Kustom Mortal Kombat 9 Kab

(1/4) > >>

derep:
So MK9 recently came out and this revival of the MK2-3 era with modern graphics /combo system was irresistible.
I bought it and have been playing for the past couple months and its sparked an old interest in getting a arcade machine.
I was checking local Criagslist for "arcade" related items and within 2 weeks i stumbled on to a free cab that someone was getting rid of.
My first score on craigs! lol

I've got a xbox360 and recently bought a 24" asus lcd.
there is a company that makes a adapter for xbox usb to arcade controls but they are out of stock at the moment. So ill have to wait for that part.
Eventually i will add a PC & HS/Emulators. Is there any advice on how i should wire up the arcade controls so it will be easy to add the PC support later ?

Heres some pictures of the cab, it needs some sanding, paint,new control box, and some additional wood framing.
So far i've found a good position for the monitor and made a mount.
I started working on the control box too, and will update as i go.

You can also used hacked controllers to connect your controls.   :cheers:

Donkbaca:
Yup, just hack the controllers.

I've thought about this route, there is very little price difference to go with the pcb vs buying 2 controls and spending time to solder the crap out of em.
Pcb will be a bit cleaner and ill be able to hook up my ps3 if needed as well  ;)

Here is what i got done on the control board so far.
Need some art and plexi 34x14
Also wondering what to do about cleaning up all the edges on the whole machine, looks like previous owner used bondo or spackle

HaRuMaN:
What PCB?
