Dedicated Mortal Kombat 9
tcleary:
decided to just put an x360 in my MK2/MK3 cab and get controls wired up and go that route. so no lcd just using the monitor i have which usually runs in 640X480 but the x360 gave an option for 848 X 480. I tried that and it was a sharper picture so then I set the 360 to widescreen output and reduced the vertical until I got a letterbox proportion and I think it looks pretty good so I plan to run the game like this. I can't figure a good way to have an lcd in these cabs, it just looks weird. so I think this is the best way to run MK9 in an old school MK cab.
for now I just have two buttons kind of hanging on top for the guide button for each player. that's the only button I really needed. don't need the back button or the extra trigger/bumpers for anything. I may eventually drill holes on the side of the control panel for the guide button since I don't want to drill through the top. not sure what I'll do but this is ok for now, a bit ghetto but it's not bad. the paper around the monitor is move lists for MK2/UMK3 which I'll remove. i have full page printouts for the moves in MK9, it's way too much to try and put around the monitor.

changed my project, dedicated MK9 sounds like a good idea to me.
adidas1984x:
would you be willing to sell me the war gods control panel and buttons
tcleary:
sent you a PM about the control panel.
now I'm starting to think maybe an LCD tv would be the best display option for this cabinet, but I'm wondering how large of one I could fit in there. I would just run the xbox 360 in it so it would look great for xbox live arcade games, street fighter 4, and the new MK.
