We hope you all have a great time and can use this as a resource as well as a place to hang out and swap stories, information, and helpful links. Here are a few links we've found pretty helpful. If you know of one to add, respond to this thread and we'll (eventually) add them to the list!

In no particular order (since the most important one is on the bottom) here are almost all of the links I used to build my cab, and repair my jamma cab. All should be current and active. I just cut and pasted these all from my favorites, so APPRECIATE it damnit. (Someone can edit out the doubles from clubninja)

While it is based arround an old emulator, it is an Excellent resource of Arcade Specs and Games lists for SEGA, Capcom, Irem, Namco, Konami, Taito, Atari, Williams / Bally / Midway, and a few others... Pinball too. Hardly Updated though.

Hey. If you don't mind me adding a link, here's my Supergun Building journal. May be useful to someone.

Don't think I saw this one here:

http://www.usamusement.com/

they do arcade auctions as well as www.superauctions.com

Not sure how useful it will be but my site is:

www.roguesynapse.com

We just migrated servers and my webmaster just had his first child so a few parts of the site are down (Death Race and arcade pics)- Still, there is arcade art and software for mainly movie related arcade stuff and custom cabs (Starfighter, Space Paranoids, working on Bishop of Battle, and a few Easter eggs on the site hopefully soon)- All software is designed to run in a cab (MAME type interface)-

Otherwise, thanks for the excellent links above-

If you don't mind, i would like to introduce you a China Arcade Video Coin-op Game Spare Parts Supplier:
http://www.uniarcade.com
(Mainly Arcade spare parts, video game parts, coin operated machine parts, dance/music machine parts, drum machine parts, pinball machine parts..etc).

But they normally deal with wholesales, seems sometime handle retail also.
I think this may be useful for some arcade shop or center intending purchasing arcade spare parts from China.

[ubersaurus]

I want to direct people towards www.lizardlick.com for arcade parts. They even stock Japanese parts! Also a good place if you're looking to get parts to mod an arcade stick for console or PC use.

Thousands of flyer scans are here

Definitely a cool little collection. Disks of Tron, Crystal Castles, Marble Madness... remember playing those games all the time back when we actually had arcades around these parts. Damn you progression of time for ruining it all!
