anyone ever seen a MAME Omega Race?
vintagegamer:
I have a dead Omega Race. It's complete. I can't pay the expensive prices to have the board redone. Would it be worth considering MAME'ing it? Any way I could keep the original vector monitor in the setup? (I'm guessing no on the monitor).
FrizzleFried:
It would likely be as expensive if not more to MAME it.
If you MAME an Omega Race you will invoke the arcade gods and will very will earn massive negative arcade karma.
Don't do it.
TheChairmanH2K:
mame it but dont destroy any of the original art or controls.

Hey VG -- nice to see you back around.
In theory, you could build a VectorMAME and still use the vector monitor, BUT it would almost certainly cost more than board repair, assuming that you can get your hands on a Zektor ZVG board and then can get it running.
I don't think it would be worth it to MAME unless you really, really like Omega Race and want a dedicated cab in your gameroom.

Where are you at? I want an Omega Race.
