BUMP.

Hey guys, i'm running into a problem.

My family says that we're moving, and I probably won't be able to get an upright, so I'm considering a backup plan.

I'm thinking about just buying an x-arcade dual joystick, and fashioning my laptop into a makeshift bartop.

Does this sound like a good compromise?

Sure. If you just want to be able to play classics, that's a good compromise. Keep the idea of a cabinet in the back of your mind... We'll be here to help when you're ready!  :cheers:

Might check with yuppicide in the B\S\T sub forum he has one he is selling for $50 that you might be able to get him to ship to you much cheaper than a new one ! Here's a link to his thread ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,141035.0.html )

Plus, if I wanted to, I can replace the regular sticks with fighting sticks, right?

I think you can, but I don't have any experience with one so I don't know the process. Anyone care to weigh in?
