Option 1 - Reversibly MAME a locally available working PP1. Controls and monitor/gameplay are good, no work needed. Budget would be $800 or so. $350~ to buy the cab, mucho labor to strip off the PP2 sideart vinyl slapped on the sides, some minor wood repair and repainting, fabricate replacement for the busted bezel/trim for shift lever, fabricate replacement for faded, sagging cardboard monitor surround, t-mold, locks, arcadeVGA board, UHID or similar, and a beater PC. To play the 12 or so 360 degree games via Mala FE. I would probably try to sell it after 6 months or so. I would leave the PCB's in it, so don't burn my house down, OK? Option 2 - Budget $400 to build an Evo style slim upright with auto rotating lcd, using my existing monitor, pc, and CP: |

Option 2. Why go through the trouble with the PP1? If you are going to Mame something, do it to a cheap/broken machine. Why spend 350 for a cab you are just going to mame? |
| yotsuya:
I'm with Donk. You did a great job on the CP- I'd love to see what you could do with for a whole machine. |

Yeah, by the time i got done typing, I was pretty much set on proceeding with the scratch build. I do want to do an original arcade cab with stealth multigame capability, but everything that has been available lately has been either too nice to mame or basket cases. Plus I never realized how few 360 degree wheel games were out there. Heard in the background: sketchup, sketchup, creditcard, creditcard . . . . . . Project announcement soon. >:D |
