So I've got this buddy who has a pretty nice looking Double Dragon cab that I'd like to get my hands on. DD was one of my favorites. It's the nice version, with the 25" monitor. ***edit on 2/23/10...it only has a 19" monitor *** I've been searching for a good candidate cab to upgrade my Mame setup to something that will make my AimTrak shine. I needed a cab with a fairly large monitor with little tilt. I had toyed with the idea of building my own with a TV, but I'm just too lazy :afro: My question is this: if I preserve the integrity of the cab -- remove and keep all of the original controls, PCB, power supply, etc and not mar any of the cab itself with new holes, is it acceptable to Mame this cab? My intention would be to preserve the ability to turn it back into a dedicated DD cab if I ever wanted to let it go again, which I could very easily do. Or is that still just not kosher? I'm really trying to avoid bad karma here. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. |

I'm sure that with the care you are taking to make it reversible that no one will complain. It's you cab and you are the primary one to please so go for it. ;D |

Your money, your cabinet, you have the rights to do whatever you want with it. All of mine "look" original, but are Mamed. I even leave the original board in it just to say I own the original roms. Try to leave the original control panel alone...or do what I do and buy a duplicate that you can hack up :cheers: |

Do what you've got to do. I've got a pretty sweet Donkey Kong cabinet that looks factory fresh but runs MAME. The control panel is original and no one can tell otherwise unless they are actually playing it. Sure, I could say that it is reversible to it's original state if I were to find an old Sanyo monitor and the PCB but in reality you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands before I ever let that happen. :cheers: |
