That means you can get rid of driving games, trackball, spinner, lightgun, etc... |

We were just arguing HD size and SSD vs. normal HD's here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,128898.msg1317919.html#msg1317919 |

I just checked my Hyperspin media folder and I have 54gb of videos/art for just the systems you listed above. I could probably shave off about 10-15gb of that if I was a little more selective, but that should give you an idea of how large the video and artwork files get when you are doing a well setup Hyperspin machine. |

thank you all very much... i think maybe 100GB drive (maybe a little bigger) might actually do the trick if i "cut out" alot of the stuff.. this machine is important but in a few years i will invest ALOT more time and effort (and $$$) into a fresh build with a NON x arcade main board... which i am assuming is the right way to go? what is the best "custom motherboard/wiring board" i should look into? also, i am using a 22" widescreen(ya i know that sucks) lcd monitor for my screen. is there any compatible "lightguns" for it? Thanks |

X-Arcade parts are cheap Chinese knock-offs of Happ parts. Make a decision on American vs. Japanese parts, get quality stuff whichever way you go (mostly Happ/iL for American, Sanwa/Seimitsu for Japanese), and lay it out in a sensible layout. There are plenty of arguments from both sides on American vs. Japanese and different layouts here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,118842.msg1258669.html#msg1258669 --- Quote from: jgoucher12 on November 30, 2012, 12:38:57 pm ---what is the best "custom motherboard/wiring board" i should look into? --- End quote --- Do you mean controller encoder? --- Quote from: jgoucher12 on November 30, 2012, 12:38:57 pm ---also, i am using a 22" widescreen(ya i know that sucks) lcd monitor for my screen. is there any compatible "lightguns" for it? Thanks --- End quote --- I'd recommond a CRT of course, but if your cab require a flat screen, just make sure to use something with low input lag: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/sub-1-frame-hdtv-monitor-input-lag-database.145141/ Edit: That link seems to have stopped working, here's a new one http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/145141/sub-1-frame-hdtvmonitor-input-lag-database/p1 I think there are lightguns that will reference an LED bar or something like that (like a WiiMote), so you can get away without a CRT. |
