire it yet. Mine is a work in progress. It needs to be painted bad. I work too much to finish it, but one day. . .

quick edit: any suggestions on paintjob or design ideas?

I wanted an X arcade for the longest time, but then I found out the parts are well MEH. It's a fine start but it doesn't take too much effort to build your own stick.

start at Lizardlick.com and go from there, if you built the cab why not the sticks too?

how did you attach the X-Arcade to the cabinet? It looks like it would move around if it was not screwed in somehow.

I built it to fit a bit snug. I didn't attach it though, because I've designed some interchangable parts. I'm planning to build a module with a steering wheel, and a module with two guns. I might combine the two though. I end up doing more planning than building sometimes.

Not a basement full, but I do have a DK Jr. upright in my basement. I also have a gutted cab I was going to turn into a MAME cab, but a motorcycle accident 3 years ago kind of slowed me down to a stop on that project.

I don't have a ton of space for arcade games in my studio, in fact I only keep one here. Klax cabaret in the kitchen...

http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/special-klax-01.jpg

The only game I can smoke about 99% of all people against. Also houses a Tetris board in there since they use identical control setups.


3/5th size Galaga MAME cabinet in storage at my parent's house...

http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/special-galagamultigame-23.jpg

I wish I had the space for it and while I could fit it in here, I enjoy having some open space.


And I guess this, a gutted Pole Position I reworked into a MAME setup...

http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/special-poleposition-12.jpg

I tore it apart and put the cabinet into storage. In fact a lot of the computer resources were moved over into the Galaga cabinet. I still have the cabinet, glass and controls stored away. I might start restoring it and rebuilding it from the ground up as a dedicated original Pole Position since we're getting closer and closer to having a stable, modern, Pole Position / Pole Position II multiboard.

It's all emulation, some proprietary system developed by Hanaho games, not as good as a real MVS, frankly not even as good as the games run in MAME, but it does have a real CRT arcade monitor/arcade hardware and you can swap out the IMG file/SD card for the TAITO games collection. A neat oddity that I'm glad to own.

I haven't gotten around to doing it yet but I plan the arrange the buttons in my Real Arcade Pro VX SA to look like Neo Geo Buttons, Funny how the colors on this stick are all neo geo button colors.

Sadly some games and mappers (fighter maker, Joytokey) don't work with my VX SA

Sill I like the VX SA better than my 2 MAS Sticks

I've got one of the SNK Gameroom Classics too and definitely prefer the Taito 20-in-1 card. Most of the Taito games are old classics. So... original PCBs would be non-JAMMA, expensive, and since they're old tech they emulate pretty well. The SNK card is limited to 6 mediocre games with mediocre emulation. I just wish the mini cab had all the voltage levels needed for true JAMMA.


For my arcade gaming I've got:
- SNK Gameroom Classics in my bedroom
- supergun and a consolized Naomi in my gameroom
- 25" Capcom dynamo (horizontal JAMMA), 19" Guerrilla War cab (vertical JAMMA w/rotary and non-rotary CPs), and a dedicated Millipede in the garage


I've got a bunch of arcade 'consoles' and single game PCBs... everything JAMMA or with a JAMMA adapter so I can use them either with the supergun or in a garage cab.

Yeah, the thing handles the Taito games much better. I typically leave that in there.

From what I've been told you can wire an external power source in there that would support a standard JAMMA board, but the space is so cramped in the cab that board itself probably wouldn't even fit.

Yup, most of my JAMMA boards probably wouldn't fit in there.

Before I bought this I read that you can run some of the MVS 1-slot mobos with just +5V and wire non-amplified audio out to external speakers. Pretty easy to turn it into a 'real' Neo Geo but I haven't bothered yet.

Heh, with everything running it's about 10kW, so it costs around $1 per hour. Not too bad, and I usually only turn on the games I want to play, except when I'm having a party.

How's the "action" on your Top Skater?

That's one of my all time favorite SEGA arcade cabinets, despite its rather limited scope of play available.

When the mechanism is in perfect working order I'm pretty darn good at it, but in the wild that thing never seemed to hold up to the extreme physical abuse that the game seems to almost require ... and the release of that cabinet was pretty close to the ultimate downturn in arcade business in the US where arcades that had it never seemed to fix it when it broke.

Did you obtain it in any type of disrepair? Have you ever had to service it? What's that like? Is it a complicated mechanism in there or just a glorified L-R analog slider.

Mine works great, but yeah... in the wild, good luck finding one w/o problems. When I got it, the skateboard had pieces missing which I ended up replacing as well as rebuilding a lot of the wear parts. It's basically got two pots and a couple switches... one pot in the board to determine lean, the other underneath attached to a gear for the side to side motion... and a switch for stepping on the front and back of the board. A major problem is the metal shaft that comes out of the skateboard to the gear gets broken because of the lock which is supposed to keep people from swinging the skateboard when they're not playing, but instead people stand on it and try to swing against the brake. If the brake wasn't there and freely swung back and forth all the time, there'd be minimal stress on that part.

Top Skater is definitely one of my favorite games, and I just recently picked up an Air Trix boardset which I'm working on installing (selectable by a switch). I can't wait to get that set up!

Seeing this thread come around again reminds me I should start collecting parts for my Pole Position cabinet to be converted again. My new idea is to set it up with a four switch early era Atari shifter and swap in a Pole Position cockpit pedal assembly (which has two pedals, accelerator and brake, but the same plate dimensions) and use it as a multi driver but still keep it looking pretty much stock. I'm contemplating surface mounting a button flush with the top of the shift knob for games like Turbo Outrun and most importantly Chase H.Q.

With the setup I had before I was able to play Pole Position, Pole Position II, Championship Sprint, Super Sprint, Konami GT, Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat, Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off-Road, Badlands and Stocker pretty well. I was using a very underpowered computer and archaic DOS MAME v0.56b so I really couldn't get away with much more. Admittedly Virtua Racing and Radmobile are also a pretty big draw for this setup.

I play arcade games on my 32" plasma or 36" Sony Trinitron via emulation, using CoinOPs on a softmodded XBox with a 250 GB HDD. I love the convenience of being able to play on my couch rather than having to sit at my desk to play on the PC. I live in a small apartment so cabs are unfortunately not an option. The controller used is what makes the real difference these days IMHO.

My weapon of choice is a Hori/Namco Tekken 5 10th Anniversary PS2 stick (HRAP 1) chassis modified with a PS1 Dual Shock PCB and full Seimitsu hardware. The Dual Shock allows for lag-free play though a converter on just about every system I own in addition to the XBox. The joystick is an LS-58 with octo gate and Sanwa battop. Player two is the exact same configuration, only with an LS-32 with a circle gate (Focus Attack 3 way gate) rather than the LS-58. This shmup fan can fire up anything from Batsugun to Ketsui Kizuna Jigoku Tachi with this setup, in addition to every beat 'em up and 1v1 fighter worth playing. It is honestly almost too good to be true.

The sticks work perfectly with converters on the XBox 360 as well, allowing for arcade-style control of the immaculate Mushihimesama Futari, Raiden Fighters Aces, and several other can't miss shmups on the system. It's a good time to be a retrogamer, that's for sure.

For me the closest I have to an Arcade cab is a modified Zaxxon Controller Panel with extra buttons and a Spinner and can direct plug into PSX, PS/2 or USB PC/Mac and C64/2600.

Some things I need to do with it but it's an 90 percent fully functioning cab. I still need to fix the EL Lighting and one of the coin slots won't accept quarters. As far as the looks go I really want to stuff an LCD in it. The cab itself is in pretty good shape. It is missing the monitor protective glass/panel, and it could use some new switches. They seem to work best once it's been warmed up a bit and you've worked the switches several times.

Wow! now THAT is nice.

What a great arcading stick for your various home systems. Very cool idea.

As for time spent using the original coin-ops.... I'd say TRON gets the most use, since I've yet to find a way to play it on an emulator. That and I tend to get pretty rough with it on the MCP and Light Cycle levels. A heavy machine like that can put up with the stress. A lot of the stuff that's easy to emulate is played on XBOX, Macs, or PCs since they're convenient. It's mainly the stuff with highly-customized control systems that get the most attention in arcade cabinet form.

This is why I only own one dedicated cabinet, and not even a Mame cab. It's a Mrs Pac-Man I was given as a gift from an ex-girlfriend. It was unworking, and left under under someones deck through the winter - But the cabinet itself and artwork were in relatively decent shape, and she felt I could easily repair the electronics. She was right. It's a cool looking cab, as they were hand-painted. It's unique, cool to own, but I haven't played it in ages.

I mean, with so many games on various consoles, plus a HTPC with Mame - There is just so much to play and ways to amuse oneself, a dedicated cabinet *I* feel is more about how it looks, and as a conversation piece. It goes with the decor, but if you own one - I can't imagine it getting much use aside from if you have friends over, and nostalgia hits. Like a a recent pal from the 80's who was here "Hey - Let's play Pitfall 2, you have your Atari still sitting on a shelf!" kinda thing. A Mame cab at the very least allows for the variety to keep things interesting for awhile....

Not as much as I used to, really. I certainly did in the past, though. I have them mainly because I don't like playing arcade games any other way; playing Double Dragon sitting at a computer tapping on a keyboard is just wrong.

...Most arcade games, anyway. I actually prefer playing shooters on a rotated TV with my Sega Saturn Eclipse stick, so my vertical cabinet is pretty much gathering dust. Also, I find the AES joystick to be much more comfortable than the MVS controls, so the big red hasn't seem much action recently.

MAME, Moduler (Model 2 emulator) and final burn + MAS or Real Arcade pro (I use both)

Supergun or consolized AES/Atomiswave/Type X (if consolized Type X boards exist)

A basement full of cabs?

Option 1 for me I have a real arcade pro and 2 Mas sticks I use (some Type X games don't like my sticks though)

I personally like to hunt for retro arcade machines, and I currently have a fully functioning, buzzing arcade room across from my kitchen. Now this option is best if the funds permit, so if you are interested in purchasing a full machine you can go to where I buy mine at http://www.arcadespecialties.com/
I found this guy while I was looking online for an 80's Galaga machine. A friend was over my house, saw me searching, and told me about this site. The prices are very reasonable for what you're getting, (I got Galaga for $1500 completely refurbished) and when I got the machine it was in near perfect condition. The best part was that there was no "put together" stage out of the box like ikea furniture, it was as simple as plug-in and play!

I have 4 cabinets right now I play on. Popeye, Time Soldiers, Centipede (cabaret), and Sunset Riders (4 player). I tried to get a different type of control on each. Sunset Riders gets a lot of play for parties, as does Centipede. Kids tend to love Popeye. Time Soldiers... that's just for me, but I can one life it on a good day, and that makes me happy (and my hands sore).

I don't have an actual cabinet. Simply do not have room. I do have Hyperspin running on my desktop, with MAME titles, Sega NAOMI, Model 2, Model 3, and Sammy Atomiswave. I currently use an Eightarc Fusion for the controller, modded with Seimitsu parts, with some alternate Sanwa parts coming my way this week. When I move, I'd like to own a MAME cabinet though.

I'm currently fitting a computer with Hyperspin (will contain many systems as well as MAME of course) and a boatload of games (over 50,000 roms) into an old hotrod Joystick. The idea is have the entire computer in the hotrod and to be able to plug it into a tv (through either composite for older games or hdmi cables for newer games) and have it be an all-in-one system. The hotrod is built for only two players, so I will have 4 usb ports in the front where other controllers can be plugged in. I am also making all of the controllers I own usable with the system by getting USB converters for each (nes to usb, snes to usb, genesis to usb, etc) so that the original system can be played with the original controllers (and on a big CRT as well through the composite :D ) for an authentic approach. If all goes well when I am finished, I may be able to sell a large amount of my collection (given that the gameplay using the system is perfect or near perfect) which I am totally ok with because I like to play the games and am not as concerned with collecting.

I figure with the original controllers, and video and sound out through composite cables to my big CRT, the experience will be identical (if not improved) in relation to playing on actual hardware.

I will make sure to post pictures and gameplay when I am finished (will be a while)!

I own seven cabs (Cosmic Guerilla,Cosmic Alien,Guardians OF The Hood MVS conversion,Final Fight-Europacoin kit,Vanguard-Cabaret,Hot Race Cocktail and a generic cabaret with the verical monitor upside down or opposite vertical for games with no vertical flip.) ,I am currently building a new test rig to get back in the repair side as most of these have issues but despite owning cabs I mostly use mame as it is more convenient.
