Do both! Fix the PCB and get a cheapie PC to run VectorMAME... rig up a speakers and monitor switch. It would require the use of an external controller to play anything but Omega Race but a little brainpower could conquer that. That way you'd have a fully restored OR if you ever wanted to sell it and you could also get the benefit of horizontal vector Mame games on a vector monitor. All of which sounds like a PITA but I would think it within the realm of possibility, plus you could do it in stages. |

Mame it. Don't listen to these guys. Omega Race is as boring a game as Kangaroo. Do yourself a favor. :applaud: |

Thanks all for the feedback- I too hate the thought of gutting an orig game, but with the recent success with MAMEing a non-working Monaco GP and using its controls for Pole Position, I thought it might be worth considering similar surgery for my dead OR. It's been dead for a year and I want to see it live again but simply don't have the funds for the board repair. |

A ZVG may just be a bit much for an Omega Race cab. Especially since it's a B&W monitor. I'd mame it, add a few buttons and you could then play Star Trek, Cosmic Chasm and Zektor pretty nicely. Depending upon how many buttons you add and where, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Gravitar, Space Fury and Space Duel would look very, very cool in that cabinet. Mounting a monitor with the mirror will be a PITA but Omega Race is a very nice cabinet and I think it would be worth it. |
