I know I don't really post on these forums, but recently I was browsing the listings over at Alibaba.com and one thing that caught my eye was a custom Street Fighter cab that I've traced back to Martijn's old thread. I understand he sold his with the idea of a better project in mind, but this has me wondering if the plans for his original cabinet were being shared by some other party, or did they just happen to get swiped from a database somewhere? Auction in question - http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Street-Fighter-arcade-Machine-WSA-0905SF-_60209298843.html?spm=a2700.7724838.30.137.P3ImYk Main site of product - http://www.sunamusement.com/product/Arcade-Machine/Upright-Arcade-Machine/Street-Fighter-arcade-Machine-64.html Original project post - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,84649.0/all.html?PHPSESSID=nsjrct8rqdlkvscuqlkfqh1441 I know I feel a little sick about it. The only reason for this post is because I had concern for some people and thought it might be necessary to bring it up. |

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but if you read the very first line of his thread, his was inspired by another cabinet, and if you look at THAT thread, that cabinet was a reproduction of the global cabinets. Isn't it far more likely that they got the plans from global or they ripped off the design from them? |

I did double check to make sure I wasn't mistaking anything. Waveryder is the one who printed all the artwork for this project and a search through google wasn't able to turn up any results unless it led right back to this place, so I'd have imagined it was a fully custom rather then any type that was being used as a global standard. If SunAmusements is the first one that I know about outside of this project to be putting any of his work onto their own cabs, well I guess that explains everything when I read they're based out of China somewhere... |
