in between normal, coin-op size, cabaret (which is 60 inch, is that normal?), and cocktail,
they even have a bartop, although i don't like them, wonder how much it will be:


==================================
IMPORTANT NOTE : SCREEN SHOT IS FROM A BOOTLEG ROM version, called ms pac man plus/ms pac attack.
good job namco, sheeshh.......

speaking of other formats, i wonder how much the 1up cocktail models will be

wonder how much they can bring the cost down for those, i wouldnt think by much more
than real ones,

i would buy this bartop, but i'm sure it will be pretty expensive.

Love the circular conversations/arguments in this thread  ::)

Reminds me of a political discussion among friends that takes place on social media.  ie: you are wrong I am right.....no YOU are wrong I am right!  *repeat until the next controversial topic takes over*

Its a $299 toy that some folks will love, some will hate, some will buy, some will not.  Whatevs....lets not blow this out of proportion.   :laugh2:

You say that now, but wait till all the inevitable “How do I hack my Arcade1up to run with a Pi???” questions showing up later this year.

Is that really two guys talking about ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- over an hour? I am not going to watch that sir. Gimme a summary or get out. :)

the freeplay arcade guys were cherry picking their arguments.

also, they didn't even have or try an actual unit, they only
talked about other peoples reviews.

---------------------
- they actually didn't go through the gamelists for each cabinet

- they bedgrudgingly admitted the centipede cabinet had a decent selection of games

- they also admitted the final fight cabinet might be decent also

- they never addressed what was actually wrong with the sf2 one, except that it didn't have hyper fighting,
and they don't know the difference between super sf2, and super sf2 turbo

so i wonder if they really actually know about the sf2 games at all

- they didn't address what was wrong with galaga / galaxian

- the didn't mention pac-man, or space invaders either


so they actually didn't really say that much, besides 'emulation is bad'..

i looked into the teamplay machines, and they are well built,

but i don't know how much they cost.

also, missile command looks terrible stretched out, and the cabinets look weird.
==============================









here's the video for modding the unit with a pi:

already making room for the pac-man machine.

i already listed all the multi pac games i would put on it,
and/or make it into a namco multicab.

you must have skipped all those posts where i said i was getting it.

waiting on the dig dug bartop price, and/or cocktail cabinet prices
to decide about those also.

and will be modding them to put a pc and replacing controllers on them.

will wait for the deluxe to come way down in price, or get one  used.
will mod that also.

i keep all the hardware i buy, good or bad.

i've returned one piece of software in the last year.
pac man championship 2 dx, it ran too slow on my pc (steam). $20

i just returned the micro arcade dig dug due to a defective screen $25, getting another shortly.

i have tons of controllers, mini and micro arcade games, consoles, etc, etc -> mostly used, i keep them all,
including the broken ones. i had a broken xbox 360 (RROD), gave it away after using it for 10 years.

i have a non-working CED disc player, that i've kept. a hardware HD DVD player that still works, but i don't use it.
i have a SONY receiver that the LED display stopped working, having touched it in 6 years. i have several old
computers, monitors, and tons of audio equipment, turntables etc, etc.

i don't really worry too much about things after i get them, as long as i enjoy them for
the time that i have it. the only thing i use constantly is a samsung 46 inch HD tv (720p), and the
two xbox consoles (360, and one). i have a blasteroids arcade machine that is in mint condition, that
i play a few times a year.

so, yes i'm a packrat. but i'm organized though.

yes,
i go through phases:
------------------------------------
portable handheld phase - bought about 30 of them, played them all once, now collecting dust,
have a broken sega gamegear (anyone want it).. and a working neo-geo pocket color.

led watches - bought about 20 of them, most are broken, and almost every single one has non-working batteries

lcd watches - bought about 40 of them, again almost every single one has non working batteries

pac-man collection - still going on, bought a collectors watch 2 years ago, never wear it, bought a moleskin booklet, calender, mouse pad

currently collecting little dot-s japanese pixel art toys [you put colored pegs on a grid to recreate arcade game sprites]


also collecting random micro and mini arcade consoles [mostly namco titles]

this is all peanuts compared to my music collection of at least 2000 records, and 3000+ cd's....

i use to collect marbles, hot wheels cars, comic books, and model car/airplane/sci fit kits... but gave up on the model kits
after most of them became snap kits, i like the kind where you had to glue and paint everything yourself.

not sure what will catch my interest nowadays, there's not a lot, unless you count retrogaming and consoles.

everythings digital nowadays.

Well he didn't have any money, but now that the theater is installed the picture and sound are so much better that it seems like he has more.  He took some video of a dollar and it turned into 100 on the big screen.  ;)

nope. not anymore, ha ha.

if you notice, i almost buy everything used.
so that saves a lot of money.

and most of my stuff is from the 80s and 90s, when i was working.

i haven't had a job in about a decade now. i do part time tutoring and computer consulting now.

haven't had steady income for a long time.

not married, no kids, no rent, live in a paid off house.

so my only bills are food, gas, and phone pretty much (internet included in phone bill).

I have a wife and two kids in college.  I figure I could live comfortably on 1/4 of my salary if I was single.  But the wife and kids are worth it....kinda....  >:D

Hah, not really. Being married for 10 years without having kids was awesome. Being parents now, is equally awesome, for different reasons.

No, the eyeroll was for Mr.TMI claiming he's not rich, with no dependents and no real bills (possible no life?) ...disposable income is next to being rich, tbh.

rich is in the eye of the beholder.

i make my own schedule, decide when and where to work. if i feel like it.
i try to do a lot of volunteer and social work, at a church, food bank, etc.

i spend about $20 a week on food. never eat out.

spend time reading, listening to music, watching tv/movies, and playing videogames.

it's kind of like retirement, but not quite.

i worked 50+ hours a week for years, and now am relaxing and enjoying life.

so what if i drive a 1991 car, and am technically under the poverty level (i only make 2-3k per year),

at least i am enjoying my health and time for now.

Say what you want, but most companies would have ignored issues like artwork wear and such.  So cheers to them for stepping up and trying to make it right.

you obviously weren't paying attention. at 3:46 he intentionally says these are just basic replacements that
are an improvement on the stock controls.

if you want to go all out, and buy expensive arcade parts, go ahead, but this is about doing it on
a low inexpensive budget, and still getting some improvement.

Pretty sad observation if a $40 Amazon 2 player ENcoder/Button kit is an improvement over the ones they use in these !

:laugh2: I love that he replaces the cheap sh*t with more cheap sh*t. I wonder how long those $6 encoders and dollarmart buttons will last lol

you obviously weren't paying attention. at 3:46 he intentionally says these are just basic replacements that
are an improvement on the stock controls.

if you want to go all out, and buy expensive arcade parts, go ahead, but this is about doing it on
a low inexpensive budget, and still getting some improvement.

Oh I was paying attention alright.  My point is why even bother replacing the stock parts if you are just going to use more cheapo parts? I get that he said if you want to keep costs down, but I disagree with that statement as you will end up paying for it in the end when these cheap "upgraded" components  break down or malfunction and you have to spend your time, energy and money fixing it.

That being said, it's not my cab so I really don't care and people can do what they want with their builds.

Say what you want, but most companies would have ignored issues like artwork wear and such.  So cheers to them for stepping up and trying to make it right.

Even more companies would have done it right the first time....

LOL Nope!  Almost all corporations are evil and they try to get as much money with as little product as possible.

i disagree,

there are far too many picky people here, and OCD also. i'm one of them.

show me a 'perfect' product, and i'll pick it apart in no time flat.

i've yet to find one.

there are acceptable and good products, but never any perfect ones.

this video is more of an example on how to do something, thats easy for noobies, and beginners.

it's not an advanced replacement, with arcade quality parts, which would be overkill at most times.

that being said, lets see what happens if someone gets around to replacing the spinner, and trackball,
because you can't really get cheap parts for those, and there may be more issues with encoders, and other things.

for what it was worth, i've never replaced parts before (except adjusting my spinners on blasteroids), so i learned a lot.

i will probably do a joystick replacement on pac-man, but that shouldn't be too hard either.

I could point out all the places selling cabinets that aren't absolute ---smurfing--- garbage, but what would be the point?

There’s a big difference between “perfect product” and “hey, gentle rubbing removes the art pretty easily”. All it would take is some research and throughout testing.

They have addressed and are fixing the artwork issues and the Gauntlet crash issues:

This guy gives an "honest review". Be warned, he's a fairly positive person and I know some of you guys aren't looking for a positive review:

For my 6 and 8 year old daughters, I ordered the Rampage model.

Down the line, I may swap in a Pandoras box, but for a while, they'll love Joust and Rampage.
