I'm going to have to disagree. But if you like the game then you like the game.

I like the game. But only in multiplayer.
At a previous studio I worked at, we had the cabinet that got frequent use out of the group of us who were competitive about it. We had teams and a season bracket that we kept track of our records. It was a lot of fun, especially with people that knew how to play the game at a higher level.
Would I play it single player? Probably not for long. But it's great in a crowd.
I'm betting this would make good trade bait as well.

I'd rather it be an open ice. I just cant land a board at a reasonable price. If I can get an Open Ice board, I'll likely 2 in 1 switch the games to go between jam and OI.  I went 46 and 2 with Scorpion!

I have ShoRyuKade back, might re-MAME it, might turn it into my vert cab.

ShoRyuKade is the best use of Cade/pun, bar none.

Least effective image ever, people still necro bump for sale threads from 7 years ago.

Also kind of a kick in the dick when you come back from a 4 month break.

Last we saw this machine it looked something like this:


I sanded and smoothed out the last of the cracks and put this on it:


trimmed to fit:


and put the tmolding back.It will eventually get replaced with red.


full on side shot:

A little more detail on this side, if you care.

line the art up based on pictures of the other side:


rough trim for fitment:


after peeling and sticking, start trimming


Im aware of the "chew" in the front, I may or may not fix it. You cant make me.

Bonus "Rape Dungeon" pic!

(Crazy Taxi is GONE, replaced with a Lethal Weapon 3 pin)

so I took my old NBA Jam CP box, that was also used in my MAME "Broad street Bullies" build


and I sanded it sound and counter sunk the CP hinge bolts


then bondo'ed it and sanded it about a billion times


didnt take any pictures of it painted black by itself but here it is mounted to the cab:

[Malenko]

and here we go applying the CP box art:



Had Haruman CNC me a new CP and plexi


Got the mounting hardware secured and put the overlay down:


trimmed the edges and holes (yes I fixed the out of place buttons on player 2 eventually)


and its pretty much done:


Its powered by a Mike 2 in 1 Jamma switcher and houses both NBA Jam TE (2.0 ROM revision) and NHL Open Ice



HUGE thank you to Yotsuya for the Open Ice board, Haruman for the CNC work, and boostin4hp over at KLOV for the Open Ice art.
Still left to do:
fine or make a new monitor bezel
patch that chewed up corner
repaint the lower coin door
finish the season in NBA Jam TE


I already finished my Open Ice season:
! No longer available

Here is the 2 in 1 in action:
